The Classic French Capsule Wardrobe

Welcome back! I haven’t been writing as many blog posts recently as I’m working on a little project that I’m trying to wrap up (and hopefully that you’ll really like!) But, the other day I suddenly felt very inspired to create a Classic French Capsule Wardrobe using items I already have in my closet. So, I thought I’d share that with you today!

Classic French style is the basis for a lot of capsule wardrobes, because it’s both stylish yet functional, and classic but contemporary. These are pieces that will never go out of style and that can work for a variety of occasions and seasons. I hope it helps inspire you for your own capsule wardrobe; it also works great as a packing list for any upcoming trips you might have!

I don’t think there’s any ‘definitive’ classic French capsule wardrobe out there (though most include similar items), so this is my spin on it. I’m using pieces I already own, but I’ve linked to similar options where I can if you’re interested. The only thing I don’t own is the dress, but I just didn’t feel like I had a black dress that really suited this capsule well.

The capsule includes 18 items total: four tops, three bottoms, two layers, three shoes, and a handful of accessories which will allow you to create a multitude of looks for everyday, the office, or more formal occasions. Without further ado, let’s get into the capsule!
