In a fast-paced fashion world, it's easy to get lost in the trends and buy items that never get worn. The capsule wardrobe is an easy way to create the perfect collection you know you will wear. Containing 30 to 40 items, including footwear and bags, a capsule wardrobe limits over-consumption, decision fatigue, and material waste.

Not sure where to start? We got you – here's how you can create your ideal shoe collection for your capsule wardrobe, perfect for SS24.

The Flat and/or Loafer

When starting your capsule wardrobe journey, begin with the basics. A classic flat or loafer is a timeless choice that effortlessly merges with various styles.

Think minimalism, Quiet Luxury, or Balletcore – these shoes can elevate any look. Pair them with jeans, skirts, or shorts for a versatile and chic addition to your day or night ensemble.

The Heel

Heels are essential, especially ones that are comfortable to wear all day or night and can be worn for multiple occasions. Of course, you can opt for a classic black pump, but you can't go wrong with a block heel for extra support.

Not into heels? Maybe you haven't found the right one. Kitten and low-block heels offer the best of both worlds (and they're so cute!).

The Sandal

Your SS24 capsule wardrobe is incomplete without a solid pair of sandals. Whether you go for something classic like a slide or something trendy like gladiator sandals.

Ideally, choose a sandal that can be dressed up or down for the most versatility. Pair them with linen shorts for a laid back vibe or opt for a cute dress for your next dinner date.

The Sneaker

Sneakers are the epitome of stylish comfort and are a wardrobe essential. Choose a style that resonates with you, whether a retro sneaker, white sneaker, or athletic.

Sneakers effortlessly complement denim, tailored trousers, and dresses, making them the go-to choice for a casual yet chic look.

The Dress Shoe

Whether you opt for a loafer or lace-up, you want a style that works for multiple occasions, work and play. Pair them with slacks, clean denim and a blazer, or linen for a smart and clean look.

Brown or black leather are safe options as both go with almost any colourway, but the easiest way is to match the shoe to your belt.

The Sneaker

The style you can pull for every day, sneakers are casual, comfortable, and versatile – and they go great with sweats or slacks.

Whether you choose a cleaner option like a white tennis shoe or something sporty like an athletic sneaker, choose one you'll always want to wear.

The Casual Shoe

Everyone needs a casual shoe that can be worn daily for a casual or put-together look. Whether you opt for a loafer or lace-up shoe, choose the one that best fits your everyday style.

A casual shoe is great as you can pair them with denim, shorts, casual slacks, or cargos – it's an effortless style.
