Autumn Capsule Wardrobe 2021

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;

Ultimate Gray – Winery

Ultimate Gray – Tomato Cream

Ultimate Gray – Daylily

Ultimate Gray – Red Alert

Ultimate Gray – First Blush

Perfectly Pale – First Blush

Perfectly Pale – Downtown Brown

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.

Capsule Closet Success testimonials

'When you join the membership it isn't generic it is tailored to your needs. Michelle considers each individual person and provides advice and guidance based on their needs. I have learnt so much since I joined I feel like I could sit an exam on it now! Honestly, without a doubt if you feel like you are lost with what to wear, you don't know what suits your body shape or your shape has changed, you've lost confidence, you're starting a new job, or you want to minimise your wardrobe, Michelle's membership is without a doubt for you. You can not get better for the price, I have looked!'

I joined Michelle's facebook "capsule wardrobe challenge" in June 2020. I loved her approach of starting off with a concept of what colours and styles you were attracted to, followed by what your lifestyle required functionally. It helped me assess my existing wardrobe with a checklist in mind instead of feeling overwhelmed and indecisive. I found the video format and weekly check-ins easy to follow and explained each stage of building a capsule well. She has been quick to answer any queries I have and to offer her professional stylist's opinion with a gentle manner. I am most grateful for Michelle's overarching aim to help her clients "find their happy place". This membership is about being comfortable in your own skin, not about being super fashionable, and that is exactly what I needed. Thank you for helping me find my confidence again. 😊

There is no doubt in my mind that having a personal stylist online is worth the investment. In fact, at the end of the day I will spend considerably less while looking and feeling so much better. Why? Because I will never again mindlessly spend and spend and spend on clothes that just aren’t right for me and that don’t make me happy. I think we all dream of that wardrobe that makes us happy and confident, but it is so easy to just give up and just wear something. I know I did. And that is just plain crazy because I love clothes! I have always been attracted to styles that I lacked the confidence to try out. Now, with the help and guidance of Michelle, I can finally explore those styles with confidence knowing that whenever I run an item by Michelle, she will give me her honest feedback on whether or not it will fit with my colors and with how I want to look and feel. In short: Michelle’s advice really is priceless. I feel an A-lister in the garments I have purchased since becoming a member! Pssst: One secret, you don’t have to become a minimalist if you don’t want to. Michelle is not about legalistic minalism, she is all about you finding out what works for you and that – along with her very deep knowledge of style – is why I think her membership works for me when in the past nothing else has.
