how to rotate your capsule wardrobe seasonally — and the power of a great black jacket

a well-built capsule wardrobe is designed to last — but that doesn’t mean it stays static. with thoughtful seasonal rotation and one or two key pieces, you can refresh your entire look without adding clutter or chasing trends. one of the simplest, most powerful tools? a black jacket. when chosen well, it can anchor your wardrobe, elevate a casual outfit, or add structure to a flowing dress — all while seamlessly spanning the seasons.

seasonal shifts, minimal effort
the beauty of capsule dressing is flexibility. your favorite linen dress from plü doesn’t get tucked away in october — it gets paired with a cropped sweater and ankle boots for a cozy, effortless look. wide-leg trousers from umit unal, worn with sandals in summer, transition to winter with soft socks, a simple knit layer, and a heavier coat on top.

think in layers, not separate wardrobes. a neutral base, a shift in textures, and a few warm accessories are all it takes to carry your core pieces from one season to the next.

the black jacket — your capsule’s secret weapon
a well-cut black jacket is transformative. it doesn’t shout — it supports, sharpens, and elevates. whether it’s a sculptural piece from rundholz black label or a tailored silhouette from aleksandr manamïs, a black jacket adds instant intention to anything you wear.

throw it over a casual dress, and it becomes a statement. wear it with relaxed trousers and a gauzy top, and it’s city-ready. it’s the piece that makes last season’s outfit feel current — without needing anything new.

style ideas for every season

• spring: layer your black jacket over a flowing empire waist dress from sula, with a soft scarf and simple ankle boots.
• summer: drape it over a cotton jumpsuit or sleeveless plü dress for cool evenings.
• fall: pair with wide-leg umit unal pants, a cropped knit from aequamente, and a favorite boot.
• winter: style your black jacket under a longer coat for depth, or layer over a wool tunic and leggings for warmth without bulk.

rotate with purpose
seasonal rotation isn’t about reinvention — it’s about reimagining. see your wardrobe as a living collection: timeless, layered, and responsive to the moment. with just a few thoughtful additions — especially a jacket that works year-round — you create a wardrobe that evolves without expanding.

fewer pieces, endless style
when each garment is made with care and intention — as all of our designers do — it invites you to style with purpose. and often, it’s the simplest pieces that become the most powerful.
