According to her, the dynamic is simple: a certain number of bottoms for a few more tops and some overlap. To better understand the quantities and which pieces to invest in, Indira Magalhães explains how to create a capsule wardrobe with just ten pieces that allow up to 36 combinations. Watch!

1. Bottom

2. Upper parts

The tops will be responsible for giving the look a new look. According to Indira Magalhães, to choose these pieces you can follow the same principle as the lower pieces, but with an additional addition. “I suggest investing in neutral pieces that are easy to mix and match, but it’s worth adding a few styles in complementary or brighter colors.”

For the professional, four tops are ideal for a cabinet cold capsule. As an extra tip, she recommends opting for collared blouses, which give a particular charm to the outfit. Cropped tops and long-sleeved blouses for the start of the day are also welcome.

3. Overlays

To complete your winter capsule wardrobe, Indira Magalhães recommends investing in at least three pieces to overlap. “Cardigans, sweaters and denim jackets are great options for creating layers in your outfit.
