Capsule Shoe Wardrobe: Trainers & Flats

Shoe Wardrobe Essentials

When building a capsule shoe wardrobe I recommend every woman has at least one pair of chic trainers or a pair of classic neutral flats. While these shoe capsule essentials are year-round must-haves, choosing the pair(s) that will work for you will depend on your personal style.

Building A Capsule Shoe Wardrobe

When building your capsule shoe wardrobe there are things to consider. Including color, cost, quality, comfort, and timelessness. Let’s delve into each of these factors below!

First, is the color of your shoes. When building out this capsule shoe collection, you’ll want to look for shoes that are in neutral colors. Some examples are black, nude, gray, ivory, navy, beige, and blush. These colors will likely complement the clothes you already have in your closet, making it easier to pair your new shoes with the clothes you already own. And these colors are so timeless, they never go out of style.

Next is the cost and quality. How much are you able to spend on these shoes? If you’re looking at shoes made with real leather or suede, you should plan to spend a little more. But the quality of these shoes will be better, meaning they’ll last longer. And when building a capsule wardrobe of any kind, quality is so important. So think carefully about your budget.

Who wants to wear shoes that are uncomfortable? Shoes in your capsule wardrobe are supposed to be shoes that you wear time and time again. So they need to be shoes that you will reach for often. And you’re not going to reach for uncomfortable shoes. So to get the most wear out of your pieces, you need to make sure that the shoes are comfortable enough that you’ll reach for them regularly.

Finally, timelessness. The whole point of a capsule shoe wardrobe is to have shoes that will go with everything in your closet, that you can mix and match with many different outfits. This is not the place for the newest and trendiest shoe. These shoes are timeless and classic so that you can wear them for years to come.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Closet

To recap how to get the most use out of your capsule shoe wardrobe, look for shoes that are neutral colors. You should plan to spend a little more for real leather or suede, as the quality is better and the shoe will last longer. Another thing to consider is comfort and practicality. Are these shoes comfortable where you will realistically want to reach for them? Lastly, it’s important to consider classic timeless shoe styles when choosing the shoes for your capsule wardrobe.
