I Was a VIPReplica Store Stylist, and I'm Reworking My Capsule Wardrobe—These 9 Items Are Now Staples

Building a capsule wardrobe can make the process of getting dressed even easier. If you're not familiar, it's the idea of curating a collection of staple pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a range of outfits. Sandy Koszarek, a former VIP Nordstrom stylist and content creator (she's behind Stylish Sandy), is a huge fan of capsule wardrobes.
She's helped many clients over the years develop their personal capsule wardrobes and also works on her own. On that note, she's in the process of reworking her spring capsule wardrobe and is sharing the nine new items that are now staples of hers to create her most stylish ensembles. Keep scrolling to check out and shop Koszarek's current must-haves to inspire your own capsule wardrobe.
White Skirt
"A white skirt is a key staple in my capsule wardrobe and something I always reach for. I love styling it with a cashmere sweater, a simple tee, and a denim jacket. It's one of those pieces that's easy to dress up or down, depending on the day." — Koszarek
Cardigan
"A cardigan is a classic and versatile piece that is a key staple in a capsule wardrobe. I wear mine often buttoned up as a top or draped over my shoulders." — Koszarek
White Button-Down Shirt
"A classic white button-down is one piece I can always count on. It looks chic styled with jeans, trousers, or a skirt. It's a must-have in my wardrobe." — Koszarek
Neutral Shoes
"I reach for neutral-colored shoes almost daily. They go with everything and are the perfect addition to any capsule wardrobe." — Koszarek
Blazer
"An updated blazer is a key staple in my capsule wardrobe and one I wear often. It's the perfect layer to elevate straight-leg jeans or to throw on over a little black dress." — Koszarek
Straight-Leg Jeans
"I love classic straight-leg jeans. They work with any shoe and always give that effortlessly chic look." — Koszarek
Cropped Trench
"A cropped trench is an outer layer I reach for often. It's a wardrobe essential and the perfect addition to any capsule wardrobe." — Koszarek
Striped Sweater
"I love how a striped sweater adds a little interest to any outfit. It's one of those classic prints that fit into a capsule wardrobe—easy to pair with denim, trousers, or a skirt." — Koszarek
Black Dress
"A little black dress is a staple in my wardrobe. I like a versatile style that's easy to dress up with heels or keep casual with flats or sneakers." — Koszarek
