10 things that will replace a man’s entire closet: the perfect capsule for fall

A capsule is a set of a small number of concise items that go well together. Thanks to this we get a wide range of combinations. If you are now in the process of updating your closet, we suggest that you approach it as rationally as possible. What can be included in a univrsal fall capsule for men?

“When compiling a men’s closet, the main thing is to proceed from the lifestyle: for a successful banker will be one version of the capsule, for a personal trainer – a completely different. Choose basic things made of high-quality, dense fabrics that hold their shape. They can be worn for years. Clothes purchased in the mass-market, such can not boast. Lint, shrinkage, loss of color – all this will not add style, even if it meets all the fashion trends”.

Men’s clothing capsule for fall 2023

1. white shirt

We start with a completely versatile base. A white shirt can be worn under a suit or a blazer. Even with shorts! This is an option in case you decide to fly to a warm place. Important rule: choose a shirt with long sleeves only. After all, it’s not summer outside. If the fall will long please warmth, the sleeves of the shirt can really twist. It always looks stylish.

2. Shirt (denim or chambray)

If everything is more or less clear with denim, not everyone is familiar with chambray. It is a light two-layer fabric of usually light or dark blue color. Because of this, it is often confused with denim. A shirt of this style will fit perfectly into your fall closet. The main thing is that it should not fit you too tightly.

3. monochrome T-shirt

Options with bright prints – this is, of course, good, but combine them with the rest of the closet will not be so easy. Another thing is a neutral base. A gray, white, beige T-shirt without prints and logos will perfectly support any of your fashion endeavors. It can be worn as a base layer under a shirt, sweater or sweatshirt.

4. wool blazer

Another piece that is probably very easy to confuse with another similar piece. Namely, with a blazer. This is a practical, and most importantly, warm option for fall. There is another plus – it will be very convenient to put it on under a coat. And in general, layering is a very sharp trend of the season. Be sure to use it.

5. Sweater or sweatshirt

Another item that no man can do without this fall. For office outings it is better to take a sweatshirt for relaxed everyday life – a sweatshirt (hoodie). They, like T-shirts, can be worn with almost anything. The main thing is to pick the right shade. It should be about the same color scheme as the rest of your clothes.

How to create stylish images?

Julia Logvinova: “Remember the rule: do not mix styles! Capsule is things that go together, they should be from one time, one style. It is possible and even necessary to dilute the style with a base. But you should not mix it. And don’t forget that layering always looks interesting”.

7 simple rules for the perfect capsule

1. Any new piece should be paired with at least three to five things from your closet.
2. Don’t stop at the classic black, white, blue, gray. Dilute the capsule with noble burgundy, emerald, gray.
3. Decide on two to four colors that suit you. Compose a capsule in these shades.
4. Monochrome is always in fashion and looks expensive. Choose a thing of your favorite color and “pull up” everything else to it.
5. Do not forget about accessories. Belts, watches, glasses, bracelets, pendants. They give completeness to the image.
6. Do not be afraid to experiment! Make a capsule in militaristic, safari, sport-chic, avant-garde style… It all depends on your desires and preferences.
