Building a Capsule Wardrobe for Today’s Business Professional
Building a work capsule wardrobe is an absolute must if you want to look smart, professional and stylish at work. Choosing key pieces for work takes the guesswork out of getting dressed in the morning; these can also be easily updated when worn in conjunction with seasonal and/or fashionable pieces.
When choosing pieces for your capsule wardrobe, keep three words in mind: versatility, simplicity and longevity. Each piece should be versatile enough to wear with many pieces in your wardrobe, but simple enough to style quickly in the morning. Items in your capsule wardrobe should also be seen as investment pieces, items of clothing that are classic and timeless, and can last for years.
Another consideration is colour. Generally, capsule pieces are in neutral colours – think black, navy, grey, beige, cream and white. These can then be easily accessorised with on-trend items or given a pop of colour with a fashion-forward piece.
So what makes up a capsule wardrobe? A good start is a coat or jacket, a suit, a tailored dress, smart shirts or tops, and a smart jumper or cardigan. At Buttercups, we carry a number of different collections of corporate wear, each of which carry a wide choice of these key pieces. Read on to find out more about our corporate collections.
