Wardrobe Reset: My Must-Have Capsule Staples

If I had to rebuild my wardrobe from scratch… these are the pieces I’d start with.
After 20+ years as a stylist, I’ve helped hundreds of women go from “I have nothing to wear” to effortless, elevated style—starting with fewer, better pieces.

Because when your closet is packed but nothing feels right?
It’s a sign you’ve outgrown the chaos.

These are the timeless staples I always recommend—essentials I reach for again and again, and would repurchase without hesitation.

✨ Think: clean lines, elevated neutrals, layerable textures, and silhouettes that actually flatter.

Tap each item for fit notes and links. Whether you’re starting fresh or refining what you already own—these are the pieces worth investing in.

➕ Cashmere sweater (draped or worn)
➕ Patterned scarf (adds personality without effort)
