For some travelers, packing light equates to a vacation of repeated outfits. Luckily, this doesn’t have to be true. By focusing on versatility, you can mix and match items to create countless outfits from just a few items. Keep reading to discover versatile packing at its finest and the importance of a travel capsule wardrobe.

The Travel Capsule Wardrobe

Written By: Maggie Fogg

As avid travelers, we firmly believe in packing light (as light as possible, in fact). Flying with just a carry-on and packing cubes can save tons of time and energy – and help you side-step some major headaches, including lost baggage and heavy suitcases you have to drag up a flight of stairs.

But when you only have a small suitcase, and as a result – only a few pieces to work with – figuring out what to pack and how to plan outfits can be tricky.

How do you keep your wardrobe incredibly limited without surrendering your style? How do you pack only a few key items, while maintaining versatility in your outfits?

Working from a capsule wardrobe is your best bet. Sticking with basic separates in neutral colors goes a long way for creating a variety of outfits with limited items.

If you are packing for a combination of business and pleasure in the same trip, it becomes all the more important to choose well-made styles that can be dressed up or dressed down with a few accessories.

How do you build a tight wardrobe without adding too many pieces? How do you keep your suitcase lean without choosing only safe, boring and basic options – and steering clear of going too far the other way, packing stylish pieces that you’ll only ever end up wearing once?

Let’s look at a few essential tips…

And don’t worry. A capsule wardrobe doesn’t need to be made of  dull all-black outfits . You can use the guidelines below to create a versatile travel wardrobe featuring a variety of clothing styles ( this  is how to mix and match prints).

Read this to learn how to pack light stylishly  for any destination!

The answer is to follow one simple rule – the rule of 3. This is more than wearing every piece you pack at least 3 times. Pack all items with the intention of wearing each item in a variety of outfits that work in at least three different occasion types.

This could be dressy, professional, and casual. Or it could be sexy, relaxed, and polished. It all depends on your lifestyle and the nature of your trip. When you consider using each piece with this kind of versatility, you’ll be able to build a stylish capsule wardrobe for any trip, and have tens of great outfits on-hand for any occasion.

Choose from one of eight  travel capsule wardrobes to help you plan for your trip!

OUTFIT 1: Necklace | Tank Top | Jeans | Bag | Sandals   OUTFIT 2: Hat | Necklace  |  Shorts | Sandals   OUTFIT 3: Blazer | Necklace | Pouch  | Skirt | Flats

The Travel Capsule Wardrobe: One Piece, 3 Ways

Take, for example, a pretty tank top like the wine-colored one shown above. It can be paired with a relaxed skirt and a blazer for a casual business event.

However, just as easily, it can be dressed up for an evening out on the town with a slim pair of jeans and a cool rocker-inspired choker and cross-body bag .

And third, the tank looks just as stylish with a beach babe pair of cut-off denim shorts, boho-inspired travel sandals and a straw hat – on point for a summer musical festival.

Take a look at this post to see how you can make 3 weeks worth of outfits with just eight pieces of clothing!

OUTFIT 1:   Earrings | Bag | Blouse | Sunglasses | Joggers | Flats   OUTFIT 2: Tank | Earrings | Lipstick | Bag | B o o t s OUTFIT 3:   Shirt | Tank | Necklace | Backpack | Shoes

The Travel Capsule Wardrobe: Guidelines for 3 Uses

Now that you know how to use one piece in three different ways, follow these guidelines to make the most of your outfits.

Be Meticulous With Fit

Stick to flattering, figure-skimming silhouettes. Avoid anything with too tight of a fit, as it won’t appear relaxed or chic. Likewise, avoid anything with a loose fit since it can read as sloppy and unpolished. Don’t be afraid to tailor your clothing, especially when it’s something you absolutely love!

Stick to Classic Styles With a Hint of Trend

Choose fairly neutral colors and simple cuts and patterns for versatility and longevity, but look for unique twists that add visual interest. This could be lace detail, embroidery, funky zippers – anything that expresses your personality.

File Into 3 Occasion Buckets

When you’re shopping for new items or pulling items from your closet to pack, mentally file each item into its occasion bucket. Is it sexy, relaxed, and girly? Or is it business-casual, classic, and refined? Hint: this rule also works really well outside of travel packing for your everyday wardrobe, too.

Don’t Forget to Map Your Outfits

Particularly with separates, make sure you can pair each item with several other items you’ve packed. It doesn’t help you if you can wear a cute embroidered blouse to the museum, a nice dinner, and on the plane but haven’t any bottoms you can pair with the top.

Have Fun With Accessories

Follow the same rule of 3 with accessories, including bags, shoes, jackets, and jewelry. Shop for high-quality, versatile pieces that are fairly classic in design but have a fun flair. For shoes, all you need are three pairs: one for sightseeing, one for a special activity, and a bonus pair.

These are the most cute and comfortable shoes for travel !

creating-a-travel-capsule-wardrobe

OUTFIT 1: Blazer | Dress | Necklace | Crossbody | Flats   OUTFIT 2: Hat | Sunglasses | Handbag |  Shoes   OUTFIT 3: Jacket | Earrings | Lipstick | Pouch |  Sandals

For example, this black and white striped dress is modern and airy with a slightly French nod. It can be dressed up for a summer night with bold earrings and a trendy belt. It also pairs well with polished accessories – like a cream blazer and ballet flats – for a cultural outing. Or, pair the dress with white sneakers , a summer hat, and a super-cute canvas tote for a breezy look to wear when visiting a local farmers market.

Ultimately, the accessories help give this dress a different feel for each occasion, but the guidelines above are used for each outfit. Each of the accessories are basic in their feel, but they have a trendy or stylish twist and can be paired with other outfits for other occasions.

With this simple rule, you can streamline your travel packing, change the way you look at your everyday wardrobe, and transform how you shop in the future.

How to pack for a business trip in 2022.

packing for a business trip

  • March 19, 2022
  • Business Travel , Packing Tips

In this post, I’m sharing my best tips for packing for a business trip, whether that’s attending or presenting at a conference , visiting the headquarters of your company , or just an off-site meetup with colleagues . I’ve been there and done them all, multiple times. And I have opinions. So now that we’re seeing business travel pick up a bit post-pandemic , I want to share my best advice for packing a professional and functional capsule wardrobe , no matter what your business trip has in store.

This post is a bit longer because I wanted to make sure I covered multiple scenarios and seasons in my tips and tricks.  

What does dressing professionally mean to you?

My first piece of advice is to really unpack (pun intended) what workwear means to you and what the phrase “dressing professionally” inspires. I believe that as a society, we’re way past the strict, corporate, and at times sexist and racist norms for traditional business attire. 

In fact, the pandemic has pushed us even closer to reaching a talent-over-appearances workplace dynamic. More and more traditional industries are adopting flexible, modern workplace practices that include a change in wardrobe expectations. 

That being said, I would be naive if I said that how you dress in a business context doesn’t matter. But how it matters is a wide spectrum, and what you want your clothes to say about you is also a personal decision. 

Let me give a few examples. If you’re a construction worksite supervisor, you need to dress for that job. Show up without steel toe boots and your hardhat, not only do you look underprepared and lose credibility, but you likely won’t even be allowed on the construction site. 

You can take that example and apply it to any industry. I can give all the business casual advice until I’m blue in the face, but you know your industry best. If your profession calls for certain uniforms, follow that advice first. 

Best brands for travel-friendly business clothes

  • Universal Standard
  • Club Monaco
  • Kit and Ace

Using your clothing as a tool

Secondly, using your work outfits to send a message can feel like advice from the 80s, when power suits for women were a way to assert your place in a male dominated workplace. But to this day, women are picked apart for their choices . Too feminine, not feminine enough, too sexy, too old lady. It seems we can’t win. 

