HOW TO BUILD YOUR 333 CAPSULE WARDROBE
By James Prescott-Kerr, 20 March 2024
Looking to build a capsule wardrobe but don’t know where to start? Enter ✨the 333 method✨ Coined by TikToker Rachel Spencer (@rachspeed), the concept is simple: choose three tops, three bottoms and three pairs of shoes, then create as many outfit combinations as you can. Whether you’re planning a big clear-out or just want to pack lightly for an upcoming trip, keep reading for some inspo.

ASOS DESIGN co-ord oversized hoodie in washed beige, £25
ASOS DESIGN t-shirt with crew neck in white, £8
THE TOPS
The foundation of any capsule wardobe has to be a plain white tee. Why? Cause it goes with everything – including this Carhartt jacket and ASOS DESIGN hoodie, which are also great layering basics. Keep the colour story neutral for max styling potential.
ASOS DESIGN baggy jeans in light wash blue, £34
Weekday loose fit cargo shorts in brown, £44
Topman wide leg textured trousers in black, £50
THE BOTTOMS
Washed jeans are an evergreen staple when it comes to everyday dressing. For something a bit more formal, opt for relaxed tailoring like these black trousers, and for upcoming sunny days – beige cargos are a necessity. Versatility? These items have it in spades.

Air Jordan 1 SE low trainers in white and red, £129.99
ASOS DESIGN loafers in black leather with chunky sole and contrast stitch, £64
THE SHOES
We're channelling high-low dressing with this footwear rotation. Timberlands and Jordans give a streetwear edge (the sneaks can be made more formal with a tailored trouser, though) and loafers AKA the shoe of the moment are a typically smart style, but can be easily dressed down – try them with the white tee, Carhartt jacket and wide-leg trousers.
