Build a Capsule Wardrobe Guide

Help me build a capsule wardrobe that actually works for my life.

My lifestyle: [DESCRIBE — office job / casual / both / lots of events]
Budget to build it: [£AMOUNT — can be spread over time]
Climate: [UK / warm / mixed seasons]
Style I'm drawn to: [e.g. minimal / classic / relaxed / smart casual]
Biggest wardrobe problem: [nothing to wear despite full wardrobe / everything mismatches / outdated]

Build my capsule wardrobe:
1. **The core 20-piece list** — specific items, not vague categories
2. **What to shop for first** — the foundation pieces to buy now
3. **Colour palette** — a cohesive selection where everything works together
4. **Where to buy** — for my budget, best shops or sites
5. **How to spot a true capsule piece vs a impulse buy** before I shop
6. **How to fill gaps over time** — building it without blowing the budget at once
