So you are looking to build a capsule wardrobe for winter 2021? You will get all the help you need here. However, before you start, make sure you are careful and intentional about what you buy. Whether you want to create a capsule wardrobe from scratch or update an existing one, stop before you consider any purchase and ask yourself if the item fits with your current capsule. No bargain is a bargain if you never wear it!
This winter, most of the trending colours are saturated and bright in tone. Think fiery reds, bright pinks, burnt oranges, sunshine yellows and electric blues. These paint tones work alongside canvas colours such as olive, midnight black, grey and sand. Paint colours tend to be brighter, richer hues, whereas canvas colours are the neutral background shades that work alongside them.
The paint colours of winter 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 look, you could consider the following combinations
Winery & Daylily
Clear Sky & Winery
First Blush & Winery
Red Alert & Downtown Brown
Green Bee & Winery
Ibiza Blue & Daylily
Tomato Cream & Clear Sky
Illuminating & Winer
Downtown Brown & Daylily
Alongside the paint colours for your capsule wardrobe for winter 2021, canvas colours can make up most of your outfit if you prefer softer shades. If you prefer more neutral tones of the canvas palette, consider these combinations;
Olive Branch & Perfectly Pale
Perfectly Pale & Ultimate Gray
After Midnight and Perfectly Pale
After Midnight & Ultimate Gray
If you prefer neutral shades with a splash of colour, 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;
Olive Branch – Daylily
Olive Branch – Clear Sky
Olive Branch – Downtown Brown
Olive Branch – Red Alert
Olive Branch – Iluminating

Fashions for a capsule wardrobe for winter 2021 consist of a variety of styles and fabrics. Trends include;
Fitted jumpsuits in abstract patterns
Black sheer fabrics
Dark Indigo denim
Puffa Jackets
Mini skirts in plaid
Chunky knitwear
Sequin and crystal dresses and accessories
Extra long sleeves
Bright Ski suits
Before you head to the shops to grab a trending garment this winter consider how much you will wear it. Also, sheer fabrics are often uncomfortable unless you can afford to purchase silk or chiffon. Fitted jumpsuits in abstract patterns will likely date very quickly and sit in your wardrobe for years unworn. And unless you go skiing, are you going to wear the ski suit again? Crystal /sequin dresses are fabulous if you have a lot of evening parties to go to; otherwise, they could spend most of their time wasting money in your wardrobe. As for very long sleeves, they are great when it is freezing but could look sloppy if they cover your hands.
However, if you think they work for you and your wardrobe then go for it. Your capsule is unique to you and you only. Alternatively, chunky knits, mini skirts, puffa jackets, and indigo denim could work for most people. Below are some suggested combinations for your capsule wardrobe for winter 2021. The outfits start from high end down to highstreet.
It is really important to think about everything you add to your capsule wardrobe for winter 2021, if you add anything at all! Just because it is a new season it does not mean that you have to buy from it if you do not need anything. Think about how each item will enhance what you already own instead of buying sometihng on a whim and then trying to make it fit in.
