I'm a Former Nordstrom Stylist—This Is My 6-Piece Cozy Capsule Wardrobe
We're always intrigued by Jennifer Sattler's insight given her industry experience as a stylist and blogger with Closet Choreography and past work with Nordstrom. On that note, she recently shared her version of the minimalist capsule wardrobe. Well, Sattler let us know that she actually just created a fall and winter capsule that is focused on cozy staples that are equal parts comfortable and chic.
Below, you'll find the six pieces that Sattler believes are winter essentials because they can be mixed and matched to create chic looks. "It was so much fun to merge effortless style and real life to create this cozy capsule wardrobe," Sattler said.
Keep scrolling for more, including styling visuals and testimonials from Sattler along with a range of product recommendations.
1. Chunky Cardigan
"Warm up when you wrap yourself up in a cozy cocoon cardigan. Consider cashmere if you're looking for the ultimate luxe layering piece that goes with everything."
2. Flared Leggings
"Keep even your most casual pieces current by updating their silhouettes. Add a fresh flare-leg legging to your cozy capsule this season."
3. Hoodie-Jogger Set
"The ultimate cozy duo. Wear them when you travel or take them no further than your front door."
4. Bootcut Jeans
"Flare-leg jeans are still a popular style. Rotate in a dark wash this winter and wear them with block-heel boots when temperatures drop."
5. Long-Sleeve White T-Shirt
"A soft long-sleeve white T-shirt makes a great base layer and also looks good solo."
6. Utility Jacket
"A utility or camo jacket is a classic wardrobe warrior. You can mix and match the entire cozy capsule and make more outfits when you put one on over leggings, jeans, or joggers."
