Before You Consider Your Autumn Capsule
So you are looking to build an Autumn Capsule Wardrobe 2021? You have come to the right place. If you have an existing capsule wardrobe or need help creating one, I always say be careful to buy intentionally. Do not add trends because they are trends. Add them if they fit with your wardrobe and will complement it perfectly. This season vibrant colours have made a comeback. Fiery shades that can brighten up the dullest of days.
Autumn Colours For 2021
This autumn capsule wardrobe 2021 comprises fiery reds, burnt oranges, electric blues, deep wineses and golden yellows. Worn together or to brighten up an existing outfit, they definitely depict autumn. The fiery tones are what I consider paint colours, whereas the base tones of sand, grey, olive and midnight black I would consider the canvas colours of this season.
The paint colours of Autumn/fall 2021 are highly saturated in most cases and mainly composed of warm tones. If any of these shades fit with your current wardrobe, for a vibrant outfit I would try the following combinations;
Downtown Brown & Daylily
Ibiza Blue & Daylily
Winery & Daylily
First Blush & Winery
Clear Sky & Winery
Red Alert & Downtown Brown
Green Bee & Winery
Tomato Cream & Clear Sky
Illuminating & Winery
In addition to the paint colours for your autumn capsule wardrobe 2021, canvas colours are used to make up the majority of your outfit if you prefer less colour. If you prefer more muted tones consider these combinations;
Perfectly Pale & Ultimate Gray
After Midnight & Ultimate Gray
After Midnight and Perfectly Pale
Olive Branch & Perfectly Pale
Alternatively. you could combine the paint and canvas colours and use the paint colours either in accessories or a coat/jacket to brighten up an outfit. Try these combinations;

Autumn Fashions For 2021
Fashions for the autumn capsule wardrobe 2021 consist of a variety of styles and fabrics. Trends include;
Sheer fabrics predominantly in black
Body-hugging jumpsuits in crazy patterns
Bejewelled, sequin and crystal dresses and accessories
Dark Indigo denim
Puffa Jackets
Mini skirts
Chunky knits
Long sleeves that come over the hands
Ski Jumpsuits
Before you jump in head first, consider your capsule and how you can make it work best. For example, sheer fabrics are often uncomfortable unless you can afford to purchase silk or chiffon. Body-hugging jumpsuits in crazy patterns will likely date very quickly. And unless you actually go skiing, are you going to wear the ski jumpsuit again? Crystal /sequin dresses are fine if you have a lot of evening parties to go to; otherwise, they could spend most of their time sitting in your wardrobe. As for long sleeves, they are great when it is freezing but could look sloppy.
However, if you need them and they slide in perfectly to your existing wardrobe, chunky knits, mini skirts, puffa jackets, and indigo denim could work for most people. See below for some suggested combinations for your autumn capsule wardrobe 2021.
Shop Your Autumn Capsule Intentionally
Like I have said above, one of the most important things you need to remember is to buy intentionally. Do not get caught up in unnecessary trends for your autumn capsule wardrobe 2021 and fill your closet with items you will never wear, or worse, that will date almost instantly. Be mindful every time you shop. If the options above are similar to what you already have, then great! Stick with that and maybe use combinations of colour or style that you have not tried before.For help on creating a capsule wardrobe for a limited time only you can book a free 20 minute consultation with me.
