Baseline

It is not a typical interchangeable capsule wardrobe with many outfits, but a wardrobe consisting of a single modular outfit. It is built from pieces which each serve a technical purpose, with little overlap or redundancy between them. They must adhere to the functional requirements of daily life and interact with the wearer to enhance their experience.

From the ethos of simplicity, a uniform is created—a personal uniform crafted through my philosophy of gradually simplifying aspects of my life. The wardrobe ends up being relatively large, but strives to remain truly utilitarian, to cover all seasons and scenarios for daily living.

Layering could be discussed here but one of the main properties of this capsule is simplicity. There is only one real way to dress at any particular temperature or environment.

In terms of aesthetics, the primary goal is to avoid compromising on functionality and utility; this leads to many of my pieces being 'techwear' or adjacent. Most of my clothes are purely black with a few 'statement' exceptions such as one shirt, one t-shirt, a pair of wool gloves, and a neck gaiter. These, whilst not purely functional, are essential to creating small variation in colour.

Overall, I think I achieved the desired outcome with this capsule, allowing me to move on to other things while continuing to dress coherently, functionally, and in an interesting technical style.
