How To Build A Capsule Wardrobe Around Knit Polos

What is a Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a small, curated collection of essential clothing that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of looks. The focus is on quality over quantity—versatile pieces you truly love and will wear often.

It saves time, reduces decision fatigue, and ensures you always look put-together.

With timeless staples like knit polos, you can create endless outfit combinations without overbuying.

 

 

Easy, clever, and infinitely adaptable — the knit polo is the foundation of a classic resort or casual wardrobe. 

Whether you're minimizing your luggage or updating your essentials, this single garment can serve as the foundation for various outfits in different environments. Here’s the process for creating a capsule around it:
