A capsule wardrobe consists of essential items from which you can build core outfits. It means less clutter in the wardrobe and easier planning for days and nights out in style. Four to five polo shirts are a perfect addition to a man’s wardrobe.
Consider your lifestyle both work and social
How often do you wear polo shirts at the office and how many times do you go out to bars and restaurants? If you require a polo shirt for your workwear, consider a light colour for summer and a navy or black polo piece for winter. In between, add in a splash of colour, perhaps pink or a bolder green.
How many pieces are in a man’s capsule wardrobe?
The number of pieces in a minimalist capsule wardrobe ranges from twenty-five to fifty and this includes t-shirts, polo shirts, long-sleeved shirts, jackets, shorts, trousers and shoes as well as accessories. The aim is to create a few staple or timeless looks without using too many items of clothing.

How do I create a capsule wardrobe?
Start with t-shirts and choose two or three which are perfect for wearing under a sweater and teaming with jeans or chinos. Don’t forget the classic white and black top and of course your four or five varied polo shirts. A long-sleeved dress shirt and an Oxford shirt can also be added in, together with a chic checked shirt. Add in a crew neck and a v-neck sweater as well as a hoodie for more relaxed occasions. Your winter and summer wardrobes will vary, so add in a selection of light roll necks and a few chunky knit jumpers for colder weather
