So, what better place to start this process than with an overflowing wardrobe overhaul? We bet amidst the chaos of clothing, there are pieces you haven't laid your eyes on in ages that can help form the backbone of an amazing autumn winter capsule wardrobe. What is a capsule wardrobe?

It's all about finding those multifunctional pieces that allow you to seamlessly transition from office to off-duty. First up, you'll need an oversized blazer from Forever New in a rich, warm hue like chocolate, rusty brown or classic black. Pair this with a sleek midi skirt from City Chic or tailored pants and a simple tee for an effortlessly polished look. Consider adding a tailored waistcoat and trousers set to your capsule wardrobe as well. This set ensures you're always primed to make a stellar impression! For accessories, you’ll want a rotation of some key shoes like knee-high boots from Spendless Shoes and kitten heels from Novo Shoes. We also recommend opting for gold jewellery to complete your looks and a beanie or scarf for your commute.
