Winter is fast approaching. Layering is a staple for the long and cold winters. Often known as a “capsule” wardrobe, this set of clothes will stay timeless and classy. Here are ten ideas for winter clothing staples:
1. Turtlenecks
Turtlenecks serve as a great layering base. They look great under sweaters, sweatshirts, or even a short-sleeve shirt.

2. Scarves
Scarves are both practical and stylish. You can accessorize any winter outfit with a scarf.

3. Black dress
It is slightly too chilly for a little black dress, so a long black dress is perfect for the winter. Either long sleeves or a longer dress can help keep you warm. It can be dressed up or dressed down and even layered.

4. Oversized coat
A coat is an everyday staple in the winter. Oversized coats will fit all of your layers underneath and should be able to match almost every outfit.

5. Weather-resistant boots
While Uggs are super cute, they are not weatherproof. For a good capsule wardrobe, consider investing in durable and fashionable boots so you can always be prepared.
