We did some shopping and found these eight items for a work capsule wardrobe that won’t break the bank. They’re perfect for mixing and matching with one another, as well as with items of clothing you already have in your wardrobe.
Item 1: A khaki V-neck T-shirt
Although a T-shirt might be casual, this versatile item can be incorporated into your office wardrobe by pairing it with a pencil skirt, blazer or tailored pants.
Item 2: A black pencil skirt
A black pencil skirt is a perfect addition to any work wardrobe and suits curvy and slim figures. It can easily be paired with any top, blouse or blazer you already own. Wear it with flat pumps, heels or sandals for instant elegance.
Item 3: A blush-pink blouse
A sleeveless Henley blouse in blush-pink is feminine and elegant, yet versatile and comfortable to wear in summer. This top can be teamed with any skirt or tailored pants and worn underneath a blazer on cooler days.
Item 4: A patterned pencil skirt
A patterned pencil skirt is a quirky, colourful addition to a basic office wardrobe. The colours of this pencil skirt will complement the khaki T-shirt and blush-pink blouse in this work capsule wardrobe, and you can also pair it with any neutral tops and blouses you already own.
Item 5: A black blazer
A black blazer is a crucial staple in any workwear wardrobe. And best of all, this one from MRP won’t leave a dent in your wallet! You can wear it with all the items featured here, as well as any other items in your wardrobe.
Item 6: Block-heeled crossover sandals
This pair of versatile sandals is a steal and can be worn with skirts or trousers. A block heel is also much more comfortable than stiletto heels, especially in an office environment.
Item 7: A belted shift dress
You can’t go wrong with a shift dress, especially one with a subtle, sophisticated black-and-white pattern. This black-and-white belted shift dress can be paired with the blazer and sandals above. You can also wear it with flat sandals and a fitted cardigan for a more casual look.
Item 8: Cropped pants
Black pants go well with everything. Pair this with a T-shirt and heels for a simple yet elegant look.
