A Capsule Wardrobe That Works in Indian Weather
Twenty-five pieces, cotton-heavy, that cover office, family functions and a weekend away.
A capsule wardrobe built for European autumn falls apart in an Indian summer. This one does not.
The base
- Four cotton kurtis in plain colours
- Two pairs of straight trousers, one black, one neutral
- Two pairs of jeans — one straight, one wide
- Three cotton or linen shirts
- Two everyday dresses
The occasion pieces
- One silk saree
- One suit set that can go to an office or a function
- One blazer
Then shoes: juttis, white sneakers, block heels, and a pair of flat slides. Everything else is addition, not foundation.
