In addition, they have fall-themed color offerings, including noir red and navy blue that can be dressed up or down.

Vainqueu’s favorite layered fall look was for the Viktor & Rolf Paris Couture Week fashion show. “I styled Jordyn Woods for Paris Couture Fashion Week [in] a wool tweed piece,” she said. “The structuring of the jacket, [and] the way we were able to cinch her waist, it just gave a couture vibe.” To recreate this look for your own fall capsule wardrobe, this button down setis amore casual, everyday approach to Woods’ upscale look.

What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?

According to stylist Amiraa Vainqueu, a capsule wardrobe is “a curated collection of essential pieces that entail some core timeless essentials for different seasons or occasions.” The collection features about 10 to 12 staple items that can be used to create different outfits. These staple items allows people to explore their fashion sense, headache-free and in their comfort zone. “It’s also to make your decision easier and less stressful when it comes to figuring out what to wear,” Vainqueu told 21Ninety. “For people who don’t have a stylist, the fewer items that all work together is better for getting dressed because it becomes faster and easier.”
