Winter 2022 capsule wardrobe – fashionable styles for the upcoming season!

In our opinion, absolutely not. Warm clothes can go hand in hand with fashion trends, so even when it's freezing outside, we can look incredibly stylish and feel comfortable. How can we do this? With the help of well-chosen clothes, of course. If you're wondering how to put together a winter wardrobe, be sure to read this article, where we'll give you a few tips on what to look out for and what to avoid. We guarantee that with the right clothes, winter won't be a nightmare for any of us. Let's get started!

Which of us would benefit from a capsule wardrobe for winter?

Have you ever heard the term "capsule wardrobe"? Chances are, you have, as it's a concept that has recently skyrocketed in popularity. Whether you've been following the principles of a capsule wardrobe for some time, are just starting to consider it, or perhaps haven't encountered it at all, this article will provide you with some valuable tips that will help you become even more familiar with the concept.

The capsule wardrobe is based on the idea created in the 1970s by Susie Faux, a London boutique owner. According to the idea, a wardrobe should consist of only a few essential pieces that are timeless and can be easily combined to create a variety of outfits. This idea is therefore for those seeking proven solutions that simplify everyday life. With such a complete collection of clothes, you'll forget about long hours spent in front of the closet, contemplating new outfits.

In this case, following the principles of minimalism, where less is more, will certainly yield the desired results. This makes it a solution for busy women who like to look good and take care of their appearance. However, your age, style, or figure don't matter. A capsule wardrobe is a concept that allows each of us to build our dream collection of clothes, based on which we will create unique outfits every day.

Winter capsule wardrobe – what should it include?

What should a winter capsule wardrobe include? It's difficult to give a definitive answer to this question, as it's a very individual matter. Everything should really depend on your personality, preferred style, and the work you do every day, as it often imposes certain standards on us when it comes to appearance. You certainly shouldn't blindly follow advice available online, as in many cases you might end up with clothes that don't suit you at all and end up in the depths of your closet. And that's not the point.

This doesn't change the fact that the internet can be a source of valuable tips and inspiration, and as long as we use reliable websites, we certainly won't regret it. To cut a long story short, let's take a moment to consider the essentials of a winter capsule wardrobe. The first things that come to mind are a warm sweater, a comfortable jacket, and a fashionable coat. Beyond such obvious items, it's also worth considering less clichéd options. A warm dress, for example, is an interesting option; it can help you create many surprising looks and make you feel incredibly feminine even in winter. And while it's not the first piece that comes to mind when thinking about winter styling, it's certainly worth considering.

What else shouldn't we forget? Warm socks, a scarf, a hat, gloves, and thick trousers are a must-have. Besides sweaters, trendy turtleneck sweaters are also a great choice, as they not only hug our bodies beautifully, ensuring a comfortable temperature, but also look great. As mentioned, everything is individual and depends on what clothes you feel comfortable in. There's no point in buying things that are currently trendy if you're not entirely sure about them, as there's a significant risk you'll never wear them. A capsule wardrobe should consist solely of favorite pieces that you'll love to wear even after some time.

Capsule wardrobe for a dark winter – what to remember when assembling it?

Winter is generally associated with unpleasant weather. And while there are sunny days when the temperature isn't as oppressive, they can usually be counted on the fingers of one hand. While our motivation and desire to come up with new, interesting outfits increase on such days, other days aren't as rosy. After all, how can we dress appropriately and fashionably when it's sleet, snow, or windy outside? Unfortunately, these are precisely the weather phenomena we usually encounter at this time of year. But there's no point in giving up. We can come up with something in any situation, and while it may require some effort, the results will certainly be worth it. So, getting to the point, we should ask ourselves: what should we keep in mind when assembling a winter wardrobe?

