How to Build a Capsule Winter Wardrobe
Investing in minimalistic garments made from ethically sourced fabrics that are cut into classic silhouettes is not only better for the environment, but it also makes planning your outfits far easier. These pieces create a capsule wardrobe – a collection of high-quality, key items that will stand the test of time.
Creating a timeless wardrobe adds diversity and dimension to your wardrobe in a minimalist and sustainable way. It also makes everyday dressing more effortless, as you are able to select from a variety of modern pieces that are streamlined. When winter rolls around and we begin to dress to suit a different set of elements, a capsule wardrobe helps us to achieve comfort without compromising a clean, minimalistic style. By investing in timeless pieces, you can avoid the constant need to keep up with trends and enjoy a more sustainable approach to fashion.
Nique’s Must-Haves for a Capsule Winter Wardrobe
Nique specialises in pieces that thrive in a capsule wardrobe, boasting crisp, clean cuts and all-season wearability. The following pieces are versatile, diverse staples that make fabulous additions to anyone’s wardrobe.
A Basic Long-Sleeve Shirt
Sometimes, there’s nothing more polished than a minimalistic long sleeve. Nique’s range of men's, women's and unisex tops pair with almost anything, making them a must-have component for any capsule wardrobe.
Long sleeves especially convey an effortless look. Whether you pair a staple white button-up with jeans or a cotton shirt with trousers, long-sleeve shirts offer simple solutions and layering opportunities.
Tailored Jeans or Pants
A staple pair of pants is the foundation of any outfit – and, therefore, needs to be part of a capsule wardrobe. Jeans or pants need to pair well not only with shoes and tops, but coats and jackets as well, especially in winter.
Nique’s selection of men’s, women’s and unisex pants is minimalist and adaptable, allowing your closet to achieve the desired diversity. From straight-leg cuts to more contemporary tailoring, Nique’s edit offers an array of clean denim, sophisticated fabrics and neutral colours.
The Oversized Jumper or Knitwear
A familiar desire in winter is to simply pull a cosy jumper over our heads and be ready for the day. This can be easily achieved with Nique’s knitwear, where a sophisticated cardigan or sweater can look even more effortlessly cool than it feels luxurious. Pair a knitwear garment or oversized jumper with any of your other capsule pieces for a look that is polished and comfortable.
Rock the Leather Jacket
A quality leather item can last in your wardrobe for a lifetime with the correct care. Which is why it's no surprise they are so popular in a forever wardrobe. A leather jacket elevates any outfit, providing a touch of edge and an added texture for any kind of occasion.
Finish With a Classic Coat
When the temperature winds down, we turn to jackets and coats to bring us necessary warmth and comfort. These pieces also act as the finishing touch to any cool-weather outfit, tying the look together.
A classic coat is an essential capsule criterion – a mandatory component of any layered ensemble. Nique’s outerwear edit blends seasonal functionality with style, using modern silhouettes and clever detailing to create interesting, timeless pieces. Each carefully crafted from natural fabrics that will last in your closet and out in the world for years to come, Nique’s coats and jackets are adaptable must-haves that scream style and longevity.
