While trying to strike a balance between statement and comfort, I came across the capsule wardrobe. This type of purchasing guided me to hunt for items with the most versatility. As a first-time mom, this has made getting ready each morning seamless. If you find your closet is full of statements and you’re looking for staples, this affordable H&M Winter capsule wardrobe will help guide you.
Capsule wardrobes are different for everyone as personal style is just that, personal. Overall I tend to stick with elevated basics that are easy to wear. And instead of opting for trends, I do my best to eye up fresh takes on classic styles. Winter is also my favorite time to layer. I shared some tips on layering and reviews on basics I love recently too.
Now that you have the details, let’s get into your H&M Winter Capsule Wardrobe!
Affordable H&M Winter Capsule Wardrobe
1. Oversized Turtleneck Sweater
I included this in my Fall capsule wardrobe in the camel color. A winter white outfit is perfect when you want to feel elegant without having to put a ton of thought into your look.
2. Rib-knit Half-zip Sweater
This half-zip sweater is giving Varley-inspired at a fraction of the cost. If you’re good about de-pilling your sweaters I have H&M sweaters similar to this one that have lasted me 5+ years.
3. Black and Cream Striped Cardigan
I own and love this cardigan. It’s a heavy knit with beautiful details and gold buttons. The price is competitive to what I’ve seen around, but I love that H&M always has a sale, so if this is steep, definitely wait for a deal on this purchase!
4. Classic Black Sweatshirt
A sweatshirt (sans hood) is such a closet staple that you should have. It’s also one of those items that can use a refresh from time to time, so if your sweatshirt is looking a bit grey, it’s time for a new one.
5. Rib Knit Max Sweater Dress
Loose-fitting and down-to-the-floor is my favorite combo when it comes to dresses.
6. Double Breasted Wool Coat
One item that you’ll use year after year is a coat. You can easily dress this one up or down, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself wearing this every single day when the temperature drops.
7. 90s Jeans
Loose-fitting jeans are trending right now, but before skinny jeans come back there will be a variation of shape and cut. It’s worth finding a pair that isn’t so tight that you like because you’ll get a ton of wear out of these.
8. High Rise Mom Jeans
These hit right at the ankle, which is what I prefer to wear when I’m wearing heeled boots, and when the weather isn’t great.
9. Long Puffer Jacket
When it’s exceptionally cold this is an absolute necessity.
10. Down Puffer Vest
This is the first Winter I’ve also been grabbing for my vest. A big chunky coat isn’t always comfortable when I’m carrying my daughter around, so I find myself going for a vest often. I love that this own is down, so it will keep you extra warm.
11. Patent Looking Tote Bag
When it comes to a capsule wardrobe you need at least one carry-all bag.
12. Bucket Bag
A smaller bag going out with friends and events. This one doubles as a cross-body or a top handle bag.
13. Black Chelsea Boots
All-weather boots that you can run to work, the store just about anywhere.
14. Rhinestone Sling Back Flats
These flats are the perfect balance between statement and staple.
15. Leather Belt
A black leather belt is something that never goes out of style. I never feel complete when I’m not wearing a belt, it’s just a nice extra item that finishes off any look.
