2 Winter Capsule Wardrobe Items to Invest In
2 Winter Capsule Wardrobe Items to Invest In
By Penelope Sandlin - December 24, 2025
Styling outfits in the wintertime can be quite the challenge. However, dressing warm without sacrificing style can be made simple with the right items. The key is to create a winter capsule wardrobe that allows for layering, mixing, and matching. If you are looking to update your wardrobe to become winter-ready, these two items are worth investing in.
1. A Winter Coat
When styling even the most basic outfit, a nice coat goes a long way. Coats can add color, texture, and personality to an outfit, which is exactly what you want when working with the simple pieces in a capsule wardrobe. Coats are versatile and can be either a statement piece or a simple layering item. If you are looking for a coat that will keep you warm on a night out, but will not take away from your outfit, leather, suede, or fur coats are great options. If you are styling an outfit for a leisurely walk or a daytime outing, puffer, quilted, or field coats may be exactly what you need.
2. A Pair of Boots
Another capsule wardrobe staple that can be paired with almost any outfit is a pair of boots. Boots are versatile pieces that can serve many purposes in your winter wardrobe. They can transform a simple outfit into something classy and fun, or they can be the element that emphasizes the winter feel of a look. If you are planning outfits with neutral, cool-toned pieces like whites, browns, and muted blues, look into investing in off-white or suede boots. Similarly, if you are building an outfit with darker basics like black leather or brown tights, a pair of black boots can be the perfect finishing touch.
The best part about both of these pieces is that they work well together. Finding a coat and a pair of boots that complement the rest of your wardrobe can set you up for the entire winter season.
