How to make your dream capsule wardrobe

As a tall woman, I have struggled to find high-quality pieces that will last and go with everything! Creating a capsule wardrobe is as simple as selecting a few key pieces that can be mixed and matched to create various stylish outfits. Here is your guide to finding the perfect six pieces to get you started!

1. Well-Fitting Jeans:

Zara's Wide-Leg Full-Length High-Rise Jeans, with a remarkable 37-inch inseam, are an indispensable addition to any wardrobe. Although they are not made as "tall" they fit me perfectly! I recommend these to all my tall ladies! Also, their universal appeal and versatility make them the ideal choice for both tall and average-height individuals. The bottom of the jeans are a raw hem allowing them to be cut to your likely so it works for the petite queens too!

These jeans, with their timeless style and high-rise comfort, offer endless outfit possibilities and can be paired effortlessly with various tops and accessories.

2. White Button-Down Shirt:

A classic white button-down shirt is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for different occasions. I have found it very hard to find shirts that are long enough in the sleeves and torso. My favourite go-to is from The Gap! If you search Women's Organic Cotton Perfect Shirt Tall, you will find your perfect button-up! American Tall also has great options!

3. Neutral-Colored Tops:

The next item necessary in making your capsule wardrobe is one or two neutral-coloured tops in shades like black, gray, and beige. These can be layered or worn on their own, and they provide a solid base for creating various outfits. I find it hard to find bodysuits which don't limit my movement due to the length of my torso. I have found great success at American Tall with sizes for tall and extra tall. By grabbing a grey T-shirt and a white/black body suit, you have endless possibilities, from pairing jeans to wearing them under a blazer!

4. Tailored Blazer:

Speaking of blazers, a well-fitted blazer instantly elevates any look! It's perfect for professional settings, as well as for dressing up casual outfits.

Amerian Tall's blazers are the versatile cornerstone of any wardrobe, offering endless styling possibilities. Whether you're striving for a professional and polished appearance in the workplace, looking to add a touch of elegance to a casual ensemble, or seeking a layering option to enhance your outfit, blazers excel in all these roles.

5. Little Black Dress (LBD):

The second last item is one we cannot forget! Every capsule wardrobe should include a little black dress. Look for one that suits your personal style and body shape. It can be your go-to piece for special events or evenings out.

Whether you're aiming for a sophisticated look at a formal event, a versatile and chic outfit for casual outings, or a canvas to showcase your favourite accessories, the LBD excels in all these aspects.

The beauty of the little black dress is that you can choose one that makes you feel like YOU! I personally love this one from Princess Polly! It comes in their tall line, and it is a staple in my closet! I have linked it right on this picture!

This is your sign to add this fashion staple made by the legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel to your closet!!

6. Black Heels:

The final item to add to your capsule wardrobe is a pair of black heels! I love this pair from ASOS! They have super-inclusive sizing too. I have struggled to find shoes in my size in the past as size 12 is hard to come by! Asos carries up to size 15! I would recommend these to all my tall ladies to dress up any outfit!

If heels aren't your thing, consider classic pumps, ankle boots, stylish sneakers, and comfortable flats to cover a range of outfits and activities.

With these six essential pieces, you can build a capsule wardrobe that suits your tall stature and allows for endless outfit combinations while maintaining a streamlined and stylish closet!