So, my advice here is not to get too wrapped up in appearances, but to think about your unique business context and to use your outfit like a tool. Are you the creative director at your company? What do you want your clothes to say about your taste and personal creative aesthetic? If there are a few people at work who look like you, how can you use your clothes to stand out in an important meeting? But more important than anything, what gives you confidence? For some people, it’s a look that’s more subdued but sharp, and for others, it might be a louder outfit . Whatever gives you confidence, lean into that.

Office fashion in different cultures

Third, a lot of the fashion advice I’m going to give in this video is specific to a western context. If you’re going to Japan, or the United Arab Emirates on a business trip, for example, do look up their business norms and expectations from someone who is more experienced.

What you need to know to pack for a business trip

Alright, if you came here for more specific advice, here we are.  As with any trip, my first step is to look at weather, activities, vibe, and trip length. 

Planning around the weather

Weather is fairly easy to plan for if you check in advance. The important factor is always how much of this weather will I be exposed to. If you’re flying in, taking a cab to the hotel, and staying in a convention centre the whole time, you can get away with almost anything. But if your business trip involves a team building scavenger hunt outside, you’ll want to know that kind of thing in advance. So, make sure as you check weather forecasts, you have a good handle on what your itinerary will include. 

Packing for your work trip activities

In a business context, packing for summer weather can be tricky. If you’ll be spending most of your time indoors, air conditioner can impact your choice of clothes. When I travel to the US, I’m always shocked at how hot it is outside and how cold it is inside . Be warned. 

Knowing how formally to dress when travelling for work

For vibe, it’s just a matter of knowing how casual or formal you’re expected to dress . This comes down to your individual role and industry and the purpose of your trip. I work in tech, so it’s very casual. That being said, I still have important meetings when I go on business trips, so I try to present myself and the company well. There’s also often a sightseeing activity, so I bring at least one pair of comfortable shoes . 

Adjusting your packing for trip length

The reason why I mention trip length as a factor is that length really impacts whether or not I need to check a bag , how many cosmetics to bring and I’ll adjust my packing strategy to have more outfit combinations , which can mean an extra pair of shoes, too.

The best footwear for business travel

Ok, let’s move on to the footwear you’ll need for a business trip. 

I’m not the biggest wearer of heels, so if I’m true to myself, I would recommend a block or wedge heel or something comfortable like a bootie if you do want to wear heels. If you like dresses and tights in the fall and winter, I’d recommend a tall boot for added warmth. The only thing is you’ll likely have to wear the on travel days because packing tall boots in your carry on without crushing them is not a space safer! 

Boots in general are such a chic and comfortable option . On my last two business trips, I packed one pair of flat boots, and those were my only shoes for the whole trip. They were chic enough for the boardrooms but comfortable enough for sightseeing.

Brogues and derbys

If you’re looking for a non-boot option that’s comfortable but gives you a little bit of heigh, I find platform brogues to be a great choice. I’ve had a few pairs over the years, of varying heights, that always worked really well with my workwear outfits. 

For spring and summer, other than brogues, I really like loafers which comes in all sorts of different styles from trendy to classic and streamlines. 

I also recommend a smart flat. Pointed toe or almond toe flats can feel a little dressier than round toe, but to me, what sets a business flat apart from a casual one is the condition it’s in. When I was a teenager, I’d go through so many $15 pairs of flats and just wear them into the ground. So, if you’re packing flats, pick ones that are in good shape. That doesn’t mean they have to be rigid and uncomfortable. There are lots of brands making knit flats, or soft leather models that pack up into a tiny pouch. 

For summer workwear outfits, I’m just going to share my own personal preference, which is not to wear sandals. I rarely wear sandals when I’m flying or travelling by train, and pretty much never in a business setting, so on a business trip, they would not be my first choice. But, if you love them, I’d follow the same advice as for flats: make sure they are more substantial than flip flops and in good shape. I’ve also seen lots of high-heeled sandals that look comfortable and are business appropriate. 

Picking colours and styles

As far as colour and specific styles, I say go nuts and pick things that suit your personal style. As long as you are comfortable and aren’t trying to go tour a factory in open toe stilettos, there’s a wide margin for you to work with and it’s a good opportunity to show off a little bit of personal style.

Sneakers for business travel

Lastly, are sneakers good for a business trip ? Probably in most cases! If you have a clean, simple pair, there are lots of ways to style them in workwear appropriate way. 

Cleaning your shoes

If you’re concerned at all about winter slush , or just keeping your shoes clean in general on a trip, you can bring a mini shoe shine kit, or boot wipes to make sure they look great for the entire trip.

Other footwear

The last thing I’ll say about footwear when packing for a business trip is to also consider other footwear you might need like running shoes to use the hotel gym, flip flops for the pool, or slippers if you like bringing your own from home.

Packing outerwear for a business trip.

Alright, let’s move on to outerwear. Now, this isn’t a video specifically about packing for one season, so bear with me as I go through recommendations for every season, starting with winter . Unless it’s a bitter cold and blizzards, in which case, the parka is your only choice, my top pick for a business trip coat is just a lovely structure wool coat. Or, even a blanket coat works really well. 

For added warmth without the bulk, I always recommend layering a small down vest under the coat. You usually can’t even see it and it adds tons of warmth. Click here for more winter layering tips . 

Spring weather

For more spring weather , a peacoat, blazer, or leather jacket can all be great choices. Even denim to a certain degree can be business trip appropriate styled the right way. Traditionally, trench coats and Mac coats are probably the most business appropriate. These days, you can get trench coats in all sorts of cuts and colours, and even fabrics. Drapey, structured, leather, printed, waxed, vinyl. So, if you have a trench coat you love, great! And if you’re in the market for one, you have lots of choice that will work for business and casual outfits.

How I Pack For a Spring Trip

Packing a blazer

Let’s talk about blazers really quickly, because when we think about workwear, that’s often what comes to mind first. I love the look of a strong blazer and think they’re such a useful piece to make any outfit a little more polished. But personally, I actually don’t bring them when I travel that often. I think it’s because I find them a bit stiff and also, they can feel a little tight when you have to wear a coat over top, which for me, is very often. 

But, in general blazers are great! Don’t settle when you’re looking for a new blazer, because they are investment pieces. Find one that fits you the way you want, and works with the rest of your closet. The fun thing about blazers is they can come in all sorts of fabrics and colours, so you can create uniforms and just switch out the style based on the season. In fall and winter, I like dark colours and more prints, and in the summer, go for a linen blazer in a light colour. 

On the extreme ends, I’ve even seen some silk blazers and some leather blazers look really chic as a workwear option. These can be a little more tricky to pack though. Linen and Silk need to be steamed, and leather can be a bit heavy. I’d say the sweet spot is a natural fibre and synthetic fibre blend. Like wool with a bit of polyester to help it bounce back into its shape. As far as packing and protecting your blazers, if you have limited space, like a really tiny suitcase, I’d recommend wearing your blazer on travel days. For tips on how to pack a blazer without creasing or damaging it, check out my post on how to pack formalwear where I mention some tips for packing suit jackets and blazers. 

I’ve never purchased a full matching blazer and trousers myself, but I do love the way it looks and honestly, for business travel, coordinated sets can give you a lot of flexibility for mixing and matching. You can pair the pieces with other items to really increase the number of outfit combinations. 

This spring, vests are coming back, especially with matching trousers. It’s got a very Diane Keaton vibe to it which I’m loving. It’s also a great way to add modesty to a slightly sheer top, or can even be worn over a tank for a business but summer-ready look.

Picking trousers for business travel.

Onto trousers, which is probably my MVP pick for business travel. I love trousers and they really suit my personality and style. I’d say this is another investment piece and finding the ones that suit your style, body, and climate is well worth the time and money. Personally, my favourite trousers are a wool blend and tend to sit high on the waist. That being said, some of the trousers I wear the most are actually a wide leg style in a polyester blend because they are so comfortable and wrinkle-resistant, so I don’t need to fuss about making sure I pack a travel iron, or use the one at the hotel. 

