I don't see a lot of IRL pictures posted, but here's mine! I enjoyed making this capsule wardrobe for a long summer visit. I might buy a few dresses for my birthday, too. Anyone else love using colors as the foundation instead of neutrals?

Here's the contents, from left to right and top to bottom:

  • knit shrug (cream), hoodie (green), popover (striped), chore jacket (Totoro)
  • four camisoles (cream, green, blue) and one T-shirt (Irises)
  • five pairs of shorts (blue, tan, blue, green)
  • one bikini (blue)
  • assorted socks, assorted bras, assorted underwear
  • three dresses and one purse

Questions Women's everyday sneaker recommendation pls!

20 Upvotes

I'm trying not to own multiple things that serve the same/similar purpose. I'm looking to buy a new pair of everyday sneakers as my sambas are getting holes after 2 years.

Here are some of my considerations

  1. Goes well with most of casual outfits -- I wear my ballet flats with anything dressier so it doesn't have to be super pretty, but I'd avoid something really chunky or athletic. A little bit of sporty look is fine but hopefully something that doens't look like gym shoes. I have a pretty average female college student's style and sambas have been serving me pretty well in terms of looks. As for color I'd go for either white or white+gray/beige
  2. Water resistant -- Obviously I don't expect that much from sneakers, but something that can hold up a bit of rain would be great. What annoys me the most now is that because I got little holes in my shoes' sole, my socks get immediately wet when there's any amount of rain. Same with my workout shoes, these get wet from the toes even with the tiniest amount of moist on the ground. So for this pair I'd love to buy shoes that is a bit more water resistant. I wear blundstones all throughout fall-spring tho so snow doesn't matter.
  3. Good for walking -- I easily walk 15k steps per day while on my campus. Tbh I don't feel any pain even if I walk a lot in my sambas despite them having no cushion, but idk if that's just because I'm still young and I'm thinking it'll be better to start thinking about my health sooner rather than later.

I think any of those 'walking shoes for traveling in Europe' recs would also fit what I'm looking for.

Right now the brands I'm considering are Cloud On, New Balance, and Adidas (how are campus 00s?) but pls I'm open to any recs!!

Neutral Capsule Is Palome a good UK brand for polished everyday clothes?

14 Upvotes

I came across Palome while looking for UK friendly brands with more polished everyday pieces. I like the idea of clothes that work for lunch, work, travel or dinner without feeling too formal or too trend led.I’m curious about sizing, fabric quality and whether the clothes feel as good in person as they look online. Anyone ordered from them recently?

Masculine Capsule My wardrobe after a year of creating a classic capsule wardrobe.

9 Upvotes

Over the past year, I've been gradually building a classic wardrobe. The goal wasn't to have a lot of clothes, but to have pieces that go well together.

In most of my looks, I use neutral colors, loafers, Chelsea boots, dress pants, polos, knitwear, and sports jackets.

I recently organized my digital wardrobe to better see what I actually own and avoid buying duplicates.

If you could add only one thing to this wardrobe, what would it be?

How many work outfits would I need and how do I not get the ick wearing them outside work?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am new to the sub but I notice I’ve been getting the ick with my work outfits and am wanting to build a capsule wardrobe for work but also one for my normal life but wanted to start with work outfits

I work from home 3x a week and was wondering how many outfits would you recommend buying? I was thinking 6 to cover 2 weeks of work but I worry I’ll get the ick due to wearing the same thing.

I currently feel super icked out by my work outfits as I wear the same stuff all the time.

How do you avoid the ick/boredom with outfits as a fashion lover and how many outfits would you recommend for 3x a week in office?
