How does a capsule wardrobe work?
One colour everyone shares, one pair of pants, layers that stack in rising warmth, and two shoes: one for dry days, one for wet.
All ten are sold in black, so any top goes with any layer. The layers stack in order of warmth, pullover, fleece, vest, then jacket, and any two sit together. Add your own tees and jeans and the ten cover September to November.
What sizes do the capsule pieces come in?
Tops start at XS or S and reach XL to 6XL, the pants run waist 30 to 40, and the shoes run from US 6 or 6.5 to 14.
The shirt is the only piece with a published chart: the
CoreOps Button-Up Shirt chest measures 42.5 in at S, 44.1 in at M, 45.7 in at L and 47.2 in at XL. The vest has the widest run, S to 6XL. The fleece stops at 2XL; above that, use the pullover. For every letter across the store, see the Adam & Westcott size chart.