I have a blog post all about trousers and what fabrics to choose for the optimal travel pants. In a nutshell, there are several brands making more technical trousers, like lululemon and their sister brand kit and ace, which are crease resistant, stain resistant, good for golf, biking, and travel, and so much more. Their merino wool pants are also great for winter and wool is antimicrobial and dries really fast in case you need to wash your pants in your hotel sink. If you pick a pair of pants that is looser around the waist, trousers can also be a great option for travel days .

Should I Pack Jeans?

The Best Wrinkle-Resistant Trousers

Jeans for business travel.

More and more offices allow jeans not just on casual Fridays. For travel, I’d recommend jeans with a bit more stretch and a more comfortable cut for travel days and long hours in meetings. But, as long as there aren’t tears and distressing, any denim can be made office appropriate. White black, and grey denim can also be a great way to incorporate denim in a neutral way. 

Blouses and tops for travel

So, you’ve got pants, you’ve got a blazer, what about tops? Depending on the length of the trip, I tend to pack a bit of everything for tops. I have my favourite merino wool or silk tanks and t-shirts that just go under everything. I tend to run hot, like it doesn’t take much: hot weather, heater, stress, embarrassment, for me to get warm, so natural fibres are my preferred base layer. 

Blouses are obviously a classic office wear look . Button up, dramatic sleeve, jewel tone, this is another place to get creative. If you do opt for thinner blouses, make sure you roll them to avoid creasing or pack a travel steamer. 

You can also get creative with layering your tops. If it’s winter time, a think turtleneck can go under anything, even a blouse. You can also pick a printer blouse and just have the collar peek out under a dress or a sweater combination. 

Sweaters are another great top to pack , for warmth and style. I like packing a mix of thick and thin ones. Thin cardigans can be great for air conditioned offices in the summer, or be styled as a top on its own or under a sleeveless dress.

Packing dresses and skirts

Don’t be afraid of packing dresses and skirts on a business trip, just make sure you coordinate your shoes and pack good tights if it’s seasonally or required. My favourite tights are Sheertex because they are indestructible, so I never have to worry about having a run in my tights in the middle of a business trip. 

business travel capsule wardrobe 2022

Some of my favourite versatile dresses are midi length slip dresses, especially with a tall boot, sleeveless wool dresses with a turtleneck. I also love sweater dresses, wrap dresses, or shirt dresses. I would steer away from shorter dresses and skirts, not because they are inappropriate but I just personally find them a bit more juvenile in style and they cut me off in the wrong places, so I prefer a longer hemline. The fun thing about some dress styles is they can double as a long cardigan or as a gilet vest, so you get more outfits out of your items. 

For summer time, a sleeves dress is totally appropriate, but keep in mind my AC warning, and bring a light blazer, jacket, or cardigan. If it’s really hot, you might want to consider wearing a slip under your dress to keep you cool and sweat-free. Also, with thinner fabrics in the summer, make sure you have the right underwear for every outfit you plan to wear.

Solving common business travel problems

Ok, with the theory out of the way, let’s cover some frequent business travel dilemmas.

How to pack for a business trip for hot weather. ​

I think long sleeve blouses and trousers can be great for hot summer weather when they're in a linen fabric . Bermuda shorts are also an appropriate style for summer office looks and Pinterest has tons of inspiration on ways to style sorts for the office. 

I have several parties, dinners, and drinks planned in the context of my business trip and not sure how to be work appropriate but still fun. ​

I love this question and for me the key is bringing blouses and dresses that can do both daytime and evening. Then, swapping out your accessories. During the day, you may want to keep jewelry low key and you might also have a large tote bag with your computer and planner. In the evening, try styling your looks with a statement piece, and a clutch instead. 

I have to lug so much around but don't want to wear a backpack, what do you suggest. ​

I don't know if you've watched the sex and the city reboot, but gosh, Miranda got so much flack for her backpack, and I get it, backpacks can be...outfit ruiners. Instead, I'd recommend a chic tote bag . That can range from a leather one to nylon, there's definitely a spectrum to choose from. Find one that has all the functionality that you need, but that you will love to use outside of the office. Cuyana makes some beautiful totes with organizing inserts that can fit a laptop. 

How do I make sure my clothes look great after hours of travel?

It all starts with choosing good travel fabrics to start, and then packing them carefully. If your hotel has an iron, great, use it! If not, consider packing a 2-in-1 travel steamer and iron . Make sure you unpack as soon as you arrive at your hotel so your clothes spend as little time as possible crumpled up. I'd also recommend packing cubes for your shoes and keeping delicates packed away from velcro and zippers. For more delicate items, you can also invest in a garment bag that clips into your suitcase, like the away garment bag . If you really want to be prepared, a small sewing kit , a lint roller , crease-release spray and anti-static spray can help your outfits look impeccable.

My office clothes are boring, how do you make cool outfits for work?

Pinterest and Instagram! You probably have lots of hidden gems, but need a little inspiration. I like using the More Ideas tab in Pinterest to find more styles in line with my taste. Sometimes it's about a fresh idea on layering, or seeing colour combinations I hadn't thought of. Or, seeing how people style head to toe monochromatic looks. I find magazine editors are women I like to copy, or creative entrepreneurs.

Final packing tips for business travel

The last few tips I’d say for business travel are to make sure you have clean chip-free nails and to think about some hair and makeup styles before leaving so you can plan whether to bring hair tools like flat iron and blow dryer. I’m not very good with hair, so for a short trip, I’ve gotten a blow out before leaving or right when I landed and stretch out that style for the length of my trip so I had a good hair day every day of the trip. It was just one less thing to think about.

And that’s it! Those are my major tips for business travel. I hope these were helpful. Let me know in the comments if you have more questions!

Business Casual Workwear Capsule + 20 Outfit Ideas

business casual workwear lifewithjazz capsule

I’m excited to share my business casual workwear capsule!

What is a work capsule wardrobe?

If you are new to capsule wardrobes, a capsule wardrobe is made up of a few essential items that don’t go out of style and can be rotated seasonly. With classic, versatile and quality pieces, a capsule wardrobe will minimize your wardrobe and allow you to spend less time getting ready in the morning — while also looking effortlessly chic! [Here’s my personal capsule I put together each season.]

Similar to the benefits of a uniform [as workwear is essentially a uniform], capsules help keep your wardrobe to a minimum and removes the constant decision fatigue that comes with having an overabundance of clothes, shoes, etc.

Random story time : When I was in elementary school I was forced to wear a uniform [and I say ‘forced’ because uniforms were optional at my school but my mom made me wear them and I was pretty much one of three kids in the ENTIRE school wearing uniforms] and HATED them with a passion. Like HATED them. I spent years arguing and begging not to wear a uniform. Little rebel me would even wear an entirely different outfit underneath so I could change at school and wear ‘regular’ clothes. I was so scarred I didn’t wear navy and white together for over 10 years after that [no joke]. So the irony that I now create capsules and love workwear is not lost on me lol.

Business casual capsule

This capsule has been a long time coming as it’s been one of my most requested capsules [after my personal seasonal capsules]. I also have a business professional and smart casual workwear capsule coming up next!

The items I’ve chosen for the business are the items I consider to be essential staples for creating just about any business casual outfit. The items here an easily be mixed and matched a number of ways, and dressed up or down [by adding or removing a blazer, wearing heels vs loafers etc].

The capsules I create hopefully provide you some inspiration, but don’t feel like you need to copy it to a T! If you prefer skirts or dresses, you could easily switch out the pants or add a skirt or dress. You can also incorporate different colors or patterns to switch things up [but if you’ve been following me for a while you know I love my neutrals].

