How To Build A Capsule Shoedrobe

Let’s talk about when less becomes more. The minimalist lifestyle has been gaining traction over the past few years and has slowly but surely narrowed in on our wardrobes.

Many are looking to edit down their wardrobes to contain key pieces that can be paired together into outfits fit for work, play and everything in between.

What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a curated and fine-tuned selection of interchangeable garments that complement each other.

In order to perfect the capsule wardrobe, you also have to perfect the capsule shoedrobe. Keep reading to discover the styles that should have a spot in every wardrobe.

The Classic Heel

The classic heel is practically the basis of any capsule wardrobe. Let your style and day-to-day life guide you when it comes to nailing the right heel height, toe shape and coverage. A few of our favourite options for a classic heel are our strappy Swift, pointed perfection Wattle, midi-heeled Towhee and our low Marabou.

Classic doesn’t have to mean uncomfortable. All our heels have in-built support and cushioning that has been designed by a podiatrist. Our (crazy comfy!) footbed provides maximum support while you feel like you're walking on a cloud. Each consciously-curved bump is designed to improve leg alignment and aid foot function, our heels will have you feeling supported all day and night long.

The Comfy Sandal

Let's make sure you're supported, our women's sandals are just what your capsule shoedrobe ordered. You might not know the essential elements that make up a great sandal, but we're here to show you. Not only do our women's sandals look amazing but they're designed to look after your feet, too. A minimal sandal is a spring/summer essential and will go with nearly everything you own.

Opt for a neutral colour like tan, nude or black for versatility and wearability and look to strappy or closed-toe options depending on your lifestyle. A few of our favourite options for a comfy sandal are our hand-woven Chickadee, padded perfection Lora, Fisherman-style Fariywren and our strappy and chic Shelduck.

The Timeless Loafer

Loafers are basically the closest you’ll get to wearing slippers to the office. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a lot of you retiring your heels for a more comfortable option like a flat shoe. Whether you’re headed to a formal event, the office or after-work drinks, the loafer is a forever classic.

A pair of quality loafers will last you a lifetime, choose a pair in leather or suede and wear them in with socks first, to avoid dreaded blisters. Not only is the loafer a timeless staple, but their super comfy so that you can wear them on repeat. A few of our favourite options for a timeless loafer are our squared-off Curassow, monochrome Hummingbird, tasselled Duckling and our classic Hawk.

The Go-To Sneaker

Finding the right pair of sneakers will open up you up to a whole new way of dressing. A classic white sneaker will always reign supreme for keeping you comfy on your day-to-day. All our sneakers are fitted with our podiatrist-designed footbed, you’ll thank us later for the customisable fit.

Our fave sneaker for those constantly on the go is Jinzo. Not only are they our most sustainable sneakers yet but they are packed with supportive features your feet will absolutely love. A few of our other favourite options for a go-to sneaker are our fan-favourite Whimbrel, uber-comfy Hornbill 2 (hello, cute colours!), retroesque Skua and our tried-and-true Vireo.

The Transeasonal Boot

No shoe collection would really be complete without a trusted pair of transeasonal boots. Pair a classic boot with your most trusted straight-leg trousers, jeans or your favourite summer dress – the ultimate go-to outfit for between seasons. A few of our favourite options to take you through the season are our Western-inspired Tinkerbird, chunky-and-comfy Potoo, classic Chelsea Canary and our pointed perfection Triler.
