Capsule Wardrobe: 7 essential timeless garments that you need

Speaking from my own experience, and I know that from the experience of many others as well, I have a closet full of clothes. There are many clothes that are left forgotten in the closet, almost unworn, and this makes no sense at all...

The main advantage of creating a capsule wardrobe with key pieces is to save time and make getting dressed every morning easier. Only those pieces that match each other and create different looks should remain in the wardrobe by combining the key pieces with the 'extras' that, realistically, we all want to have.

To help you understand a little more about what you should have in a capsule wardrobe, here are the key pieces that, from my point of view, have to be in your wardrobe no matter what. They have to be pieces that you can wear regularly, of good quality and that do not go out of style.

You can see examples of the style and shape of those key pieces that are not available in TOTIS BASICS , on the page I created with some examples on Amazon (these are examples of form and style, I have not checked the quality of each one of them):

1. A trench coat: classic, in black or beige to ensure it matches with as many outfits as possible. If you are a little more daring, you can opt for an elegant dark green that will also be very easy to match. Examples here.
2. A Basic White T-shirt: This is, without a doubt, the best basic of the basics that will serve you for any occasion. It is very important that it is of very good quality, it has to last many times, many washes, many hours of wear and it has to always look like new. We don't want it to have holes, change color or not be pleasant on the skin. Without a doubt, I recommend the TOTIS BASICS T-shirts here.
   
3. A Basic Black T-Shirt: perfect for giving a more serious, more elegant and more formal touch to basic looks that fit any occasion. Without a doubt, I recommend the TOTIS BASICS t-shirts here.
4. A denim garment: Who doesn't have a pair of reliable jeans? With a pair of dark, good quality jeans that fit your figure perfectly - this is very important because otherwise it will totally ruin your look - you will be perfect for any casual or semi-formal occasion, paired with the right thing. Examples here.
5. A Little Black Dress: Here it is important to consider your figure and choose a dress that makes you feel confident, that is plain and classic. With this dress, you can always add extras that you can adapt according to the occasion and it will never go out of style. The really important thing here is that it is of good quality. Examples here.
6. A Minimalist Bag: The bag is not just an accessory, it is the key piece that emphasizes the tone of your entire look. It is important to choose a good quality bag, in black, beige or brown, that matches your style but is also timeless. Examples here.
7. An oversized or classic blazer: this is the ideal garment to wear over a dress or with trousers, whether you are looking for a formal or informal style. It is the garment that you will wear on top and that will be most visible, so make sure it looks elegant and basic at the same time and is, again, of good quality. As for colours, choose between black, navy blue or dark grey. It has to be plain. Examples here.

It is important that, from all these examples, you choose what best suits you. It will not be useful to choose 'key pieces' that you do not feel comfortable and confident in. Take your time and choose well. Creating a capsule wardrobe is not done overnight. Give yourself time to search, try and buy.
