With winter here, I wanted to gather all the outfit guides that I have to help you create a winter capsule wardrobe and have a few ideas on how to style each item. As females, we tend to always overbuy. But for the past two months, I have stopped myself from buying anything!
Can you believe that I didn’t get myself anything during the Black Friday sale? That was because I realised that I had everything I needed to get me through the winter! This is what a capsule wardrobe is all about. Having a few things that can be styled in so many ways! It literally will make you feel like you have so many clothes.
In this post, I will share a winter capsule wardrobe list with a style guide for each item. You can also check out my blog post where I have gathered 7 winter essentials you need, which can be added to your minimalist winter capsule wardrobe. Click HERE for the blog post!
This post is all about an ultimate style guide to a minimalist winter capsule wardrobe.
Minimalist Winter Capsule Wardrobe
How To Create A Winter Capsule Wardrobe?
A winter capsule wardrobe will include a few neutral-toned pieces that can be styled with many other pieces in your wardrobe. It should consist of a few winter coats, knitwear, winter shoes, accessories, and bottoms. Below I have created a winter capsule wardrobe list with style guides so you have multiple ideas on how to style each item.
Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe List:
1. Bottoms
A few different styles of bottoms will help you create a winter capsule wardrobe. Two of my favourite ones are cigarette trousers and wide-leg jeans. They are the perfect modest addition to your capsule wardrobe and can be styled in so many different ways. These can be taken across all seasons just like most of the items I will be highlighting below.
Style Guide 1: Wide Leg Jeans Outfit Ideas
1. H&M WOOL BLEND SUIT TROUSERS 2. MANGO HIGH RISE WIDE LEG JEANS
3. MANGO WIDE LEG JEANS 4. H&M CIGARETTE TROUSERS
2. Blazers
I have become obsessed with blazers especially when I discovered that you can style them in so many different ways. From casual to smart – it is totally up to you! And because of that, I wanted to add it to this winter capsule wardrobe list. Blazers are perfect for autumn, winter and spring! As long as you are buying a thin breathable material, you will be able to wear them in any season!
Style Guide 2: Blazer Outfit Ideas
1. AMAZON THE DROP SAGE BLAZER 2. AMAZON THE DROP BLACK WRAP FRONT BELTED BLAZER 3. AMAZON THE DROP COFFEE BEAN BLAZER 4. AMAZON THE DROP LILAC MARBLE WRAP FRONT BELTED BLAZER 5. MANGO DOGTOOTH WOOL BLEND BLAZERS 6. AMAZON THE DROP WHITE BLAZER
3. Midi Skirts
You can wear the same midi skirt every season in different ways and according to the weather. This is why midi skirts are the perfect addition to your modest capsule wardrobe! I have a style guide using a satin midi skirt but if you are wanting to go for a different style midi skirt, for example, pleated, then the style guide can still be used!
Style Guide 3: Midi Skirt Outfit Ideas
1. BLACK SATIN SKIRT 2. SAGE SATIN SKIRT 3. EMERALD PLEATED SATIN SKIRT 4. BLACK PLEATED SKIRT
4. Cardigans
For winter, cropped cardigans are perfect as you can wear them under your coats. Whereas with a maxi cardigan you would need to have a coat that is the same length as the cardigan so the cardigan doesn’t show at the bottom. You can have one cropped cardigan and style it in so many ways. So you do not need to overdo it by buying cardigans.
Style Guide 4: Cropped Cardigan Outfit Ideas
1. H&M V NECK CARDIGAN 2. H&M WRAPOVER CARDIGAN 3. H&M WOOL BLEND CARIDGAN
5. Tops
Tops are perfect for layering and winter is layering season! Long sleeve turtleneck tops are perfect for this weather. I got three different colours so they can match different outfits. This means I would have more ways to style them. I put together a guide on some ways you can style long sleeve tops this winter.
Style Guide 5: Long Sleeve Turtleneck Top Outfit Ideas
In some of the style guides I have linked above, you will also see other ways I have styled long sleeve turtleneck tops for winter.
1. H&M TURTLENECK JUMPER 2. BROWN TURTLENECK TOP 3. AMAZON THE DROP BLACK TURTLENECK TOP 4. AMAZON THE DROP PORPOISE TURTLENECK TOP 5. AMAZON THE DROP WHITE TURTLENECK TOP
6. Knitwear
Knitwear will include jumpers/polo neck jumpers and knit dresses. Having a few warm neutral knitwear for your minimalist winter capsule wardrobe is a must. I discovered knit dresses during my pregnancy and they have been my go-to since then for winter. So if you don’t have at least two knit dresses, then I highly recommend you add them to your wardrobe!
Style Guide 6: Knitwear Outfit Ideas
1. H&M BLUE RIB KNIT DRESS 2. H&M POLO NECK JUMPER 3. H&M JUMPER DRESS 4. H&M RIB KNIT HALF ZIP JUMPER 5. H&M RIB KNIT DRESS
7. Winter Footwear
This guide is a little different to the rest. But check out the link below for some essential winter footwear that will help you get through winter. Buying good quality winter footwear will last you at least next winter too!
1. NEUTRAL TRAINERS 2. ANKLE BOOTS 3. KNEE HIGH BOOTS 3. BLACK WELLINGTON BOOTS
8. Winter Coats
Another guide that isn’t the same as the others. I gathered different styles of winter coats for every budget!
1. H&M PADDED TEDDY COAT 2. H&M DOUBLE-BREASTED WOOL BLEND COAT 3. H&M OVERSIZED PUFFER JACKET 4. H&M TEDDY COAT 5. H&M WATER-REPELLENT PUFFER COAT
