75/25: A Common Capsule Wardrobe, and Signature Red

November 29, 2012  

Originally, where I thought I was going with the idea of a common capsule wardrobe was to show that a wardrobe of 75% neutral, basic, "work horse" garments could be made unique and extremely versatile using 25% "signature" garments.  We all got swept up in a tide of great accessories, and I lost track of where I was headed!  But now I've returned to my original idea: the Common Capsule Wardrobe, with 4 "accent" garments, and some accent accessories...Does it go without saying that you could wear one of these outfits, pack the rest of the garments, and be in good shape for quite a long trip?

Capsule Wardrobe Project 333: my clothes, step by step

I was not able to finish navy/grey last night, so I'm doing another step-by-step, this time using my own personal 333.  This is a thought process that I can describe in great detail!   Regarding the final number of tops, jackets, cardigans etc.: start with a general target number for your final wardrobe.  I personally like to have 10 "bottoms" (i.e. skirts or pants), and I want 6 or 8 cardigans or blazers, because I wear them frequently.  And I know going in that I want to include both a very basic black knit dress, and my road-warrior black velvet Eileen Fisher dress.     First, I of course will start with black.  I wear a lot of black, and I never get bored or tired of it.  (lots of scarves ...

Silk top – Max Mara, cardigan – Trine Vestergaard, ballet flats – French Sole, earrings – Tarina Tarantino  

I'll try these items with the Common Wardrobe.