Consider your dress code when creating your work capsule

I realize that dress code polices will vary slightly across companies/industries, so I’ve included a variety of styles in my recommendations below. It’s important to remember that the style of an item can change the formality of a look.

For example, if your dress code allows dark wash jeans, you could go with a black jean instead of black trouser [if you feel like trouser would be too formal].

For a dressy, but more relaxed version of a cotton button up, go with a silk button.

Or instead of a traditional blazer, you can go with a sweater blazer, boyfriend blazer, cardigan, etc!

Product recommendations

I own many of the pieces I’ve linked to in my recommendations below, but I’ve also included additional selects from brands I know and love [you can also use these brands as guidance for where to shop for workwear].

Jackets/Blazers:

Undergarments:, accessories:, 20 business casual outfits.

I'm a Travel Editor, and I Built the Perfect Capsule Wardrobe From 14 Basics You'd Never Guess Are From Amazon

I can make dozens of outfits with them — and still fit them all in a carry-on.

Building the perfect travel capsule wardrobe takes a lot of thoughtful consideration. You need a cohesive set of pieces that can easily be mixed and matched, ones that are versatile enough to pull their weight in almost any situation — and work double duty for multiple outfits so you can save precious space in your suitcase.

After years as a travel editor, I’m happy to report that I’ve finally perfected my list. These are the timeless, effortless pieces I reach for trip after trip, and they have basically paid for themselves over the years. From the comfortable Allbirds sneakers that I can’t leave home without to the black pants that I wear on repeat , each of these styles has been tested over thousands of miles and many hours of travel. Best of all, I found them all at Amazon for as little as $13.

Oversized White Button-down

This is the holy grail, friends, and one of my most-worn travel pieces. It’s dressy enough for a work trip but when left unbuttoned, it can be used as a casual cover-up at the beach. Wear it with almost any pair of shorts, midi skirt, or pants, and tucked in, unbuttoned, or even tied in front to change any look — making multiple outfits with just a slight tweak. The options are practically endless. Trust me, this breezy top has been with me around the world, from the office in New York City to the beaches of Florida, and it’s always come in handy. As other reviewers mentioned, “ it doesn’t wrinkle easily ,” but it does have its limits, so make sure to fold it nicely when you’re packing.

Black Pants

Versatile black pants like these Baleaf joggers are your best friend for travel; I find they’re an easy base for any airport outfit or hiking outfit. I’ve taken this particular pair everywhere from Vietnam to Iceland, and I couldn’t imagine a comfier, more useful pair at this price point. They’ve performed on hikes up waterfalls and 14-hour flights, plus a Mekong Delta tour in the 100-degree heat. I even got a compliment from the tour guide in Vietnam, who said these are the perfect lightweight pants for the tour because they’re quick-drying, so they wick sweat in the heat but still provide necessary sun (they’re UV-blocking with a UPF 50+ rating!) and bug protection. If you’re looking for something a little less sporty, I also think this Skechers Go Walk pant would be excellent for everyday wear (and you could even get away with dressing them up with an oversized blazer).

Supportive Running Sneakers

There’s no doubt about it, comfortable walking shoes are an essential you just can’t skip out on — nor can you skimp on the quality. That’s why if you’re going to splurge on any one item, you should make it running sneakers, because there’s no faking quality support, especially if you’re hoping for out-of-the-box comfort and cushion that will carry you through even the longest travel days. That’s why I love the Allbirds Wool Runners — they have cushioning for days. Case in point: I hiked up Hawaii’s Diamond Head wearing these straight from the box and never got a single blister.

Black Dress

Walking tours, the perfect sunny picnic day in the park , pickleball matches, running errands — when isn’t a casual black dress useful? I always have one on rotation, including this one from Amazon-loved brand Ewedoos. It’s sweat-wicking, so it’s great in the heat, but if there’s a breeze, I like to layer my oversized button-down over it. For something a bit longer when I’m traveling to a more conservative place like Egypt where it’s best to wear longer lengths, I also have a black dress similar to this Amazon one that I wear at least once a week in summer.

Basic Tanks

When I first received these flattering tanks, I was shocked at how good the quality was considering the low, two-for-one price tag that brought them to just over $7 each. But they are my repeat M.V.P.s on trips, whether I need an undershirt or just a basic white tank to pair with jeans or skirts. Trust me, when you’re a carry-on-only traveler , less is more. Plus, I’ve found that these are easy to care for on the go.

Black Midi Skirt

This is an all-seasons skirt that practically lives in my suitcase. In summer, I wear it with a tank and sandals; in winter, with a chunky turtleneck and tall booties. The silky material can make this look dressed up for nice dinners out with the right top and heels, but it can also be dressed down with casual sandals and accessories. Plus, it folds up into practically nothing. 

True story: I love this belt bag so much that I bought it in two colors that easily fit into my monochrome capsule wardrobe, white and black. If you’re starting with one, I recommend the black one since it’s easier to keep clean and blends seamlessly into any look. I love that these keep my hands free at the airport but my belongings close to my chest (aka pickpocket-free) and reviewers point out that it’s “ high-quality and half the price of Lululemon .” No wonder it’s an Amazon No. 1 best-seller.

White Sneakers

These Vejas are beloved by globetrotting celebrities (and me!), and I will tell you exactly why. They’re seriously stylish and more put-together than your average athletic sneakers, so they can easily pair with sundresses and shorts; but they also look right at home with comfy joggers, too. I’ve worn mine to Egypt and France, at home in Boston, and beyond, and they fit in everywhere I go.

Bike Shorts 

I use these high-waisted Gym People yoga shorts for working out on repeat, but they’re also my go-to athleisure for summer or lounging around. I like to pair an oversized sweatshirt over them Princess Diana-style , and sometimes, I’ll throw them under dresses if the destination I’m traveling to is windy. Oh, and they have a perfect side pocket for your phone.

One-piece Swimsuit 

I have an Amazon bikini that I absolutely swear by, but my favorite swimsuit of all time has to be this striped one-piece . Why? It doubles as a cute tank under shorts or a skirt, making it an easy-as-can-be, full-fledged outfit on beach or boat days. I also like one-piece swimsuits because, for me, they tend to offer the most secure fit, so I can partake in active adventures like snorkeling, cliff diving, or jumping off the back of a boat in the Aegean without worrying about wardrobe malfunctions. I’ve had this flattering, full-coverage Amazon one since I bought it for a trip to Bolivia in 2019, so it’s lasted five years and counting.

Wide-leg White Linen Pants

I wear these breezy linen-cotton blend pants on repeat in the warmer months and during beach trips any time of year. You can throw them over a one-piece bathing suit and wear them straight from the beach to a bar or restaurant, or you can dress them up for a resort-ready look on a big night out with the right sparkly accessories. But hey, don’t just take it from me. One traveler, who took them on a 10-day trip to Europe, said they “ wore them every day .”

Waterproof Sandals

My white EVA Birkenstocks are a must for the beach since they’re waterproof, but I also wear them for walking around town because they have cushioning, arch support, and a lip that folds up to keep dirt off your toes (these Amazon sandals are their budget-friendlier twins).. When my outfit calls for black footwear, I also have these Teva sandals that I got from Amazon and are absolute game-changers. They can get wet in a beach situation, and I love that they have hook-and-loop straps that secure them to your feet for day hikes.

Matching Set

My favorite trick of the trade for maximizing the number of travel outfits you can stuff into one carry-on is to invest in a neutral-colored matching set — you can mix the top with other pieces in your wardrobe (that silk midi skirt! Your wear-everywhere pants and jeans!) as well as the shorts (with that button-down! Or over your swimsuit!), or wear them together for a super on-trend, effortless look, resulting in at least three separate outfits with just one buy. I currently have a set from Anthropologie, but I’m eyeing this Automet matching set at Amazon that’s sitting at just $26 for all of my 2024 trips.

