5 Tops + 3 Bottoms = A Week of Outfits
The goal of a small wardrobe is to make clothes interchangeable enough that you can create many combinations from a manageable number of pieces.
Choose three bottoms with different roles
Start with one tailored trouser, one straight or wide-leg option and one skirt or alternative bottom.
Give the five tops different personalities
Use a simple tee, button-down, blouse, knit and one more expressive top.
Monday to Friday formula
Pair each bottom with different tops through the week, then repeat a strong combination with a different shoe or layer.
Add one layer and two shoes
A blazer, cardigan or lightweight jacket can change an outfit instantly.
