Dapper Drama: How To Build The Ultimate Menswear Capsule

Since Susie Faux coined the term in the ’70s, the capsule wardrobe has evolved into an established standard for style. Think of it as a systematic way to organise your closet and in turn your style. The ideal capsule wardrobe is a mix of basics, classic pieces and selected occasion wear. These individual pieces are meant to be mixed and matched for every sartorial situation, from work to weekend getaways. We handpicked the essential pieces to create a failsafe menswear capsule that will take you from meetings to meet-ups with enviable ease.

Formal Style

Stack your wardrobe with well-fitted shirts, preferably in solid colours. A classic navy suit paired with tan shoes can never go out of style. Keep a few shades of ties handy for important days at work. Finish the look with a beater watch—choose a pair that complements varied formal ensembles.

Casual Cool

To build your casuals collection, start with crew necks and polo tees and a superior pair of blue jeans. A straight fit jeans and grey tee is a promising ensemble on its own or as layering items. Invest in a pair of multi-tasking white sneakers and an espadrille for summer days. Complete your bottoms with chinos in a neutral hue and tailored navy shorts. Put aside that dumpy backpack and pick a holdall duffle bag with a fedora and Wayfarers for outdoor sojourns.

Party Animal

Love to party? Here’s your option to ace the best-dressed lists at major events. A classic suit never goes unnoticed, especially when paired with a fine pair of dress shoes or suede brogues. Make room for clever detailing—load up on pocket squares, embossed ties, and metal cufflinks. For occasions that demand ethnic wear, a Nehru jacket sets the sophistication up a notch.
