10x10 Challenge | Corporate capsule wardrobe

Here’s to another 10x10 challenge. For this round, we’re creating a corporate capsule wardrobe.

We know having to make too many decisions in the mornings is the last thing we want — especially when we’re getting ready to head into the office, so we’re here to make it simpler! We hope you’ll find ways to style the clothes you already have and identify your own unique style along the way.

The 10x10 wardrobe challenge is simple: pick 10 items from your closet, create 10 different outfits, and wear them over the next 10 days. That’s it!

As long as you understand the basics of capsule wardrobes, you should have no problem completing this. The key is to use versatile items that match seamlessly and are in your chosen colour palette.

Ready? Let’s get styling!

For this challenge, we’ve picked a core colour palette of black, white, navy and beige with pops of colour to brighten up the wardrobe. By sticking to our selected palette, we just simplified this challenge.

The items we picked are a mix of casual and professional styles that can be easily mixed and matched with one another. They work well for the work-from-home lifestyle and are super soft and stretchy so you stay comfy while looking AND feeling like a million bucks.

• 3 tops (tank top, long sleeve + dress shirt)

• 3 bottoms (2 dress pants + a pencil skirt)

• 2 layering pieces (blazer + cardigan)

• 1 dress

• 1 pair of shoes (for this challenge, we’ve selected 2 different options given your preference of flats or heels)

Start with your favourites and add additional items according to those but remember, if something is not working, just swap it out.

Take your schedule and the weather into consideration. Do you have a big presentation and need to dress to impress? Or is there a big snowstorm coming and you need to layer up?

Keep in mind that accessories do not count towards your ten items so have fun with it. Try to match simple outfits with bold accessories and leave the simple ones for your bold outfits. Don’t forget to match the colours.

Overcoats and winter jackets do not count as your ten items.

Try out various combinations to find out what you like and what works for you. You may end up with a new way to style your old clothes and learn to love them again.

Make sure your list represents your unique sense of style and most importantly, HAVE FUN with it.

Here are the ten outfits we’ve created with Miik and Poppy Barley for our corporate 10x10 challenge. There are two more capsules (work from home + casual) that we’ve built so be sure to check them out too.

We hope this challenge simplifies your morning routine and gives you the inspiration to create MORE with LESS.
