Help me build a casual winter capsule wardrobe!

[Miss888]

I went through all my clothes and Vinted them in the summer. Now I need a new capsule for the winter. I have jeans so not worried about them, but would like some new tops and bottoms - not too expensive, I'm thinking M&S, Mango, H&M, John Lewis
Anyone fancy helping me/us build a 'casual' capsule wardrobe for the winter

What colour scheme do you fancy

Dark greens and blues. Burgundy would be good too

I like these

Have a look at Next ‘the set’ collection. I’ve just bought a couple of cardigans from there - dark olive green and clay red/brown - and some coordinating t-shirts and have had compliments on them.

I’m an enormous fan of Uniqlo knitwear. The merino, the cotton and the cashmere all washes very well

I asked ChatGPT as I’m useless. It was brilliant and I’ve almost completed my capsule wardrobe on a limited budget.
Now to clear out all the stuff I don’t wear.

If you've now got a vinted budget, use it! I did a huge clear out last winter and sold everything on vinted, using the money to replace them with brands that I don't spend the money on new. I got some lovely jumpers from & Other Stories, COS, Mint velvet, etc

What footwear and outerwear are you thinking? For me they’re key especially in winter when they’re what you see most. Personally I’ve bought an olive green Crombie style coat (sale bargain) and am looking forward to resurrecting my cherry red DM boots.

I agree that’s a brilliant place to start, outerwear and boots/footwear. You will probably get more wear from these than anything else.
What style and length of jeans do you have?

I’ve just got these cord leggings from Next in black. They’re a nice fit and look a bit smarter than “normal” leggings. Got them in black, they also do grey, burgundy and brown. They look good with my low biker boots, my smarter knee high boots and with chunky trainers. Would be easy to pair with a multitude of tops.
