This winter capsule wardrobe represents the essential pieces I consider timeless and universally wearable. But remember — a capsule wardrobe is never one-size-fits-all. Yours may look different depending on your lifestyle, work environment, colour palette, and the personal style you feel most confident in.

After all, if we all dressed the same, fashion would lose its magic. Your wardrobe should reflect you — your taste, your silhouette, your creativity. Let this guide inspire you, and then shape it into a winter capsule that truly feels like your own.
