What I learnt after ditching colour for a monochromatic capsule wardrobe
“If, like me, you feel your best in colour, then forgoing it entirely (even for a week) isn’t the most exciting proposition.”
When I was nine, I went through an obnoxious phase where I wore only purple (or some variation, like lilac) for a solid year. There was one particular outfit, consisting of crocodile print flared pants, a long sleeve top with a huge sparkly flower splashed across the front and chunky slip-on sneakers – all in a shade of purple, naturally – that neatly sums up two elements of fashion I still adore; colour and eclectic prints and patterns.
But the older I become, and the busier I get, the more appealing the idea of a uniform-like aesthetic is. In the fashion industry, this is what we’d call a ‘capsule wardrobe’. A wardrobe comprised of hard-working, multi-functional items that form the backbone of your everyday outfits.

So when it came time to figure out what I’d wear to this year’s PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival, I decided to forgo the ‘fun’ element of my style and challenge myself: for the entirety of the Festival I would wear a monochromatic capsule wardrobe.
I have to admit, I was a little wary. If, like me, you feel your best in colour, then forgoing it entirely (even for a week) isn’t the most exciting proposition. But being the intrepid investigative journalist that I am – if you consider reviewing clit sucking vibrators intrepid journalism – I was up for the challenge.
When you’re going monochromatic, a key consideration to keep in mind is the quality and style of the garments. Where colour and pattern can hide all manner of sartorial sins, like an item being ill-fitting or poorly cut, when there’s nothing to look at but the garment itself, the fit and quality of it really matters. I knew I needed a brand that prioritised these elements, and thankfully capsule wardrobes are having a bit of a moment right now, something that made my search for the right one a lot easier.
Our collective interest in whittling down our wardrobes and approaching fashion in a more considered way has seen rental businesses like Rentr. launch capsule wardrobes, where you can hire a cohesive selection of pieces from brands like Scanlan Theodore and Camilla & Marc. At the higher end of spectrum is the Christina Centenera-founded label Wardrobe NYC, which offers four- and eight-piece capsule wardrobes.

After some light online shopping disguised as research, I was pleased to find that sustainably-minded Melbourne label Arnsdorf is now offering its own eight-piece capsule wardrobe. Described as “a contemporary edit of eight key Arnsdorf pieces”, the capsule is functional but sleek. I’m fond of a suit for work-related events, which the capsule includes, but what really sold me was the Claire Tee. It has a particularly interesting curved neckline, and I felt it would provide the injection of ‘fun’ I anticipated I’d be missing.
