I have at least one day a week where I teach for several hours in a room with no windows and no fresh air. I favour Thomas Pink for shirts but as long as it’s clean and crisp – I wouldn’t care too much about the label. On days where it’s necessary to adopt a formal look, I find that you can’t really go wrong with a well fitted shirt. I attribute a crisp white shirt for getting me a job to begin with so it makes sense to retain one in my wardrobe. I could go more informal by matching the dress with a cardigan and I can of course match a variety of tops with the skirt that can vary through the seasons. I have some beautiful LK Bennett suits (in a smaller size) but I found I didn’t wear them often purely due to the cost of dry cleaning.īy buying a jacket that has a co-ordinating dress and skirt, I have so many more options available. Hobbs certainly isn’t what I would deem ‘affordable’ fashion however it does provide cost effectiveness in that it wears well and provides options that are machine washable. In the past I’ve coveted more unique designs or fabrics but in reality, adaptability has to win. I love a good tailored suit but in teaching you really need clothes that are hard wearing and practical. As I said before – my wardrobe, my rules! Capsule wardrobe for ‘work’ Therefore, for Autumn/Winter 16 I effectively have a capsule with two subsections. I do still like to adopt a more casual look on the weekends though and actually changing my clothes is a good way to ‘switch off’ work mode. For that reason, a capsule wardrobe made more sense than ever I didn’t have the budget for vast variation but needed something that would fit well and be functional. I’m still about 4lbs above my ‘normal’ weight now but was well over a stone heavier upon my return. Obviously, the return to work necessitated that I also needed to address my formal wardrobe.
I had to add in a few pairs of shorts for our holiday in America, but for the most part it has remained the same.
#True autumn capsule wardrobe update#
For that reason, I like to keep the same basic wardrobe but to update it or rotate items seasonally.īack in March, I put together my wardrobe for Spring which saw me through most of the Scottish summer too. I don’t have a huge space to store clothes, but equally live in a climate where it really wouldn’t work to wear the same clothes all year round. But I reckon, that whatever works for you is best! Some people protest that when they expand to 30+ items, that they can hardly in considered capsule. In my mind, there’s no hard and fast way that capsule wardrobes have to be put together. However, a quick Google will soon find a whole myriad of ‘rules’ and a vast variety of ‘how to’ guides. The term ‘capsule wardrobe’ is certainly not a new one.
