The 10 Best Capsule Wardrobe Brands

Honestly, capsule wardrobe pieces can be found almost anywhere. Brands can vary depending on your style, body shape, climate, and budget. This post contains the brands I frequently shop for when building a seasonal capsule wardrobe. If you are looking to start your own capsule in 2023, shop these retailers for capsule essentials you’ll be wearing for years to come!

My capsule wardrobes usually contain neutral, casual, timeless items. The particular garment determines the amount I spend & which retailer to shop from. I typically spend a little more on versatile pieces that get the most wear, as I want the pieces to withstand the test of time. For items that I will wear less, maybe for only 1-2 seasons, I tend to shop at more affordable retailers.

When it comes to saving money, pre-loved clothing sites are a great resource for finding higher-end items at reduced prices! I’ve had a lot of luck getting like new items this way!

What are the best retailers for capsule wardrobe clothes?

Capsule wardrobes are very popular these days. Many women are more intentional shoppers and strive to create a smaller, more versatile wardrobe. Because of this, many brands offer items that could be incorporated into a capsule wardrobe.

You will want to focus on brands that offer a wide range of quality, classic items for your wardrobe. These are some of the best capsule wardrobe brands I personally love to incorporate in a capsule wardrobe.

1. Able

Able strives to empower women through fashion. Their mission is truly incredible and supportive of women who purchase their clothing and also the women who make their clothing. I wrote a blog post all about able last year! They have a great denim jacket and white cotton button down shirt, both of which I’ve worn countless times over the past year.

2. Everlane

Everlane is best know for their stylish, modern, and timeless wardrobe staples. They are a popular pick when it comes to capsule wardrobe essentials. Everlane products are high quality and always on trend, making them an easy addition to any wardrobe. Their jeans (see below) are some of the most worn pairs in my closet. They get better with each wear!

3. Quince

Looking for the best fabrics at the best price? Quince is one of the best capsule wardrobe brands for this! Here you will find affordable silk, organic cotton, cashmere, and leather! This cashmere sweater (wearing in the photo above) is a staple in my wardrobe and is a must for every winter capsule wardrobe. The $50 price tag simply cannot be beat. I also love the silk slip skirt!

4. Abercrombie & Fitch

This is an iconic brand that I shop mostly for essential pieces at an excellent price point. When it comes to denim, their jeans are hard to beat for the price, especially when on sale! Other capsule items to shop here are layering tees, tanks, and body suits. I personally reach for Abercrombie basics the most and they hold up exceptionally well over time.

5. J.Crew

Layering pieces are essential to capsule wardrobes, that is why J.Crew made this list. They are well known for coats & blazers. I particularly love to include sweater blazers in my capsule wardrobe as a comfortable alternative to structured blazers. Other capsule pieces to shop here include sweaters and footwear! Tip: Shop off season for huge savings on pieces you’ll wear for years to come, such as coats, blazers, and boots!

6. Mango

Another great brand, at a moderate price point, is Mango. The brand offers a wide variety of clothing in a wide array of colors and patterns. Don’t miss out on their clothing basics, there is an impressive selection of effortless & chic pieces to incorporate into any capsule. I’m a huge fan of the Mango coatigan and find it to be an essential piece in my own fall and winter wardrobe.

7. H&M

H&M made the list for being one of the best capsule wardrobe brands for their stylish budget friendly selection. Especially if you are new to creating your capsule wardrobe, it can be overwhelming and expensive! The good news is that you’ll find great pieces at H&M that pair well with higher ticket brands on this list. The H&M site can be overwhelming, so I’ve narrowed down a few of my favorite capsule items below.

8. Amazon

It’s no secret, you can shop for just about anything on Amazon. Capsule wardrobes are no exception. While clothing in general is hit or miss on Amazon, there are some great pieces I personally recommend and love from Amazon that are great quality. The Amazon Essentials collection is also a great source for basic wardrobe items. Many of the essentials are highly rated! Below are a few Amazon finds (of various brands) I have in my personal wardrobe, including the top in this photo.

Additional Capsule Wardrobe Brands

Last but not least, two of the best capsule wardrobe brands on my list to try! While I do not personally own any pieces from these brands (yet), just browsing their sites it is clear they are front runners when it comes to capsule wardrobes.

9. COS

Another brand with a mid-range price point is COS. Here you will get what you pay for, quality wardrobe pieces. The minimalist, yet chic, style will compliment any capsule wardrobe. Sweaters, jackets, and knitwear are a few items worth noting from this brand. They also offer a variety of other clothing items, shoes, and accessories.
