Morning wardrobe panic, anyone? Yeah, I’ve been there until I discovered how to create a Business Capsule Wardrobe. What if I told you that with just 15 pieces, you could kiss those morning meltdowns goodbye? I use to wake up for work at 6am and it took me forever to get dressed. I felt like I was wearing the same thing over and over again. I also felt like every piece I owned was very “stand-out-ish” so if I wore it once, I felt like I couldn’t keep it in rotation. I started shopping more intentional and started to invest in staple pieces that have stayed in my work wardrobe for 5+ years. I’ve created a business casual capsule wardrobe that’s so classic, it’ll still be turning heads next year (and the year after that).
Is Building a Business Capsule Wardrobe a Lot of Work?
Now, before you roll your eyes thinking this is another “buy all new stuff” post, hold up. I’ve handpicked these gems from Everlane because, let’s face it, their work wear game is strong, and their quality? Is great. The last thing you want is to order a bunch of clothes that don’t look and feel great. Also buying clothes from the same store when curating a collection for work is a lot easier and quicker! The shoe’s are some of my favorites from different stores that are very comfy for work. We’re investing in pieces that’ll stick around longer than your office’s coffee machine.

Keeping Your Business Capsule Wardrobe Fresh (AKA How to Not Ruin Your New Faves)
