must-haves
What is the “capsule wardrobe” ? Needless to say, it is a bit of an enigma. What I seem unable to grasp most about this concept, is the “one size, fits all” approach. How can that be so? How can we create a capsule wardrobe that works for everyone when we all have our own sense of fashion and style? What is fashion if it is not a way to express ourselves? Granted, the white tee shirt and the black pants are always a must-have (Yes, no matter who you are, you have to own certain things…) but what about the rest of it? In the spirit of #NewYearNewYou, I’m calling for a new capsule wardrobe, one that has all the basics – your striped breton sweater, your perfect LBD and LBW – but one that also incorporates all those other pieces
The ones that are classics with a twist, the ones that tug at your heart strings because you know you’ll wear them forever and ever. It’s about that piece that will be your classic. I’m kicking off 2017 wishing for all these beautiful pieces for my perfect capsule wardrobe of the year. If none of these tickle your fashion fancy, then scroll down for a little surprise! Farfetch has created a widget just for you, which creates a personalised capsule wardrobe based completely on your style. All you have to do is answer a few quick questions and Voila! Let’s make 2017 your most stylish year yet!
