Building a capsule wardrobe filled with easy-to-style pieces is no easy feat, even if you consider yourself *amazing* at shopping. While you probably have a few pieces kicking around already, there’s a good chance your capsule wardrobe isn’t complete (or could use an update for the chillier seasons ahead). From classic essentials like button-down shirts, blazers, and jeans to accessories like leather belts and boots, these foundational pieces can be used to create a ton of chic and adaptable looks — and most of them can be found on Amazon Canada.
The aim of the game is to find yourself pieces that stand the test of time. A well-curated closet of pieces that can be styled up and down will make getting dressed in the morning a total breeze (and, honestly, who doesn’t want that?). All pieces can be mixed and matched, allowing you to effortlessly transition from day to night, from casual to formal, and from season to season. So, whether you need one more basic tee or a new trench to finish your closet of staples, we’re here to help.
Here are a few Amazon Canada pieces you’ll want to add to your capsule wardrobe.
The Drop Jersey T-Shirt (This link opens in a new tab)
A plain white tee is a great base layer and stand-alone piece. This one is made of super-soft cotton and is slightly fitted, so you may want to size up if you prefer a looser look.
Available in 12 colours/patterns and in sizes XXS—5X.
Levi’s 501 Original Fit Jeans (This link opens in a new tab)
If you haven’t found your go-to pair of jeans yet, Levi’s 501s are tried and true. The straight fit never goes out of style and they’re made of high-quality denim, meaning they won’t stretch out on you.
Available in 18 colours/styles and in sizes 24—40.
20% Off: Hoxis Oversized Vegan Leather Tote (This link opens in a new tab)
While you probably have your fair share of canvas bags, a leather tote is definitely a more versatile option. This one is super soft and large enough to fit your laptop or a small grocery haul.
Available in five colours.
The Drop Midi Slip Dress (This link opens in a new tab)
Pop on a pair of heels and your favourite jewellery and you’ll be good to go to any event with this midi dress. When you don’t feel like doing the whole ~fancy~ thing, you can pop a tee or sweater overtop to keep things casual.
Available in 25 colours/styles and in sizes XXS—XXL.
Shaperx T-Shirt Bodysuit (This link opens in a new tab)
A buttery-soft bodysuit is essential for any good capsule wardrobe. Unlike regular shirts, they won’t bunch around the waistline, so they pair well with tighter trousers. P.S. This style comes in tee, tank, and long-sleeve styles.
Available in 14 colours/styles and in sizes XS—XXL.
Hanes EcoSmart Fleece Sweatshirt (This link opens in a new tab)
This unisex fleece sweatshirt will be your favourite piece this fall and winter. It’s cozy, medium weight, and will be *chef’s kiss* for layering.
Available in 50 colours and in sizes XS—5X.
Whippy Faux Leather Belt (This link opens in a new tab)
Finish off your look with a classic leather belt. This one has a chunky buckle and can be worn high on the waist or slung low around the hip (there are seven notches to play around with).
Available in six colours and in sizes S—XXL.
Up to 30% Off: Orolay Trench Coat (This link opens in a new tab)
A double-breasted trench is the perfect outerwear piece for in between seasons and you can’t convince me otherwise. You can opt for a bolder colour, like cherry red, if you’re in the market for a statement piece.
Available in 10 colours and in sizes XS—XL.
Zeagoo Satin Midi Skirt (This link opens in a new tab)
Mini skirts undoubtedly deserve their place in your wardrobe, but there’s something about a longer hemline that makes a piece feel a bit more versatile. Thanks to the silky material, it’s easy to dress up for more formal events, but you can also wear it with a tee for more casual occasions.
Available in 19 colours and sizes XS—XL.
20% Off: Famarine Gold-Plated Huggie Hoops (3-Pack) (This link opens in a new tab)
Elevate your jewellery game with gold huggie hoops. They’re simple, stylish, and go with every look. Plus, this pack includes three different sizes that you can swap out or stack together if you have multiple piercings.
Available in seven finishes/styles.
