Question Progress capsule wardrobe, what do you think?

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago, I posted a message on this subreddit asking for advice on building a capsule wardrobe. Thanks to all your helpful responses, I identified my colors and reviewed my current wardrobe to decide what to keep.

I’ve discovered I’m a “deep Autumn” in terms of colors and chose the following palette:

  • Dark neutrals: Black/espresso and navy
  • Light neutrals: Olive and cream
  • Accent colors: Blue, brown, and cinnamon

I created an overview of the first draft for my capsule wardrobe, which is meant to work for all seasons. Pieces with a red "x" indicate items I don’t yet own (see link for image).

While I’m happy with the initial setup, I can’t help but feel it looks a bit dark overall. Do you think the color balance works, or should I add more lighter or brighter pieces?

As for the style, I’m still figuring out what works best for me. I’m leaning towards something semi-professional with minimalist and casual influences, but I’d love your input on that too.

Thank you for your advice—I really appreciate it!

It's hard to say without seeing them on you

Fit is everything

Don't worry so much about the buzzwords, find things you like wearing

With the amount you have already focus on items that you can see working with what you already have

Agree with the other comment, pictures of clothes don't mean much on their own. How you wear them, how they fit, and how they do or don't align with your personal style are so important