Comfy Jeans

Hot take: jeans are a necessary travel wardrobe essential. A lot of travelers will disagree, finding them too rigid, but I always have a pair in my suitcase to switch up my look or give it a more put-together feel. Plus, they look so classic with a white or black tee and white sneakers (show me a city that this combo wouldn’t look good in!) The key is finding a pair that’s equal parts flattering and comfortable. I swear by Abercrombie and Fitch’s mom jeans, which have way more give than any other pair of denim that I've tried, but this Lee pair from Amazon is similar and has an even lower price tag.

Fall/Winter Travel Capsule Wardrobe: 18+ Outfits, 1 Carry-On

Person sitting on floor packing a carry-on for article about travel capsule wardrobes

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or it’s your first time taking a trip, figuring out how to pack light can be an intimidating challenge. I’ve taken dozens of trips around the world and after years of checking a bag, I finally made the switch to carry-on only. Even for long trips! Which is how I’ve been able to master my travel capsule wardrobe for the fall/winter.

A carry-on is a great way to avoid checked bag fees and the anxiety of potentially losing your luggage. But the lack of space can be hard to pack especially when heading to a destination that’s a bit chillier when bulkier items are often needed. Lucky for you I’ve mastered the perfect travel capsule wardrobe for the fall/winter months and I’m excited to share it with you today. The info below will show you 18+ carry-on outfits you can create with only a handful of items which will make packing a breeze so you can enjoy your trip.

Plus, don’t forget to check out my video below which runs through as well as shows you all of the outfits on!

How Do You Make A Capsule Wardrobe For A Trip?

There are 3 main factors you want to consider when making a travel capsule wardrobe for a trip.

Is It Versatile? This is key for any type of capsule wardrobe but especially one you’ll use for travel. For example, you’ll want a shirt that can be dressed up for dinner or down for a walking tour. This is where it’s all about maximizing every item’s potential and making sure they can be mixed and matched with other items easily.

Is It Comfortable? When I’m on the go, comfort is one of my biggest priorities. I refuse to wear anything that makes me uncomfortable, inside or out, which is why I always opt for pieces with soft fabrics that aren’t overly restricting. All of the items you bring in your fall/winter travel capsule wardrobe should be pieces you’re familiar with or pieces that you are confident will be consistently comfortable throughout your trip.

Is It Packable? This is where you want to focus on lightweight materials. Now I know this can be tough when packing for a trip to a chillier destination. But that’s where layers come in, so don’t worry. With the packing list you’ll find below, you’ll see that all of the items are able to be layered allowing for maximum warmth and space in your carry-on.

How Many Pieces Are In A Travel Capsule Wardrobe?

There’s no hard and fast rule about how many pieces are in a travel capsule wardrobe. It really comes down to how much you want to fit in your bag. In this article, I have 17 items (tops, bottoms, outerwear, shoes, bags) all of which can be easily rolled into a carry-on or worn on the plane/train.

I recommend being a bit cautious of how much you jam-pack in your carry-on for two reasons. A. It’s not fun lugging a heavy carry-on around. And B. Some airlines are pretty strict with weighing carry-ons. I find that in the States I can get away with an overweight carry-on (they rarely weigh, in my experience) but internationally, they are much stricter. So be sure to follow this guide to pack smartly!

What Pieces Are Good For A Fall/Winter Capsule Wardrobe?

These are all the pieces I recommend bringing to maximize your style, and space, with your travel capsule wardrobe.

Travel Capsule Wardrobe Guide for Fall and Winter Months

Black Long Sleeve Shirt – Perfect for layering and giving endless pairing possibilities.  Smokey Blue (Grey) Long Sleeve Shir t – Giving a subtle hint of color, this shirt helps add some depth to your travel capsule wardrobe.  Brown Bodysuit – A great option for an elevated look, especially with the earthy tone.  Black Sweatshirt – Perfect for the plane ride or lounging at the hotel/airbnb.  White Button Down – A quintessential piece for transitioning from day to night.  Multi-Color Sweater – The best way to brighten up an outfit, especially during gloomier days.  Black Cardigan – Whether open, buttoned, or draped on your shoulders, this is the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble.  White Sweater Knit Top – The perfect layering piece that adds a touch of elegance to your outfit.  Printed Wide Leg Pants – Add a touch of playfulness with a printed pant that balances comfort and style.  Black Cargo Pants – The best combination of utility and style, especially with the wide-leg silhouette.  Jeans – A timeless favorite, jeans are a must-pack no matter what.  Brown Leggings – Cozy and comfy, perfect for lounging around, working out, and on the airplane of course.  Black Purse – A sleek black purse is the perfect functional staple.  Canvas Tote Bag – A must-have for grocery store runs and casual outings.  Black Boots – Perfect for dinner or a get-together with new friends on your trip.  White Sneakers – What you’ll likely wear a majority of the time, both cute and comfy.  Wool Coat OR Leather Coat – Depending on the weather at your destination, opt for one of these coats for a classic look. Leather is better for fall weather while a wool coat will keep you warm in colder destinations. Pack a scarf and some clothes for the especially frigid destinations.

Fall/Winter Travel Capsule Wardrobe Outfits

When I first wrote this article and recorded this video, my goal was to come up with 18 outfits. Well lucky for you, I actually came up with even more! 20 to be exact. Let’s get into them.

Airport outfit for travel capsule wardrobe featuring black top, sweatershirt, coat, brown leggings, and sneakers

This is the perfect comfy airport outfit. You should choose which coat works best based on the weather of the destination you’re headed to. I always prioritize comfort over everything so this airport outfit is perfect for making sure I’m comfy no matter how long my travels may be.

brown leggings, black cardigan, black top, white sneakers, tote bag

Leggings aren’t a huge part of my wardrobe but this outfit would be perfect for a quick errand that’s a bit more elevated than wearing a sweatshirt. You can never really go wrong with leggings and a cute cardigan.

white button down, brown leggings, black top, black bag, white sneakers for travel capsule wardrobe

Definitely watch the video to see what this looks like. I didn’t love the button-down unbuttoned so I ended up tying it for a little *Britney Spears* moment. It was cute! But now let’s move on from leggings and get into some more practical outfits for everyday looks.

long sleeve, button down, jeans, sneakers, tote bag

I wrote this outfit with the button-down open. It’s a simple, classic look for a more relaxed day.

white long sleeve top, jeans, cardigan, black bag, black boots

I love the square neckline of this top! It’s incredibly flattering. I paired it with the black cardigan but it would likely be fine on its own as this top has very thick material and is warm. In the video, I show you how I cuff the sleeves around the cardigan which gives the look a bit of contrast.

jeans, black cardigan, grey top, white sneakers, black bag for travel capsule wardrobe

You’ll probably notice that the black cardigan is one of the most popular items in all of these outfits and that’s because of its versatility. You’ll see here how well it layers with this top and jeans making it a must-have in any travel capsule wardrobe.

grey top, jeans, white button down, white sneakers, tote bag

Let’s stick with the smokey blue/grey top for now. When I added the button-down, it gave a “scientist” look which I respect, but that’s not the vibe I’m going for. I ended up tucking the top in to make it a bit more sleek. Check out the video to see what I mean!

white button down, jeans, black cardigan, tote bag, sneaker for travel capsule wardrobe

A white button-down is not something I typically incorporate into my outfits so I’m challenging myself to make as many looks as I can with this item. For this outfit, I tucked it in and paired it with the black cardigan. It was a bit corporate for my style but I’d probably wear it to a museum or out to a cafe when I want a more preppy look.

sweater, white button down, jeans, black boots, tote bag

Time to break out the multi-color sweater! I paired this with the button down which helped make this outfit super warm. I also did a little French tuck with the sweater which you can see in the video.

