This post is all about Capsule Wardrobe 2022 – 10 Must-Have Pieces Everyone Should Own.
CAPSULE WARDROBE 2022
1- JEANS
Everyone can understand why a pair of jeans is an extremely necessary item to have in a wardrobe. We all have at least a pair in our closet. That is guaranteed. However, who has a flattering and classic-looking pair of jeans? We can say from experience that most people don’t have it.
When choosing the perfect jeans pair, you should take two things into consideration- fit/style and wash.
We did a whole post about denim with all you need to know about every style of jeans. Definitely check it out – THE ULTIMATE DENIM GUIDE.
Our favorite style is by far the ’90s Full-Length style from Zara! It suits absolutely everyone. Plus gives you that elongating and top model legs look we all want.
When it comes to the wash, you should always opt for a natural one. Ideally, you should have a mid-light and a black pair for more outfit options.
2- BLAZER
Blazers are a perfect basic to have in your closet. They will make your outfit instantly more stylish and are one of the most versatile pieces you can own.
For the past two years, blazers have been super on-trend not only in fall and winter but also during spring and even summer.
Not only do they make the perfect layering piece which is ideal for transitioning into fall and winter. But they also instantly elevate an outfit.
For example, by adding a blazer, you can transform a simple t-shirt and jeans look. Don’t believe us? Check out this blazer styling guide and master the blazer trend – How to Style Blazers in 8 Different Ways. You will not regret that!
3- TIMELESS WHITE T-SHIRT
A basic top/ t-shirt is also a great wardrobe essential. Not only does it multiply your outfit options, but it will also be fantastic for layering during the colder months.
These items usually are pretty affordable. However, when buying this style of basics, you should really pay attention to the quality of the items. Definitely opt for Zara’s basics. They have amazing quality and price (here are some of our favorites – 1 & 2).
If you want to initiate your basic top collection, start by buying white ones as well as black ones. Don’t overwhelm yourself with all the colors. These two colors are more than enough and definitely the ones you will use more.
4- TRENCH COAT
A trench coat is such a timeless piece. It is a type of item that not only looks super stylish but is also very practical.
Burberry has the iconic trench that we all adore! However, don’t be discouraged if you cannot buy the Burberry one. There are so much more alternatives in the high street! We love Zara’s and Mango’s designs, they have amazing quality and are a good fit.
Once again, choose carefully and pay attention to the fabrics. Don’t buy a trench that has a flimsy material. It will look cheap. Opt for a more robust fabric that will actually have a structure.
5- LEATHER JACKET
A leather jacket is another wardrobe must-have. Definitely more suited for colder months, but still an amazing piece everyone should own.
This is an item that you probably already have in your wardrobe. If that is the case, you must bring it back and use it. It is such a versatile piece that it would be a shame not to wear.
On the other hand, if you don’t own a black leather jacket, definitely invest in one. We love this one from Zara. It is super well-made and has a great price. 10/10 is a great option.
6- WHITE CRISP SHIRT
A crisp white shirt is also a must-have! This item is such a timeless and versatile piece. You absolutely need to have it!
If you are an avid reader of our magazine, you would know that we are massive fans of timeless and classy white shirts. We’ve made a post about how to style an oversized shirt, where we detail how to perfectly tie your shirt and the various ways of styling it.
This is an item that is mandatory in everyone’s wardrobe. Definitely get one ASAP if you haven’t already. We guarantee you that you will not regret it.

7- LOAFERS
Another great wardrobe essential that everyone should own is a pair of loafers. Preferably a black pair. These shoes will instantly elevate any outfit while multiplying your outfit combinations.
If you don’t own a pair of loafers, this is the time to do it since every brand is releasing a lot of designs in this collection. Loafers are a huge trend at the moment, making it the perfect opportunity to experiment with them and pick the perfect pair at a good price.
STYLING TIP- Opt for a classic pair without gold details. Those look good now, but chances are they will look outdated a few years from now.
8- MINI UGGS
We know that Uggs are a trendy item. However, sometimes doesn’t hurt to have some trendy items in our capsule wardrobe. Especially if those trends are practical, neutral, and comfortable, and guess what? Uggs are exactly that!
We especially love the Classic Ultra Mini style, it is by far the absolute best one. Not to mention that it is the most versatile and, in our opinion, the most stylish. Plus, it is the trendiest right now!
If you are still on the defense when it comes to buying as well as styling the iconic UGGs we recommend you to read this article, you will not regret it- How to Style Mini Ugg Boots Like a Stylist.
9- OVER THE KNEE BOOTS
Over-the-knee boots are definitely a colder weather type of shoe. However, they need to have their space in your wardrobe. We have talked about this type of boots in many of our articles and swear by them.
If you want to expand your outfit combinations during the fall and winter months, you must have a pair of over-the-knee boots. They enable you to wear shorts, skirts, and dresses and remain warm!
Our favorite style of tall boots is definitely those really high-quality and structured leather boots, just like these ones from Zara. These are perfect and will last you a lifetime! Definitely, a piece you should invest in.
10- SLEEK SNEAKERS
Last but not least, we had to include a classic and casual footwear item in this capsule wardrobe fashion checklist. A timeless and simple pair of sneakers is such a must-have.
This is the best way to dress down any outfit instantly. When you add a pair of sneakers like these ones, you automatically make your outfit more casual and comfy.
We prefer a neutral pair of sneakers since they are the most wearable and versatile. However, choose whatever pair you like just make sure they are sleek and comfortable.
