Essential pieces for any men’s capsule wardrobe

The concept of a capsule wardrobe is popular for a reason. With the rising cost of living, plus our environmental awareness, we’re leaning into clothing that’ll last for seasons to come, rather than trend pieces.
This is easier for most women than men, given they have fewer wardrobe options. However, women shouldn’t have all the fun of building a capsule wardrobe. There are great pieces for men who want to upgrade their style or for those who prefer their tried and true work and weekend uniforms.
Below, we’ve picked out some of our favourite options for a trans-seasonal capsule wardrobe, so take a look and get building.