black cardigan, jeans, brown bodysuit, black boots, black bag for travel capsule wardrobe

This bodysuit is warm enough so I don’t think I would need a layer depending on the weather. But if you do, the black cardigan is a great option. In the video, I show you how to tuck this cardigan for an even cuter look than simply wearing it buttoned up or open.

brown bodysuit, white button down, jeans, black boots, tote bag

This is a great casual outfit, especially if you style the button-down half-tucked into your pants. I love doing a half-tuck, it really balances the outfit well without being overly serious.

black cardigan, brown bodysuit, black pants, black boots, black bag for travel capsule wardrobe

This is probably one of my favorite outfits on this list. Can you tell I love dark neutrals?! The balance of the brown and black is perfection. Plus, I love these wide-leg cargo pant.

white top, black pants, black bag, black boots

These are two of my favorite pieces put together. Especially with the black bag, this look is the closest thing to perfection in my eyes.

black cardigan, black pants, black top, black boots, black bag for travel capsule wardrobe

I feel so at home with an all-black outfit. I’m trying hard to branch out and wear color but this is truly where I feel at peace (dramatic, yes). You can’t go wrong with this look!

grey top, black pants, black cardigan, black boots, black bag

If you need a little bit of “color” to break up the all-black outfit, simply add the smokey blue/grey top for a bit of contrast.

sweater, black pants, button down, black boots, tote bag

Layering the white button-down under this sweater is the perfect way to stay warm!

black top, black pants, white button down, black boots, black bag

Wearing this button-down half-tucked or folded and tucked (check out the video to see what I mean) is a good option for this look. The black and white is a great contrast of course.

black cardigan, black top, printed pants, black boots, black bag

This is a great option to make these pants the star of the show by balancing them with all-black pieces.

white button down, printed pants, tote bag, black boots for travel capsule wardrobe

A neutral pair of pants with a fun print? You can never go wrong. At first, I tried to pair this with a layer underneath but I didn’t love the look. so I decided to wear it with just the button-down shirt in a half-tuck. This might be a bit chilly, so I do recommend wearing a warm coat with this look if you’ll be heading outside.

black cardigan, printed pants, white button down, black boots, black bag

I really like the contrast of the white and beige so throw a black Caridgan on to balance out the black and you’ll have a cute preppy look.

What jewelry to bring when traveling?

I always bring a few gold rings, bracelets, and a necklace when I’m traveling. Frankly, these are all pieces I wear 24/7 anyway, so I just wear them on the plane. However, to spice up all of these neutral outfits, I always bring a couple of fun earrings to add a bit of personality to my look. Check out this article about my favorite Etsy shops for jewelry to find some great pieces to bring!

How do get wrinkles out when traveling?

Wrinkles are inevitable when packing everything up into a small carry-on. I always bring Downy Wrinkle Refresh Spray on a trip with me. This bottle is TSA-friendly and lasts super long. All you need to do is spray it on your clothes, “wipe” the wrinkles out and the clothes will be smooth and wrinkle-free. If it leaves a wet spot, don’t worry because it will try in a few minutes and won’t leave any type of mark.

Final Thoughts

I hope this article was able to prepare you best for your upcoming trip! This is the perfect travel capsule wardrobe you can refer to for years to come. Thank you for reading!

Cheers, Hailey

Precision packing is a true art form. We all know packing for vacation can be stressful. You want to have options for everything on (and off ) your agenda, but you don't want to overpack and overwhelm yourself. Luckily, there's a formula that makes packing a breeze—no matter where you're headed.

Enter the travel capsule wardrobe : your key to balancing practicality with style options to fit your entire itinerary, thanks to versatile pieces that transform seamlessly from outfit to outfit. Of course, how you'll curate this depends on where you're headed and what kind of vacation you're taking, which is where we come in. Ahead, see our guide to building the ideal travel capsule wardrobe for six vacation types , complete with insights from two fashion experts.

Meet the Expert

  • Audree Kate López  is a professional fashion stylist and editor based in New York City.
  • Caroline Maguire is the fashion director at Shopbop.

"It's about choosing the right pieces that are practical yet on-trend/fashionable. I always like to write down my outfits by day to see what I can wear multiple times to save room on packing." — Caroline Maguire, fashion director at Shopbop

On the Road Again

If your road trip finally made it out of the group chat (congrats!), the next step is deciding what outfits you want to wear on your grand adventure. If you've ever spent hours sitting in the car, you know comfort is key, but that doesn't mean style is out of the question. Grab your favorite pair of dad sneakers and pair them with either a matching set or a full-body onesie and oversized jacket ( see a few standout options here )—you'll be enviably cozy while emanating chic athleisure vibes. "I love dressing up, but you will never catch me in tight denim or a restricting top during a road trip," López tells us.

Product Picks

Girlfriend Collective

Oceanside Style

Packing for a tropical vacation is slightly easier than a winter getaway, as swimsuits and lightweight dresses take up less space than a puffer coat and snow boots. Still, if you're looking to simplify your packing list, focus on different accessories to change each look. Whether you love a good pair of sunglasses, a bucket hat (we rounded up a few standout options to wear in the sun ), a belt, or jewelry, accessorizing goes a long way.

For a beach getaway, the best travel capsule wardrobe comprises pieces that take you from poolside to dinner with ease. A linen shirt ( check out a few of our favorites here ) doubles as a coverup and looks great tucked into jeans with sandals, while a one-piece bathing suit—a poolside staple—also works as a bodysuit when paired with a miniskirt . "There is no need to pack a ton of extra tops or styling pieces when your swimsuits can be used as a top, bodysuit, undergarments, or layered under a sheer dress," says fashion stylist Audree Kate López.

If you only want to pack one handbag, you can't go wrong with a basket bag to fit all your necessities. "A beach tote can be used during the day at the pool/beach to carry essentials, towels, a book, etc., but can also be used as a carry-on personal item on the plane," López tells us.

Tove Studio

Good American

Max Elevation

Packing for a mountain getaway may seem daunting, but we have the ultimate outfit formula to stay warm on the slopes and feel chic as you head straight to the lodge for an après-ski hot chocolate. The key to packing for a winter vacation is base layers. "You need to layer up in the mountains, so opt for fleece pullovers and warm hats, plus cute and cozy pieces you can mix and match throughout your stay," says Shopbop fashion director Caroline Maguire.

For a ski trip or other winter travel, you'll obviously need practical outerwear like a down jacket and snow boots, but don't forget to put thought into your base layers to maximize your style options. A turtleneck bodysuit ( see a few of our favorite bodysuits ) layers well under winter gear, plus you can elevate it for nighttime with chic trousers and a cardigan . As for pants, we love the below moto puffer style by Alo, as it works overtime as both regular cargo pants and a ski option.

Perfect Moment

Take On the City

The key to versatile and stylish packing for a city trip is channeling quiet luxury , proving the trend's staying power yet again. Think Sofia Richie Grainge 's style, including tailored basics and understated accessories. Rather than packing five different bags, choose a style with straps that you can adapt between shoulder and crossbody styles, like the below option from Brandon Blackwood. Pack a comfortable pair of black booties (the lower the heels, the better, since you'll be doing a lot of walking). "Avoid uncomfortable 'trendy' shoes and pack items that you can wear pretty much all day without needing to go back to the hotel and change," López tells us. A good pair of leather boots— like any of these —can go with any look.

Lastly, a city travel capsule wardrobe is best with a good coat and blazer to style with any outfit. Then you'll be able to swap out basics like a white tee, jeans, and a little black dress to create a range of sophisticated ensembles to fit everything on your agenda.

