Do you have a casual capsule wardrobe? Help please

I think I'm going to basically charity shop the overwhelming majority of my clothes and start again.

I would like some ideas for a capsule wardrobe - must be very casual but with the odd piece slightly smarter. Fed up with looking a mess in harem pants and scamp and dude sweatshirts but as I work from home (with occasional meeting out on the world!) I need something comfortable that I can throw on.

Prefer mid to higher end pieces as want stiff that will last - so... what's your idea of a casual capsule wardrobe? How many pieces are in it? And I can't possibly cope with two t shirts for example, but does buying 10 make a mockery of the word 'capsule?'

Which h&m t shirts did you go for? I've often bought from there but never end up with the same twice 😂

@Hb12 ha, it can be tricky can't it?

Here's the link .. these t shirts are ideal if you like them slightly fitted but not tight, short sleeves but not capped, scoop neck and a decent length. They wash well and are quite thick. Definitely feel more premium than the price

I have them in grey, cream, black, white and striped and they're a brilliant basic

@Laquila I hear you but yep, definitely my size. Boob or Bust do not measure me correctly and an F cup is bonkers on me

@AlpacaThatPicnic, what’s the sizing of the H&M tees like? I’m an 8 and can’t decide between XS and S...
