Five pieces for a capsule wardrobe
A coat, a pair of jeans, a shirt, a jumper and good boots: the base that goes with everything else.
You do not need more clothes, you need clothes that go together. Start with five pieces and build from there.
1. A coat in a strong colour
One coat you love wearing does more than three you tolerate. A cobalt or camel coat lifts every outfit under it.
2. Straight jeans
A light wash and a straight leg work with boots, sneakers and derbies.
3. A shirt you can layer
Oxford or flannel, worn buttoned or open over a t-shirt.
4. A wool jumper
Grey or patterned, it goes over the shirt when the evening gets cold.
5. Boots that last
Goodyear-welted leather boots can be resoled for years.
