By Kelsey Hokit
Picking out an outfit every morning for work can be exhausting and the last thing you want to deal with as you are running out the door every morning. However, with this capsule work wardrobe, each piece will mix and match with others so you can just grab your top and bottoms and be out the door looking stylish while not being stressed.
Gone are the days of scrambling and trying on multiple outfits only to feel defeated. The pieces below are classic and will last you for years to come.
1) Black Pants
A great pair of black pants are a staple in any closet. The great thing is that black pants for work will come in a wide range of styles and fits so you can find something that works perfectly for you. You can choose a skinny pair, flare leg, high rise, or belted. You will be able to wear anything with these pants, which makes them an absolute must for a work wardrobe.
2) Blazer
A fabulous fitting blazer is a key staple for a work wardrobe. If you are wanting a piece that will go with anything, then a good neutral colour would be best. A black or tan would go with any item in your capsule wardrobe and there are many variations of a brown or tan colour so you can find something that suits you.
3) White Button-Up
A white button-up shirt is a perfect addition to a capsule work wardrobe. Not only can you wear it with pants or a skirt, but you can layer a blazer on top for a more polished look. There are so many options when it comes to a white button-up so you are sure to find something that is flattering for you.
4) Pencil Skirt
Regardless of your work environment, a pencil skirt is a great addition to a work capsule wardrobe. Pencil skirts can be dressed up or dressed down. You can absolutely wear a white button-up and blazer with your pencil skirt or a casual sweater or blouse to keep it more casual.
5) Neutral Shoes
A great pair of shoes is necessary for a capsule work wardrobe. Whether you prefer to wear flats or want a pair of heels, you can find something that fits your style and needs. If you get a pair in black or nude, they will go with anything you wear.
A capsule work wardrobe will make your life much easier and your mornings less stressful. Getting ready should be easy and fun and with these pieces, it will only take you a few minutes to pick something out and be on your way out the door.
