I recently wrote a post on creating a summer wardrobe capsule using the column of colour concept (which helps you look taller and slimmer) for summer. And I know that even though the northern hemisphere is coming out of winter and heading towards summer, we in the southern hemisphere are sadly saying goodbye to summer as we head towards winter. You may have noticed with my last capsule example I used very light colours which is great if you have light colouring, but you can work with this concept with any color range.
Here is one for spring/autumn or when a climate is temperate. You can see I’ve used a darker neutral base of navy for this capsule. Remember if you want to create the true column effect you need to wear a jacket over the top of the coloured tops to make an outside column, though you don’t need to wear a third piece when wearing a dark top with your navy or dark bottoms. You could also add in a waistcoat/vest that is sleeveless if you don’t want the extra warmth of a jacket or cardigan, but it will help to give you your column effect whilst still allowing you to wear coloured tops (and not get too bored!).
