Capsule wardrobe for men

Gauntlet boot, Abercrombie & Fitch Mens Sweater, Converse Chuck Tayor Black, Stamp Cigarette Jeans, Bergamo white shirt, Tonic Scoop T-shirt, Highbury jacket & pants, Boss Orange Mens Chinos, Bloomsbury Denim Jacket, Gingham Check Shirt, Monarch Cufflink, Milry Laptop Bag, Braun Wristwatch, Tie Bar, Christain Dior Aviator

For years women have sworn by ‘capsule wardrobes’ as a means of maximizing tight clothing budgets and minimizing the temptation to indulge in passing fads. The basic principle is that you stick to purchasing a select few timeless items, in two or three neutral colors, that can be paired together and dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

The aim is form and functionality. Here’s a very classic list of items to help you have a range of items so that you can create the right look for any occasions.

Going out to dinner with partner
Going to work – dressy
Going to work – casual
Out with friends
Comfortable around the house
Special occasion
