How many pieces are in a capsule wardrobe? There’s no fixed number, but most capsule wardrobes fall between 10 and 30 pieces. The Design Edit offers a 12-piece starting point for fall, covering outerwear, knits and layering essentials.

What are the best neutral colors for a capsule wardrobe? Warm neutrals including camel, black, gray and soft brown work best for a capsule wardrobe because they layer easily with each other and carry over from summer to fall without a full wardrobe reset.

What are elevated basics? Elevated basics are simple, high-quality staples, like a wool sweater or tailored trouser, made from quality fabrics. These are timeless pieces that layer well, last for many years and form the foundation of a simple wardrobe.

How do I transition my wardrobe from summer to fall? Add a few key neutral fall pieces like a wool coat, a check shirt or a knit sweater to your warm-weather wardrobe. Building around one seasonless color palette makes the summer-to-fall transition seamless.
