Your path to a timeless wardrobe

SEW YOUR OWN CAPSULE WARDROBE

Do you know that moment when you stare into your wardrobe, hoping to find the answer to life's big questions? We've been there and know it's not always fun. But here's the solution: a basic wardrobe.

It's like having a secret superhero in your wardrobe, ready to rescue you when you're in a hurry in the morning or feeling lost in the clothing jungle. Your basic wardrobe is the key to timeless style and convenience. It's a collection of clothes that say something about you and your lifestyle, and it makes dressing easy.

Your basic wardrobe is the items in your wardrobe that last season after season, can be easily mixed and matched - and save you from any wardrobe crisis.

These are the reliable and versatile styles that fit your personal style and make it easy for you to put together everyday outfits.

Capsule wardrobe

You've probably heard the term "capsule wardrobe" from the fashion magazines, which is the way to a personal, authentic and timeless style.

We've gathered a selection of our very best fabrics and patterns to ensure you get the styles you can always rely on, wherever you go.

The white shirt is a classic that never goes out of style. It can be used for both formal and informal occasions. Style it with a teddy vest and a pair of jeans or corduroy pants for a casual look.

Knitwear can add both style and functionality to your wardrobe. It is both practical and timeless and can be used all year round. See how you can add a cool twist with either a scarf or a beanie.

Denim is versatile and can be styled in many ways all year round. It can be dressed up or down. Here you'll find examples of a denim shirt that can be combined with either a sweatshirt or a simple t-shirt for different looks.

Likewise, a good pair of jeans is an essential part of your basic wardrobe. For example, choose a pair of dark navy jeans or black jeans that you can pair with almost anything.

Although sweat is usually associated with casual outfits, it can be styled in different ways for a more formal or trendy look. Wear a sweatshirt with jeans and sneakers for a casual style or under a blazer for a more polished look.

We have a large selection of beautiful french-terry, perfect for sweats. We even have matching ribbing  for most colors.

The black dress is an essential part of any wardrobe, as it can be worn for both everyday and festive occasions. Style it with a long-sleeved top underneath for a more everyday look and add your favorite jewellery for that extra touch.

We have a huge selection of dress fabrics and many great dress patterns. Use them to create "the little black one" that you can use year after year.

When it comes to jewellery, think of it as the icing on the cake. Freshwater pearl necklaces, earrings and bracelets add an elegant touch to your outfit and are suitable for both formal and informal occasions.

And while you can get great jewellery in many places, you can also easily make it yourself! We have a huge selection of beads, locks, chains, tools and much more. See everything for jewellery making here. 

When it comes to materials, quality is the key to a durable wardrobe staple. Think of it as investing in yourself. Good clothes last longer and are an investment in your style and comfort.

Colors

Color is another important factor. Neutral colors like black, white, grey, beige and navy serve as the base of your wardrobe. They're like the canvas on which you can add color and pattern with accessories like scarves, belts and bags.

So let's take it in small steps. First of all, let's look at your wardrobe. Have you ever considered sewing your own clothes? It may sound intimidating, but it's a great way to express your personal style. You decide the design, colors and materials. You can shop fabric from sewing projects here. 

And if you're afraid to sew, don't worry! We have plenty of easy patterns, that are perfect for beginners. So why not give it a try? Your unique creations will give you a sense of pride and satisfaction, and you'll never look at clothes the same way again.

The best thing about your basic wardrobe is that you can mix and match the elements, especially if you stick to neutral colors and patterns.

Here are a few suggestions for you.
