Capsule wardrobes are becoming more popular as consumers are pulling away from the craze of fast fashion and investing in timeless, quality wardrobe items instead of a bulk quantity of clothes that never gets worn. But a capsule wardrobe doesn’t end with clothes – It’s all about the accessories.
If you’re not familiar with the idea of capsule wardrobes, it means having a small thoughtfully curated collection of clothes you love that’s stylish and can be easily mixed and matched, all to make deciding what to wear and elevating your style, easier.
Some may consider capsule wardrobes the basics, but we think they’re actually the classics.
Accessories hold a place in the world of capsule dressing and have the power to make or break an outfit. Instead of having thousands of different styles of accessories that don’t always coincide, refine your collection to the classic essentials that are versatile enough to accommodate any outfit.
Accessories are there to complete your outfit. Especially when working with a capsule wardrobe, you will need those little finishing touches to change the style of a repeated ensemble.
It’s the elegant belt to add a stylish flare, or the gold hoops to elevate your everyday office look. The classic sunnies for any outfit no matter the weather and the essential handbag that can be used day and night.

We love the idea of having a simplified capsule wardrobe! One of the common objections to a capsule wardrobe is the fear of getting bored or ending up wearing the same outfits over and over – but accessories can change any look drastically with their polished magic.
Here are our go-to accessories you can use to build a foundation of small collection of accessories, and get the most out of your capsule wardrobe:
Belts
The right belt can do more than just hold pants up—this accessory can bring an outfit together, add a chic detail to a dress and even be a statement piece unto itself. Always choose a belt that is suited to the occasion – Simple, classic belt with a casual daytime look and a more glam belt for an evening look.

Everyday Jewellery
Depending on your skin tone, it’s always a good idea to have gold or silver hoops in different sizes. A simple hoop can elevate an everyday look and can become your everyday jewellery.

Sunglasses
We all know sunglasses are not only for the warmer months. It’s an accessory for the entire year. Yes, you might have a few pairs for different occasions and outfits, but you should also have 1 or 2 classic pairs for every day in-betweens. We love a thick, cat-eye frame this season.
Note: Always make sure to find a frame that compliments your facial structure.

Bags
A bag might just be the most important accessory because you carry your life in your bag. Choose one that can work for day and night, your work ‘fits and then have a second bag that exudes an ever-green style to accentuate any look.