First and foremost, pay attention to the materials. This is a key consideration when choosing winter clothing. Even if your chosen sweater appears thick, but is composed solely or largely of acrylic or polyester, it's best to immediately return it to the store shelf. Such materials won't provide warmth and can also irritate your skin, which already has to contend with harsh winter conditions. So, which materials should you choose? Besides the obvious, like wool, consider clothing made from cashmere, cotton, linen, or viscose. Although some of these fabrics are primarily associated with summer, they'll also perform well in winter, as they conduct heat well, ensuring comfort even in unfavorable weather conditions.

Another consideration is choosing clothes based on color. It's worth choosing clothes in similar tones, which will make it easier to create any style. Sticking to classic colors is always a good idea because they're timeless. Choosing slightly darker shades, especially pants, can be a good idea, especially in case you get dirty in the winter slush. However, there's nothing stopping you from considering lighter colors to liven up this dreary time of year. In this regard, we shouldn't limit ourselves and choose what best suits our personality.

Bombshe's Winter 2022 Capsule Wardrobe

Below, we'll present a few suggestions for outfits you can successfully wear in winter. These styles will keep you comfortable throughout the day and make you feel incredibly feminine and stylish. Of course, remember that if you're not a fan of dresses, for example, there's no point in trying to force yourself to wear them. Simply choose what suits your style and personality.

Styling #1

The star of this outfit is a fitted, striped dress. Depending on the color, it's made of 95% or 97% cotton. Thanks to a small amount of elastane, it fits perfectly and ensures comfort and freedom throughout the day. There are four colors to choose from: black, beige, bottle green, and vermilion. It's worth pairing it with a long wool cardigan, which will keep you incredibly warm even on frosty days. Boots or ankle boots are a great addition to this look. As for outerwear, an oversized wool coat, for example, will work well.

Styling #2

The second option is very basic, featuring versatile pieces that can be easily combined with other pieces in your wardrobe. The look includes classic wool trousers for thermal comfort and a simple black Supima cotton longsleeve with a V-neck. Pair the whole look with a classic single-breasted wool blazer. To add a touch of character, you can layer an oversized wool plaid coat. This style, made primarily of wool, will keep you warm even in very low temperatures.

Styling #3

The next outfit is a perfect everyday look. It's a tried-and-true solution based on classic clothing, yet it looks incredibly stylish. The foundation is organic cotton jeans, beloved by many women for their beautifully sculpting silhouette. Pair them with a white Supima cotton longsleeve. This classic combination works perfectly with a wool shirt jacket, which not only keeps you warm but also adds a unique touch to the outfit. Ankle boots or hiking boots will work well with this look. Of course, you can also layer your favorite jacket or coat over it.

Styling #4

This look is perfect for both everyday wear and various occasions. The foundation is a wool skirt with a slit. Wool plays a key role here, as it has thermoregulatory properties, keeping you warm while allowing your skin to breathe. It's a good idea to pair the skirt with a bamboo turtleneck and complete the look with a single-breasted wool jacket. This combination will go well with a dressing gown-style coat and tall boots.

Styling #5

This final suggestion is based on pieces that have already appeared in previous roundups, because, as we've already mentioned, the advantage of a capsule wardrobe is that you can freely mix and match individual pieces, creating unique and one-of-a-kind outfits. Here, too, we'll use denim trousers, which we'll pair with a beautiful cable-knit wool sweater. On really frosty days, you can wear a Supima cotton longsleeve under the sweater for an extra layer. A classic gray wool coat will complete the look.

As you can see, winter doesn't have to be as scary as it's made out to be. Winter outfits can also be classy and unique, as long as they're well-thought-out. With a properly assembled capsule wardrobe, this task will be even easier, as you'll be able to freely combine all the pieces within it. That's why the winter capsule wardrobe has gained such widespread recognition and is constantly growing in popularity. We hope this article has inspired you to try creating unique winter outfits and perhaps add some new, essential pieces to your wardrobe.

By following the tips mentioned above, you'll surely create a unique wardrobe that will make everyday life easier. At Bombshe, we want to show you that adhering to the principles of ethical and responsible fashion can also be fun.
