My 34-Piece Cozy Casual Winter 2024 Capsule Wardrobe + 10 Outfits
In this post, I’m showing everything in my own Winter 2024 capsule wardrobe, which includes tops, bottoms, layers and shoes, in mostly neutral colors and minimalist, classic styles. My capsule wardrobe is based on the Simplified Style®: Athleisure Foundation Capsule Wardrobe, plus a few trending items for the season. I’m showing everything in my own capsule wardrobe in my closet.
For those of you that follow the Classy Yet Trendy blog, you know that I have been using a capsule wardrobe in my closet for several years. I absolutely love using a capsule wardrobe every season, as it helps me get dressed quickly and easily everyday. A capsule wardrobe is a small set of clothes and shoes, which all mix and match, so you can have dozens of outfit combinations ready to wear. Using a capsule wardrobe lets you focus on more important things in your life and takes the stress away from getting dressed.
My full-time job is working at home creating capsule wardrobes and content on Classy Yet Trendy. Since I work at home, I like to wear casual styles like jeans, pants, tops and layers. Because our winter season is mostly mild and our temperatures can fluctuate, I included layers such as cardigans and a zip hoodie (mainly to wear inside the house), vests and a puffer coat.
I created my capsule wardrobe for my closet based on the Simplified Style®: Athleisure – A Year-Round Foundation Capsule Wardrobe and added a few extra items trending for the season. In Simplified Style®, there are 400+ outfit combinations for the entire year, capsules for all seasons, outfit calendars and more!

Simplified Style®: ATHLEISURE
My Color Palette
For this Winter 2024 season, I chose Black as the base color for my capsule wardrobe. I chose black as my own personal preference, so if you are referencing this post to create your capsule wardrobe for the season, feel free to use your favorite neutral base color (other base colors can be navy, gray, brown, etc). I added a few pieces in burgundy as an accent color.
The capsule wardrobes I share from my own closet every season are clothes that I have in my own closet and is my personal style. Everyone has their own personal style as well as color preference in clothes and may be based on the weather where you live, so your wardrobe may be different from mine. Feel free to use my capsule wardrobes here on the blog as inspiration for creating your own! While I don’t have a guide of outfits for my own personal capsule wardrobes, feel free to follow along on my Instagram account @classyyettrendy, where I share outfits I wear from my capsule wardrobe throughout the season, as well as outfit collages and outfit ideas!
Minimalist Style
My favorite styles are ones that are classic, simple and minimalist. I prefer to wear mostly solid, neutral colors and rarely wear patterns. I do enjoy wearing patterns , (my favorite is stripes) and sometimes, like florals, dots, etc, but I wear solid colors more, so those are the ones I mainly include in my capsule wardrobes.
Since my favorite colors are mostly neutrals and blue, I chose those colors primarily for my color palette! This season, I also added burgundy.
If you need a complete wardrobe for the season, then you may enjoy using one of my “ready to wear” capsule wardrobes in other styles available in the Capsule Wardrobe Store!
How Did I Create This Capsule Wardrobe?
I created my own capsule wardrobe for my closet based on my foundation capsule collection, Simplified Style®: Athleisure Foundation Capsule Wardrobe. I also followed the 4 steps in my blog post, How To Start A Capsule Wardrobe: An Easy 4-Step Visual Guide to create my capsule.

A Bit Of Inspiration For Your Day:
“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.” – Psalms 130:5
Leanne, I love this capsule! One thing I always have trouble with is socks. Do you have any favorite socks you like to wear with your Chelsea boots, for example? And do you wear athletic socks with tennis shoes and leggings?
Thank you,
Anne
Great Winter Capsule! I too live where the weather can fluctuate like crazy (NC)…parka one day and flip-flops the next! LOL
I took advantage of your sale and bought several of your year-round capsules, including the Athleisure Capsule, and have already put them to good use! I’ve been able to find great Black Friday deals for core pieces and your capsules saved me the time and energy of having to hunt for these pieces!!! Thank you! I even purchased the Men’s Capsule as a gift for my son. 😀
P.S. I would LOVE a cozy/winter loungewear capsule! 😉 My criteria: super soft, cozy, and warm with enough style to be seen outside my home if need be or unexpected guest rings my doorbell. 🙂
Anne,
Thank you for your questions! I did a collaboration with Bombas a couple of years ago and loved them so much I have been slowly building my sock collection with Bombas. My feet get cold easily in the cold months and I have found my feet don’t get cold when I wear Bombas socks. I prefer Bombas socks over my Adidas socks and Under Armour socks I have been wearing for years. Use my Bombas referral link here to get 25% off your purchase: https://refer.bombas.com/x/menw5s.
I wear the Ankle Socks with my athletic sneakers and leather sneakers and are my favorite (link: https://rstyle.me/+i7yQNwP98NIW_lsl0I9afQ)! Last month I ordered the “soft white” color Bombas Lodge Socks to wear with my Chelsea Boots with leggings and they are perfect (link: https://rstyle.me/+4VEeTaBXlCeYnjwhTzd9FA)!
Leanne 😃❤️
Thank you Amy!
Thank you Amy! I’m so glad to hear you found lots of Black Friday deals for your capsules. I tried my best to create the winter capsule more quickly this time so that everyone could prep their capsule wardrobes with the Black Friday sales.
I have been to North Carolina many times and love your state! My most favorite place to go is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Also love the Biltmore Estate and Asheville is a beautiful town; we were saddened at the effects from the hurricane earlier this year to Asheville.
Leanne 😃❤️