High Seas Fashion

When you're about to set sail on the trip of a lifetime, what do you pack? While you'll probably be soaking up a lot of sun on a cruise, it's important to remember that after the sun sets, it can get pretty chilly. Thus, a lightweight cardigan (we love these cashmere options ) will be your go-to from day to night when you need an extra layer. Additionally, a lightweight matching set like the one below from Abercrombie is an ideal option for packing light amid changing temps, as you can wear it together or separately to create a whole range of looks. "Pack easy day-to-night styles—things you can lounge in during the day by the pool or on [an] island, and then dress up easily for dinner and a show," Maguire advises.

One with Nature

Whether you're an outdoorsy type who loves camping or prefer the glamping experience, you'll want to be prepared to face the elements, and you can absolutely do so in style. A raincoat or windbreaker (ideally a two-in-one jacket) is a necessity, and these days, the market truly has all-weather pieces to fit every taste—the below water-resistant parka from Totême is a sophisticated, versatile option. You'll also need a good pair of sneakers for hiking , and it's a bonus if they're also waterproof.

"I am a glamper myself and love it," Maguire tells us. "You'll need layers for a camping trip. Go for an oversize flannel button-up and your favorite pair of denim —even overalls could be fun here." Look for moisture-wicking items for practicality and layer them with trend-forward pieces like a plaid flannel shacket.

Do-It-Yourself Travel Capsule Wardrobe 2022

Building a travel capsule wardrobe can be quite simple–if you know what you’re doing and what you need. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about travel capsule wardrobes:

The first step is to figure out what items you need and want to take with you on your trip. Make a list of everything you think you’ll need, including both clothing and non-clothing items. Once you have your list, start paring it down. Ask yourself if each item is truly essential. If not, get rid of it.

There’s no hard and fast rule, but a good guideline is to aim for around 30 items, including both clothing and non-clothing items. This may seem like a lot but remember that you’ll be wearing some of these items more than once.

A summer capsule wardrobe is similar to any other capsule wardrobe, but with a few key changes. First, you’ll want to focus on light, airy fabrics that won’t weigh you down in the heat. Second, choose items in cool, refreshing colors like white, blue, pink, and/or green. And finally, make sure to pack items that will protect you from the sun, like a hat and sunscreen.

A travel capsule wardrobe is a versatile and stylish way to pack for your next trip, whether you’re headed to the beach or the mountains. But how do you build one?

  • Start with the basics: choose a color palette of neutrals, like black, white, and navy.
  • Then, add a few pops of color with statement pieces like a brightly-colored top or printed dress.
  • Next, select versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different looks.
  • Think: a blazer that can be worn over a sundress during the day or paired with jeans and a tee for dinner.
  • Finally, accessorize! A great pair of sunglasses, a straw hat, and a cute crossbody bag will take your travel capsule wardrobe to the next level.

Now that you know how to build a travel capsule wardrobe, get started packing for your next adventure! Bon voyage!

As someone who loves to travel, I am always looking for ways to make packing easier. I have found that one of the best ways to do this is by creating a capsule wardrobe.

This is perfect for travel because it means that you can pack fewer items and still have a variety of outfit options.

One of the first things you need to do when creating a travel capsule wardrobe is to choose a color palette. When choosing your colors, it is important to consider the climate of your travel destination.

For example, if you are traveling to a warm climate, you might want to pack light and airy colors like white, cream, and pastels. If you are traveling to a cold climate, you might want to pack darker colors like black, navy, and gray.

Once you have chosen your color palette, you can start selecting the pieces that you will include in your travel capsule wardrobe.

When choosing your clothing items, it is important to consider both function and style.

You want to make sure that all of the items you pack can be mixed and matched to create multiple looks. And, of course, you want to make sure that your travel capsule wardrobe represents your personal style.

  • A versatile travel dress
  • A pair of comfortable jeans
  • A light sweater or cardigan
  • A travel jacket
  • A pair of walking shoes
  • A pair of dressy shoes
  • Undergarments

Of course, your travel capsule wardrobe will also need to include toiletries and other travel essentials. But, these are just a few examples of clothing items that you might want to include in your travel capsule wardrobe.

I hope this blog post has given you some helpful tips on how to build a travel capsule wardrobe. Creating a travel capsule wardrobe is a great way to make packing for your next trip easier and more fun. So, get started planning your travel capsule wardrobe today!

My 30-Piece Fall 2022 Classic Casual Neutral Capsule Wardrobe

See how I created my neutral color capsule wardrobe, which includes tops, bottoms, layers and shoes, based on the Simplified Style®: Dressy & Casual Capsule Wardrobe . I’m sharing everything in my own personal capsule wardrobe here on the blog.

For those of you that follow the Classy Yet Trendy blog, you know that I have been using a capsule wardrobe in my closet for several years . I absolutely love using a capsule wardrobe every season, as it helps me get dressed quickly and easily everyday. A capsule wardrobe is a small set of clothes and shoes, which all mix and match, so you can have dozens of outfit combinations ready to wear. Using a capsule wardrobe lets you focus on more important things in your life and takes the stress away from getting dressed.

My full-time job is running Classy Yet Trendy working at home, so I wear casual clothes like jeans, casual pants and casual tops and layers. My job everyday consists of: working at my desk, doing photo sessions of clothes and shoes, moving about creating flatlays for Instagram, etc., so dresses or skirts are not feasible for my work-week lifestyle. On Sundays, I do wear skirts and dresses to church, in addition to wearing outfits from my capsule wardrobe since everyone dresses casual at our church.

Living in Alabama, our Fall season starts late . Our fall weather arrives around early October, so when I am creating my fall capsule, I will include short sleeves, then swap those out with the same styles in long sleeves mid-season when the weather cools down.

I created my all-neutral capsule for my closet based on the women’s Simplified Style®: The Dressy & Casual Collection – A Year-Round Core Closet Essentials Capsule Wardrobe . In Simplified Style®, there are 400+ outfit combinations for the entire year, capsule collections for all seasons, outfit calendars and more! Since I work at home, I am using most of the casual pieces in the capsule.

My Color Palette

In the Fall and Winter season, I tend to select “black” as the base color for my capsule wardrobe, as it coordinates well with cold season clothes and shoes. This is my own personal preference, so if you are referencing this post to create your capsule wardrobe for the Fall season, feel free to use your favorite base color. You can choose brown, camel, charcoal gray, etc.

The capsule wardrobes I share from my own closet every season, are clothes that I have, enjoy wearing and goes along with my personal style. Everyone has their own personal style as well as color preference in clothes, so your clothes and shoes in your capsule may be different from mine. You are welcome to use my capsule wardrobes here on the blog as inspiration for creating your own! While I don’t have a guide of outfits for my own personal capsule wardrobes, feel free to follow along on my Instagram account @classyyettrendy , where I share outfits I wear throughout the season, as well as outfit flatlays and outfit ideas!

If you need a complete wardrobe for the season, then you may enjoy using one of my “ready to wear” capsule wardrobes in other styles available in the Capsule Wardrobe Store !

That’s what’s great about using a capsule wardrobe as you can hang everything on a clothes rack and put it in any room!

For my Fall 2022 capsule, I included 30 tops, bottoms, layers and shoes.

Leanne, I started following you about 6 weeks ago and I’m getting so much inspiration from you. I retired from teaching school in South Florida and moved up here to Birmingham. I’ve been purging all of my ‘teacher clothes’ and lots of bright Lily Pulitzer clothes. Starting a classic neutral capsule is really helping me. I’m excited about creating it. I’ve had difficulty finding lots of shopping options in Birmingham so thank you so much for linking your clothes.

Hi Leanne! I love your capsule ideas, and would like to see color capsules, cool and warm as well. Unfortunately I am not a neutrals gal 🙂

Id love to see you put together some outfits with these clothes. To see how you style them.

I love your capsule clothes! I need to do this!

