10x10 Challenge | Work from home capsule wardrobe

We’re so excited to bring back another 10x10 challenge and for this round, we’re focusing on building a work-from-home capsule.

If you're looking to simplify your mornings or feel stuck in your outfit choices at home, this is perfect for you. The goal is to love the clothes we already own and learn how to do MORE with LESS.

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!

If you understand capsule wardrobes, this should be super easy for you. But to put it simply, you want to use versatile items so they match one another seamlessly and are in your selected colour palette.

Sounds simple enough, right? Let’s get started!

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 + button up shirt)
• 3 bottoms (Jeans, joggers + pants)
• 2 layering pieces (Blazer + cardigan)
• 1 dress
• 1 pair of shoes (for this challenge, we’ve selected two different options given your preference of flats or heels)

Pick a few of your favourite core pieces and add things that match them. If something is not working, swap it out and don’t stress!

Think about your schedule over the next ten days. Do you have a lot of zoom meetings or have planned plenty of outdoor activities? Take these into consideration and select your pieces accordingly. Don’t forget about the weather!

Accessories don’t count towards your ten items - take advantage of them to spice up your look.​​ Try to match your colours but don’t go overboard. Winter coats are another item that does not count toward your ten things.

Your list doesn’t have to look like ours - it’s about what works best for you.

Take a look at the 10 outfits we’ve created with Miik and Poppy Barley for our work-from-home wardrobe. We’ve also created two more capsules (casual + corporate) for this challenge so be sure to check them out after.

We hope this challenge helps streamline your routine, give you confidence in your wardrobe choices, and gain a better understanding of your personal style.

Experiment with different combinations and don't be afraid to mix and match your outfits. Your capsule wardrobe shouldn't be restrictive - it's all about finding items that work for you.
