![]() This particular capsule would be perfect for a woman who works in an environment where even the most formal occasions aren’t very buttoned up, or even for a woman who splits her time between the office and home. This particular combination was envisioned for the sort of “dress for your day” offices many women I have worked with have to dress for, meaning that there’s a range from more formal outfits for important meeting days to more comfortable, casual options. I’ve shown ten outfits, enough for 2 full work weeks for a woman who works 5 days in an office, though in theory dozens more could be made. It’s not a miniature capsule, but it’s far less than almost any woman I’ve ever worked with owns. Additionally, she should not miss out on her more colorful options that can be used as accent colors for a rich and lively effect that won’t be overly muddy or dull on the right woman.įor the pieces, I’ve chosen 2 jackets, 8 blouses, 2 skirts, 3 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 necklaces, and a purse that could be worn without switching from outfit to outfit for a total of 20 pieces. found in stores are in fact too dark to have the best effect on her. ![]() ![]() The main thing to keep in mind is that many versions of her commonly found neutrals such as brown, olive, etc. Women in this season often feel confined to brown and more brown, however there are both alternative neutrals and accent colors available. So here for True Autumn we have army green, saddle, green grey and parchment as neutral colors, paired with tomato red, mustard and coral for accent colors. These were chosen largely because they are some of the easiest colors to find in shops for the particular season, and to some degree also to have a mix of colors that didn’t look too monotone. In creating these capsule examples, I have decided to use 4 neutrals from each palette and 3 colors. So, I urge you to take this not as instruction on what should go in YOUR wardrobe, but simply as a guide to show how True Autumn colors can be used in a real world concept of A wardrobe. However, when women find their season, they can often struggle to imagine how those colors translate into actual clothing at all. This group of items was chosen in the abstract, and a wardrobe without a woman to wear it is, to a certain degree, just a bunch of clothes. (As an aside, if you want to talk more about how to make it all work for you, I’d be happy to talk). And a wardrobe, be it capsule or otherwise, that provides the effortless ease many women seek will necessarily need to factor in all of that. The reason is quite simple - it wasn’t chosen for you, so it won’t have taken your body type, your features, your particular eye hair and skin tone within your season, your personality, your lifestyle, your climate or any number of other factors into consideration. That being said, even if you are a woman who works in a professional office 4-5 days per week and a True Autumn, buying exactly what is shown here will likely not work that way for you. And I’m no different, either when it comes to myself or for my clients. It is, after all, hard (at least for me) to conjure the image of the woman who does not wish to buy fewer, better quality clothes (none of which sit languishing in the back of the closet) while still being effortlessly well dressed with plenty of options for any occasion.
