This Winter I’m sharing more capsule wardrobes starting here with the Everlane Winter Capsule Wardrobe, using 10 pieces to create 36 outfits! I love Everlane for a fall capsule wardrobe because they offer high-quality pieces at great price points. You probably have a lot of these staples in your closet already, but if you don’t this guide will help you figure out what you need.
While a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to come all from the same brand, I love setting the stage with just one. Designers, creative directors, and the like create collections that tell a story. And give a great deal of focus to making each collection they launch cohesive. So the story, colors, prints, and silhouettes work seamlessly together and are easy to mix and match across the line. So while you may have a black turtle neck in your wardrobe already, the looks below will give you a good idea about what you may want to add.
Having at least ten items you can mix and match can create endless outfits or in our case, 36 outfits. Even more, if you layer the turtle neck under the other two sweaters in the selection. And if you need more ideas, you can check out additional Capsule Wardrobe Guides for Everlane, H&M, and Mango!
If you add one item to your wardrobe this season it has to be the anorak. I love that this one isn’t as structured, making it perfect for layering. And let’s be serious, I would rather wear a water-resistant trench coat with cozy layers underneath than a giant long puffer coat. And while I’m including this as a winter essential you will get a TON of use out of this in the Spring and Fall as well.
Now, let’s get you the Everlane Winter Capsule wardrobe of your dreams.
Everlane Winter Capsule Wardrobe – 10 Pieces 36 Outfits
1. The Barn Jacket
This coat also comes in black and olive but I love going classic with the brown. The utility jacket had a huge moment this fall and I still can’t get over it. I size up for an oversized fit and pair with a few layers underneath in the colder months.
2. Anorak
Forgive me for not including a puffer this time around. The shape of an anorak is one of those versatile pieces that’s so chic. It’s shape makes it practical for layering and it’s also water-resistant.
3. The Studio Bag
This bag has been in the guide for four years and counting and is one of those key items to have in your closet. I love that it fits a laptop if you want to use it as a work or travel bag. Yet the smooth leather and the structured shape keep it sophisticated.
4. Cocoon Coat in Wool
Technically this is a coat, but I would wear it more like a cardigan, with a long sleeve underneath. Then I would throw either coat shared above over it. The neckline and overall silhouette remind me of Jenni Kayne at a fraction of the price.
5. Off-Duty Long Sleeve Tee
Typically I don’t include something this casual in a capsule wardrobe guide, so it’s about time. Having comfortable clothes that you love are classic pieces you’ll grab for time and time again.
6. Half-Zip Sweater in Luxe Merino
You had me at the “Nancy Meyers’ kitchen sweater.” If effortless, chic New England style cosy knits are all over your Pinterest boards this sweater will be a great addition to your closet. Pair this with black jeans for a casual look or trousers in the evening.
7. Utility Barrel Pant
Everlane always does a great job at making a trendy item more classic. I love their barrel-leg jeans because they give a nice amount of room in the thigh without making you look like a horseshoe. These are a tried and true favorite of mine and you won’t see skinny jeans back in my closet anytime soon. Wear what works for you and your body!
8. Off-Duty Barrel Pant
A goal of mine this year is to add a few pieces of casual clothing that I feel confident in. These high-rise organic cotton sweatpants caught my eye. You can dress them up with flats and the anorak or wear them around the house easily.
9. The Day Mary Jane
I’ve been on the search for mary janes for years. This is one of those items that is trending now, but never actually goes out of style. While these aren’t a typical cold weather shoe, I like to pair them with cozy socks in the winter months to get use out of these all year round.
10. City Boot
For the days that weather doesn’t permit a mary-jane, a boot is a winter wardrobe essential. These have a small block heel that help dress them up. I promise you’ll be glad you have these on colder days.
10 Pieces 36 Outfits – Your Everlane Winter Capsule Wardrobe
If you’re just starting your capsule wardrobe, you don’t have to load up on all ten items. It’s best to add one or two items you can see yourself wearing often. Like boots or a sweater. See how many outfits you can make with items you currently own! This will help you decide what’s missing.
While I select neutral colors, it’s okay to wear color! I have too much color in my wardrobe which is why I went back to the basics. And seeing the looks come together with neutral-toned items makes my heart happy. It’s so easy to add a pop of color or a fun print when you have the right basics in place. So have the right basics!
