It’s here!! I’ve had so many requests for another workwear capsule and this time I’m sharing great pieces that can work now and all year! I wanted to really find those staples that look great in the season but could also be mixed and matched for fall, winter and summer.
The pants in this capsule are ones that are STAPLES to have to build one season after season. I also tried to add in lightweight layers that can be worn under blazers or winter coats.
Also once I started putting together outfits I realized I wanted a few more options so I slipped in a 2nd color of the layering tank, coatigan and stripe sweater that all mix and match beautifully.
So let’s get started!!
THE PIECES
This season I picked from a variety of retailers to show you my *FAVORITE pieces from across my closet. Some are new, some are old but all are amazing. With that said here is the shopping list and my sizing recommendations.
I’m 5’5, size 12/14 with 36/38DD chest. TTS is short for true to size based on size guides and other items from that brand.

Now in a few of the pics you will see a tall boot and a white pair of sneakers I feel like these are great items to pull from your closet and mix in as you need them for your climate/ work. Also I had a difficult time mixing in the flats because all my pants were a bit too long but know that with a pointed toe shoe these can be intermixed.
BAGS
- Neutral Belt Pack
- YSL Crossbody Bag grayish brown
- Taupe Tote
- Black Tote
THE OUTFITS
These pieces are such classics that I know you will find a million ways to wear them but if you are doing true capsule and only mixing and matching items shown you can still put together enough outfits to fill almost 2 months of outfits!
Also if you need a more “dressed down” version of this capsule replace the pants with a black wide leg jean and darker bootcut jean and since all the neutrals work great with navy aka denim you are set!!
