CAPSULE WARDROBE FOR WOMEN
Less is more – especially in fashion. A capsule wardrobe consists of a small, carefully selected collection of pieces that can be combined in many ways, creating fresh outfits again and again. This way, you focus on timeless essentials that accompany you for a long time and perfectly match your personal style.
At NEW YORKER, you’ll find exactly these basics – perfect for building your own capsule wardrobe. Here are 7 pieces no closet should be without:
1. Tops – the foundation of your capsule wardrobe
A good top is a true all-rounder. Whether worn solo in summer or as a layering piece in winter – the right cuts and materials make tops one of the most important basics.
- Spaghetti tops: Light and feminine, ideal under open shirts or blazers for a smart business look.
- Tank tops: Simple, sporty, and versatile – go well with jeans, mini skirts, or midi skirts.
- Bandeau and tube tops: Perfect for warm days or as a clean layer under overshirts.
- Crop tops: Make a fashion statement, especially when paired with high-waist pants or skirts.
👉 Tip: Stick to neutral colors like white, black, and gray – this keeps your tops versatile.
2. Bodysuits – for clean silhouettes
Bodysuits are particularly practical because they don’t slip and always provide a neat look. They are perfect for clear silhouettes and work both for everyday wear and special occasions. Paired with high-waist jeans, skirts, or under overshirts, they create a harmonious look. Longer sleeves, cut-out details, or delicate materials add a fashionable touch and bring variety to your capsule wardrobe.
3. T-Shirts – timeless and essential
T-shirts are true all-rounders and belong to the most important basics of any wardrobe. Whether fitted or oversized, plain or with special details – they can be styled in countless ways and match almost any look. Paired with relaxed mom jeans they look casual, with a blazer or elegant skirt instantly more chic. For variety, go for versions in mixed materials, cropped cuts, subtle prints, off-shoulder styles, or V-neck designs that add a feminine touch. A well-chosen t-shirt is a cornerstone of every capsule wardrobe – simple, clean, and endlessly versatile.
4. Jeans – a timeless capsule classic
Jeans are an essential element of every capsule wardrobe. Different washes and cuts provide maximum styling options and allow you to shape your look flexibly.
- Straight-leg: Classic, timeless, and elegant.
- Mom jeans: Casual and modern, perfect for everyday wear
- Bootcut: Elegant and feminine, especially nice with heels or boots.
With various washes – light, dark, or black – you can adjust every outfit. Jeans go with t-shirts, hoodies, blouses, or blazers and form the stable foundation of your capsule wardrobe.
5. Joggers – versatile homewear with a trend factor
Joggers are no longer just cozy homewear. Modern joggers combine maximum comfort with a clean, urban look and are a true wardrobe essential. Whether paired with sneakers and a crop top for relaxed street style vibes or combined with an oversized blazer and statement accessories for an elegant contrast – joggers are versatile. High-waist cuts, wide-leg styles, and timeless neutral tones give every outfit a modern touch, making joggers a key piece that effortlessly transitions from relaxed to ready-to-go.
6. Hoodies – cozy, cool, and versatile
A Hoodie offers comfort and street style vibes at the same time. It pairs well with jeans, leggings, jersey shorts, or skirts for a relaxed, modern look. Neutral colors like beige, gray, or khaki make it versatile and timeless. Those who prefer a slightly more classic style can opt for a sweatshirt – just as comfortable, but cleaner in appearance, and works for both casual and sporty-elegant looks. Sweatshirts are a great alternative for anyone who wants a slightly more polished option while keeping versatility.
7. Longsleeves – versatile all-rounders for every season
Long-sleeve shirts are an underrated basic that accompanies you throughout the year. In spring and autumn, wear them solo; in winter, they are a perfect layering base under sweaters or vests. Simple long sleeves in white, black, or gray go with almost any outfit, while stripes, slight oversized cuts, or small details add a modern twist to your capsule wardrobe. Whether with jeans, mini skirts, or leggings – long-sleeve shirts always fit and bring comfort to your everyday look.
