capsule wardrobe —
six ultimate timeless musthaves

 

 

to elevate our lives (and wardrobe) we love to highlight six of our favorite fashion essentials that all work well together and compliment each other.

 

 

 

 

1. crispy white shirt

a crisp cotton shirt is a classic in your wardrobe. an oversized boyfriend fit is recommended when you are looking for that effortless chic look. pure and fresh.

 

2. oversized jeans

jeans aren’t just a classic, they’re fundamental, they make our lives run. they can be worn sportively but a wider fit with heeled sandals can be just as dressy as tailored pants.

3. bold blazer

a bold shoulder blazer is a power piece that easily ties an entire outfit together. it is the perfect alternative for a cardigan when you want more spice. we love acne studios oversized fit that you can wear inside during the colder months and outside as a jacket in spring. 

 

4. boxy trench coat

nothing more timeless than a belted trench coat as it originated in 1820. this modern twist from kassl editions with water-repellent rubber fabric is our current favorite. the boxy fit makes your look fashionable and every entrance one to be remembered.

5. masculine tank top

a tank adds a certain dynamic to your outfit. the masculine touch adds a bit of rock and roll and gives the right balance to a feminine outfit. it’s an infinite versatile layering piece that keeps the body warm, in belgium we call it ‘marcelleke’. 

 

 

6. ballet flat

ballet flats are back! the classic silhouette has been relatively off the grid for some time now, with sneakers ruling shoe trends for years. but it seems like suddenly the ballet flat is shedding its boring reputation and gets updated with a bunch of modern shapes. we love the ones from MM6 with anatomic features in soft calf leather. since this rather classic-looking shoe does need some extra punch you preferably style them with wider trousers to keep your cool.
