I recently tried Amazon’s Prime Wardrobe, Try Before You Buy Service and was pleasantly surprised! I went into this wanting to build a Fall Winter Fashion Capsule Wardrobe and had a few weeks of cold weather left here in Ohio.
I loved all 6 items and created 5 different outfits / looks total. Today I’ll be sharing five flat lay outfits from Amazon that I carefully curated for the start of a capsule wardrobe.

Ok, so What's A Capsule Wardrobe Exactly?
I’ve been super into this concept for awhile now, but have never really made it a priority until now. I see the benefits of having less items in my closet, only for the season(s) I am in or in between and either donating at the end of the season or packing them up carefully and saving them for the next season ahead.
Especially because a capsule wardrobe that’s made up of neutral, timeless pieces can work out really well!
A capsule wardrobe is a minimal collection of stylish, versatile pieces that can be worn in a variety of combinations. Designed to save time, money, and stress even; Timeless pieces can be worn for MANY years to come and be easily swapped as the seasons change.

fall winter capsule wardrobe ideas from amazon
I went for classic, comfy and cute for these 6 items ordered with the Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try Before You Buy program. I also wanted to challenge myself to put together as many outfits from these 6 items as possible, as a way to practice the art of creating a capsule wardrobe that I’ll be able to pack away at season’s end and wear again next year!
10 ways to get started creating a fall and winter capsule wardrobe as a beginner
Here are some things I’ve come up with for other beginners like me. I hope this helps you get started!
- Research trends if that’s important to you. Research the latest trends in both fall and winter fashion. Pinterest to the rescue here! Anyway, a little research will help you decide which pieces fit best with your style.
- Make a list. Make a list of the BASIC items that you need to build a capsule wardrobe. I decided that quality plain tees, a thinner sweater, a comfy sweatshirt, a red flannel shirt and incredible pair of jeans would all be things I’d want to wear next season, too.
- Focus on quality. I didn’t have a large budget. In fact my box total cost was $145 with tax. But I did make sure to choose quality items that would last me this season, next and hopefully another year after that!
- Choose neutral colors. I know that neutral can be a bit boring, but hear me out. Sticking to neutral colors like black, white, brown, grey, and navy will help you create many outfits from minimal items. PLUS you can always buy a few extra in-season items that are full of color or pattern to really spice things up!
- Invest in basics. Sweaters, jeans, jackets, cardigans and blazers are easy to mix and match AND they are just fashion staples, regardless of trends (in my humble opinion).
- Layer it up, girl! Layering is the secret to creating a successful capsule wardrobe that you won’t get sick of before the next season even starts. Try layering items to create unique looks and don’t be afraid to play with accessories here. That’s the fun part!
- Speaking of…add a few accessories. Accessories are a great way to add personality to your outfit. Hats, beanies, jewelry, belts, and cute scarves can totally spice up your look.
- On a budget? Shop secondhand! Some of my absolute FAVORITE items that lasted me years were practically brand new at the thrift store. Here’s a tip for you, if you’re into luxury brands; Shop thrifted stores in fancy neighborhoods.
- Invest in quality shoes, my friend. A good pair of rain boots (I love the ones I ordered because they don’t really LOOK like rain boots at first glance), sneakers and fashion boots can really pull an outfit together. Try to find a pair or two that can be worn with multiple outfits.
- Finally, have fun creating a wardrobe that brings you JOY! Don’t forget to have fun while creating your capsule wardrobe. Experiment with different styles and pieces to find the looks that make you feel confident, sexy, cool and shows off all those positive vibes ya got going on over there.
