The Capsule Collection

The building blocks of effortless style start here. Our Capsule Core collection features timeless pants, classic tops, and easy layers that mix, match and move with you. Curated for versatility, comfort and everyday polish — these are the pieces you'll reach for again and again.

What is a Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a versatile collection of clothes designed to be mixed and matched for various occasions, offering flexibility in creating outfits tailored to individual needs. Choosing quality items that fit well and complement your body shape simplifies the process of getting dressed. While maintaining a cohesive wardrobe, feel free to add your personal style and prioritize "dopamine dressing," which means wearing what makes you feel good!

Your journey to effortless dressing starts now!

Step 1: Start by working out what you actually wear. A simple trick? Turn all your hangers one way, and each time you wear something, turn it back. After a month, you’ll clearly see your wardrobe heroes—whether it’s a white shirt or classic jeans—and these are the pieces to build your capsule around.

Once you know where your wardrobe gaps are, use our handy list below to fill those in with timeless, quality pieces!

#1 The Reliable Shirt

The shirt is the ultimate wardrobe foundation—smart, versatile, and endlessly wearable. From crisp cotton to relaxed linen, it’s the piece that moves effortlessly between workdays and weekends. Layer it, tuck it, or wear it loose—the styling options are limitless. At Impulse, there is one queen of shirts and that is Mela Purdie, we suggest you look no further than our three best sellers!

#2 Enduring Denim

No capsule wardrobe is complete without a pair of hard-working jeans. Flattering, functional, and made to last, they’re the piece you’ll reach for on repeat. Style them up with a blazer or keep it casual with a tee—they never let you down.

#3 A Versatile Tote

Stylish and practical, the do-it-all tote carries you through busy days with ease. Spacious enough for life’s essentials but polished enough for any outfit, it’s the perfect blend of form and function.

#4 Perfect Coat

The right coat pulls every outfit together. Whether it’s a timeless trench or a classic wool style, this is the piece that makes stepping out in cooler weather feel effortlessly chic.

#5 Well Cut Trouser

A pair of well-cut trousers instantly elevates your wardrobe. Dress them down with sneakers and a tee or up with a blazer and heels. Flattering and refined, they’re the secret to easy, pulled-together style.

#6 Perfect White Tee

Simple, timeless, and endlessly useful—the perfect white tee is a non-negotiable. Wear it solo for casual ease or layer it under blazers, shirts, and knits. Crisp and fresh, it’s the ultimate blank canvas.

#colour_black

#7 Long Sleeve Base Layer

A true layering hero, the long sleeve base layer offers both form and function. Lightweight yet warm, it's perfect under knits, jackets, and dresses—but just as stylish worn on its own. With a flattering fit and refined finish, it holds its own as a standalone top, making it an essential piece for effortless, everyday dressing. A hardworking staple that bridges seasons and elevates your capsule wardrobe.

#8 Everyday Jewellery

Simple, stylish, and endlessly wearable —everyday jewellery adds just the right finishing touch without feeling overdone. Think classic hoops, delicate chains, and subtle rings that effortlessly move from day to night. Whether you’re dressing up a casual outfit or adding polish to something more refined, these understated pieces bring a touch of shine and personality to every look.

#9 Casual Black Pant

Comfortable, flattering, and versatile, black casual pants are a modern essential. Perfect for lounging, layering, or styling with oversized shirts and boots, they prove that comfort and style can absolutely coexist.

#10 Tank Top

A streamlined base layer and a chic standalone piece, the tank top/cami brings endless styling versatility. Tuck it into high-waisted pants, layer it under blazers, or wear it solo on warmer days.

#11 The Blazer / Smart Jacket

Nothing says effortless polish like a well-tailored blazer. Throw it on over jeans and a tee or layer it with tailored pants for a more refined look. Either way, it brings structure and style to every outfit.

#12 Versatile Knit

The perfect jumper adds warmth and style in equal measure. Choose soft, breathable knits that work layered over shirts or worn alone. Easy, comfortable, and chic—it’s your cool-weather go-to.

#13 Easy Skirt

Floaty or structured, midi or mini—an easy skirt brings feminine flair and versatility to your wardrobe. Dress it up with a blouse or down with a simple tee and sneakers.

#14 Party Dress

Elegant enough for daytime events, polished lunches or meetings, yet effortlessly elevated for the evening—the day-to-night party dress does it all. Its refined silhouette and versatile styling make it a wardrobe essential. It’s your one-and-done solution for a full calendar and a stylish, seamless transition from AM to PM.

#15 A Favourite Blouse

Elegant, easy, and endlessly versatile—the blouse is a quiet achiever in any wardrobe. From soft silks to fluid cotton, it's the piece that transitions seamlessly from day to night, work to weekend. Pair it with tailored trousers for polish, denim for ease, or layer under knits and blazers as the seasons shift. Feminine without fuss, it’s a timeless essential that adds instant sophistication to any look.
