THE MODERN WOMAN’S TIMELESS WARDROBE

Everyone needs a capsule wardrobe, even those of us who prefer an eclectic chaos of print and colour when they open their closet doors. Whether you’re a wannabe minimalist or simply need to refresh your basics, having a collection of simple staples in your wardrobe can make getting dressed in the morning that little bit easier. Think of a capsule wardrobe as a curation of contemporary classics that you can mix and match to create numerous different looks, rather than a monotonous monochrome wardrobe that you may tire of. It’s up to you whether you strip things back to just the basics or if you pad out your staples with an explosion of printed and colourful statement finds. Look to Instagram for inspiration, where a whole new tribe of women are championing well-crafted contemporary classics over blink-and-you’ll-miss-it trends. Leading this group of modern women, you’ll find Brittany Bathgate and Charlie May who invest in well-cut, often oversized garments that breathe a new lease of life into modern minimalism. So what are these magical wardrobe essentials that will instantly create a wardrobe filled with opportunities? Some may tell you to invest in an LBD and a crisp white shirt, but we’re thinking a little more outside the box. Here are our twelve contemporary wardrobe staples that will help you to achieve a modern timeless style.
