Building an autumn capsule wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe is simply a small group of pieces that all work together. For autumn, we like to start with five: a well-cut coat, a soft knit, a crisp shirt, a pair of easy trousers and comfortable footwear.

1. The coat

Choose a length and weight you will reach for daily. Neutral shades such as camel, navy and charcoal go with almost everything.

2. The knit

A crew neck or cardigan in a mid-weight yarn layers well under a coat or over a shirt.

3. The shirt

A shirt in a classic cut can be worn open over a tee, buttoned under a knit, or on its own.

4. The trousers

Look for a fit that is comfortable sitting and walking – easy trousers or straight jeans are a good place to start.

5. The footwear

A pair of boots or clean trainers completes the set and works for most days.
