Your capsule wardrobe with Monpiel

What is a capsule wardrobe?

To give a bit of context, a ‘capsule wardrobe’ is a term that originated in the 20th century and has gained momentum over the years. Lately, we’ve been hearing about capsule wardrobes everywhere—on social media, in magazines, on blogs… and it’s a practice that’s becoming more and more popular today. When this concept first started trending, it quickly became the answer to the classic dilemma: “What should I wear today?”

The trend of creating a perfect capsule wardrobe is a practical and effective way to build everyday outfits using classic, essential pieces, while becoming more conscious, responsible, and sustainable in the way we consume. Investing not only in clothing but also in quality accessories is a way to support the environment through the slow fashion movement.

Leather accessories: the key to a capsule wardrobe

This now widely known term came from designer Donna Karan, who stated that a good capsule wardrobe consists of around 30–40 pieces in total, including shoes, bags, clothing, and accessories.

All these pieces are typically defined by minimalism, simplicity, and quality. The idea is simple: timeless items that never go out of style, that can be easily combined with each other, and last but not least, that you can wear for any occasion or event.

We completely agree with choosing basic and classic pieces for our capsule wardrobe. However, there’s something that is often overlooked: accessories make the difference. We strongly believe that if a garment is important, a good accessory is essential.

Leather shoes and bags: an investment that lasts for years

If there’s one thing that defines a good capsule wardrobe, it’s the durability of its pieces. That’s why investing in footwear and authentic leather bags is one of the best decisions you can make. So, if you’re putting together your essentials for this spring/summer, here are some key pieces to rely on this season:

A capsule wardrobe starts with choosing well

At a time when fashion is increasingly focused on responsible consumption and slow fashion, this concept has regained popularity. Building a capsule wardrobe doesn’t mean having less style, but rather choosing each piece better. Investing in a well-curated wardrobe means choosing quality pieces that will carry you through busy office Mondays, work meetings, and spontaneous plans...

Because in the end, basic garments are important, but the right accessories are what truly transform a look. That’s why at MONPIEL, our advice is simple: your wardrobe shouldn’t be without a flat ballerina, a special leather bag, and a good leather belt.
