A Capsule Wardrobe in Ten Pieces
The coat, the knit, the jean — and the seven other pieces that do the heavy lifting.
By Léa Fontaine · Oct 02, 2026
A capsule is not about owning less for the sake of it. It is about owning pieces that talk to each other, so getting dressed becomes a choice rather than a problem.
Our ten: a wool coat, a cashmere crew, a heavyweight tee, a poplin shirt, a tailored blazer, a pleated trouser, a straight jean, a slip dress, a leather shoulder bag and one shoe you can walk in all day.
Build in neutrals first — camel, ecru, noir, stone — then add one colour a season. This autumn, ours is bordeaux.
