Famous Ukrainian designer Andre Tan shared tips on how to build the perfect wardrobe for fall 2025. The stylist explained which basic items to focus on to look stylish every day without spending extra.
What is a capsule wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of carefully selected basic clothing items that are easy to combine.
Its main idea: minimum clothes, maximum outfits.
All the pieces in such a wardrobe match in style, color palette, and cut, which makes it possible to quickly create stylish looks without wasting extra time or money.
A capsule can be seasonal or universal, but always consists of high-quality, practical items that never go out of fashion.
Key elements of a capsule wardrobe
White shirt
A classic that always works. A white shirt fits both business and casual looks. It can be worn with jeans, skirts, under a sweater, or with a blazer. It gives neatness and elegance even to the simplest outfit.

Straight-leg jeans
This is a universal model that suits almost any body type. Straight jeans can be combined with heels, sneakers, a T-shirt, a shirt, or a sweater. They never go out of style and perfectly balance comfort and style.

Basic T-shirt
Most often in white, gray, or black. It serves as a background for brighter elements of the look or works on its own in minimalist outfits. A basic T-shirt is a must-have that literally goes with everything.

Blazer
A structured blazer adds a touch of strictness, conciseness, and style to the look. It can be worn with classic trousers, jeans, a skirt, or even a dress. The most versatile option is a neutral-colored blazer (black, beige, gray).

Black classic trousers
Indispensable thing for the office, but can easily be a part of casual looks. Classic trousers with creases or straight are a base that adds strictness and sophistication. They pair well with T-shirts, shirts, blazers, or oversized sweaters.
