The winter period is the most important when comes to weather wardrobe choices. It can be overwhelming when you start thinking about what coat to buy, what colors you need, and what materials are appropriate for the weather to keep you warm in cold temperatures. This is when a Capsule Wardrobe can help us the most.

For winter dressing, we need to own items that will help us get dressed easier, that are not trend-focused, and the perfect options for layering, as dressing to keep warm goes deeper than just a scarf and a pair of boots.

To have a functional wardrobe, we need to have certain staple pieces that we can wear the entire year, in all seasons. The best way to achieve this is with a capsule wardrobe.

What is a capsule wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a collection of clothing essentials, staples pieces that are easy to combine, helping you to build different outfits from your closet, and making dressing up much fun.

Before building a Winter capsule wardrobe, a good tip is to clear up your closet by storing away all items that are not useful in cold weather and invest in the basics personalized for you. It is better to focus on getting high-quality basics as they will last through many washes.

It is very individual how many pieces you want to have in your capsule wardrobe, and to be honest, I think it does not matter the quantity, most important is all about having the pieces that will work for you and your lifestyle.

How to create a Winter capsule wardrobe?

I know that Winter requires more items than any other season, but what I do to save some money is invest in the outer layers and in what I use the most, the coats, the boots, and the jumpers. I pay very much attention to the quality of the items to ensure that I can bring back the same pieces year after year. Materials like Cashmere and Merino wool will pass the test of time and are very soft and comfortable on the skin.

I suggest first having a look at my Winter Capsule Wardrobe checklist to see if you are missing any of the items, and then keep scrolling below where I found some of the pieces that will help you build a Capsule Wardrobe for Winter. These are good quality and will keep you warm and stylish throughout the season.

Whether is a crew or turtleneck, knitwear jumpers are essentials for your everyday winter dressing, I love the turtlenecks for the days when I don’t want to wear a scarf, but also I think a turtleneck gives a chic vibe to any outfit.
