Although we all wished for summer to last forever, it’s time to consider our autumn capsule wardrobe. In recent years, basic wardrobe staples have taken center stage in many outfits, thanks to the ongoing quiet luxury trend. A pair of tailored trousers is just as sought after as the latest designer handbag, and a perfect white T-shirt can garner just as many compliments as a more fashion-forward outfit. With the versatility of a capsule wardrobe, the foundational pieces are essential for easily creating chic looks throughout the season and beyond.