I live on the gulf coast of Florida so I have challenges with fall as well. It was very helpful to me to see how you manage the transition to fall

I live in Indiana where we are hot and humid until at least October! I am the mirror of your taste with a few tweaks. I spend part of my time in court as an attorney. A lot of time at home working & dressed slovenly. No pants at church for me, but a lot of people do dress casual. I’ve gained a lot of weight but want to look & feel better. I love your wardrobes especially this one! I spill food & stain my shirts because I eat in the car at lunch. What do you use to get food or ink out of T-shirts, etc? Absolutely love Alabama !!

Thank you! I’ve been using Shout Advanced Stain Gel (with the attached brush) to remove stains for several years to remove minor stains, haven’t used it on ink stains though.

Great post, Leanne! One question: have the Simplified Style shopping links been updated since the version I purchased in 2020? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your neutral wardrobe. I like your style!

Would you share (or sell) an outfit plan as you do with your capsule wardrobes? That feature is extremely helpful for this busy momma!

Hi Leanne! I’ve been following you for a year now and have also got my sister hooked! My 21-year-old daughter would also LOVE to try a capsule wardrobe, but is wondering if you could put together something younger, for college girls? Thanks!

Hi Leanne! I loved your personal neutral capsule, why don’t you sell that one too? 😊

I would like to see a casual neutral year-long wardrobe. Not extensive or to minimal just in the middle. I wonder if others would like that as well. Your fall-neutral classics wardrobe is outstanding. thank you

I’m actually working on a Casual Neutral Year-Round Capsule Wardrobe! Since I will be publishing the Winter capsules in November and we will also be moving soon, I estimate it will be complete sometime either in December or January.

I look terrible in off white/cream, tan, beige pretty much any lighter shade of brown. These colors wash me out when worn near my face. What colors can I substitute?

You could go with a cool-tone color palette, using colors like gray, taupe and blue.

Great post ! thanks for sharing xoxo, Sabrine

I'm Always Catching a Flight, and I Swear By This Travel Capsule Wardrobe

spring-travel-capsule-wardrobe-298348-1646665083768-main

This is your sign to  book that flight. Spring is the best time of the year to catch the travel bug and add a few vacations to your calendar. The winter hibernation is beginning to come to a close, and you're likely ready to go out and about again. I recently took a bicoastal flight to visit family and have to applaud my packing skills. For once, I truly had everything I needed and found it easy to get out the door every morning while living out of my suitcase. And I certainly didn't overpack. I wore nearly every item that I brought along with me.

How did I do it? The pieces you'll find in the below  capsule wardrobe ended up laying down the groundwork. I then topped off my suitcase with a "statement piece" for every day to  build outfits around. I honestly could have gone a month without coming back home since there were so many outfits that I could make out of what I ended up packing, so I have to share with you the ultimate spring capsule wardrobe, tested and approved by me.

spring-travel-capsule-wardrobe-298348-1646694564754-main

1. Trench Coat

You'll never regret buying a trench coat. I've been wearing mine for a year or two, and I know we have a lifetime together to look forward to. 

Topshop + Editor Long Trench Coat

I'm calling this the perfect trench coat that will never go out of style.

H&M + Cotton Trench Coat

Spoiler alert: This is the next trench coat I'm buying.

Burberry + Kensington Trench Coat With Detachable Hood

Paddington would approve.

& Other Stories + Relaxed Trench Coat

Pastel, please.

Speaking of outerwear, you also can't spend your week away without a good blazer. For me, something that feels slightly different than what everybody else is wearing is a standout in this category.

Something Navy + Classic Blazer Tan Combo

You need this.

Reformation + Veda Bowery Leather Blazer

I've seen this blazer go out of stock multiple times.

H&M + Single-Breasted Jacket

An H&M blazer always feels so luxe when it arrives.

Jaquemus + La Veste D'Homme

The oversize fit wins again.

3. Midi Dress

I feel like nothing looks more elegant than a sophisticated midi dress. While I love my minis, choosing this style for my travels left me with no regrets. It's so easy to throw on before you head out for your adventures. 

Who What Wear Collection + Tiler Long Sleeve Dress

I felt so chic in this.

Staud + Wells Stretch Cotton Poplin Midi Fit & Flare Dress

My next buy.

Faithfull the Brand + Trapani Cutout Linen Midi Dress

You know how I feel about cutouts.

Treasure & Bond + Shirred Long Sleeve Midi Dress

Wearing white on vacation is a must.

4. Wide-Leg Trousers

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Wide-leg trousers are so elevated. When getting dressed for my flight, I almost pulled on sweatpants but talked myself into loose trousers, and I was so glad I did. I got many compliments without ditching comfort.

Totême + Wool-Twill Wide-Leg Pants

This color is everything.

Reformation + Amelie High Waist Wide Leg Stretch Cotton Jeans

Denim works too.

Open Edit + Cargo Wide Leg Pants

I could talk about cargo pants for days.

Loulou Studio + Noro Leather Wide-Leg Pants

I need these.

5. Retro Sneakers

When traveling, you can't forget a good pair of sneakers. I like to pack a pair that feels stylish but could also work for a light jog. This way, I don't have to bring two pairs of sneakers with me. Retro is the trend fashion editors are unanimously loving right now, so shop the below picks.

Tretorn + Rawlins Retro Sneaker

Cool girl, check this out.

New Balance + 997H Sneakers

Can't believe these are still in stock.

Tory Burch + Hank Sneaker

Mouth is watering.

Adidas x Wales Bonner + Sneakers

Any Adidas collab quickly becomes an obsession of mine.

6. Wearable Heels

I love my sneakers, but nine times out of 10, I'm going to wear heels. My legs deserve some emphasis, and heels obviously take any look to the next level. Comfort is definitely important here because you sometimes don't come back for hours when you leave your hotel for the day. You're in good hands with the below picks.

Open Edit + Cora Heel Sandal

I just ordered these.

Staud + Frankie Ruched Sandals

My Staud heels never cause me pain.

Vince Camuto + Semtera Block Heel Slide Sandal

Pastels for spring? I know, quite original of me.

Manolo Blahnik + Hangisimu 70 Embellished Satin Mules

I dream about these shoes.

7. Shoulder Bag

You're on vacation, so you deserve to be hands-free. Shoulder bags have my heart and soul right now. I don't leave the house without one. I'm loving a strong silhouette and shape to make it feel elevated.

Neous + Phoenix Leather Shoulder Bag

I've had my eye on this guy.

Jacquemus + Le Bambino Long Bag

Jaquemus does it again.

Biosa + Alligator Pattern Hobos Zipper Handbag

I'm taking every color home with me.

Burberry + Leather-Trimmed Checked Canvas Shoulder Bag

We love to see a designer bag with an excellent price point.

8. Statement Blouse

Don't we all love a good top? Ruching, puff sleeves, cutouts, and saturated colors make them even better. Having one on hand is a must, especially when you have multiple bottoms you can pair it with. 

Reformation + Fern Ruffled Gathered Peplum Top

I can always count on Reformation to make a good top.

WAYF + Avalon Puff Sleeve Bustier

When a corset and puff sleeves meet, it's love at first sight.

H&M + Crop Top

A good crop top for you beachgoers.

Ulla Johnson + Milla Top

It's not a want—it's a need.

9. Polished Jeans

And I must leave you with a good pair of jeans. If your current collection is missing a polished pair, then you're in luck. When I say polished, I mean a pair of jeans that can easily feel dressed up when you add tailoring and kitten heels. The below picks are pretty good.

Frame + Le Italien High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans

Loving dark wash right now.

Wandler + Poppy Straight-Leg Jeans

A unique shade of blue.

Levi's + High Waist Straight Leg Jeans

Kaia Gerber  has this pair.

H&M + Wide High Ankle Jeans

It's the frayed hem for me.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com , and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, rollerblading through New York City traffic, or exploring the latest luxury vintage boutique.
