After dressing with a capsule wardrobe for a year, I feel that prescribing what should be in a capsule wardrobe is counter-productive. I would make up my list each season, and dutifully include a skirt in the "bottoms" section and a white button-down in the "tops" section, and a pair of heels for "dressy occasions,"…

I wear my tux to the cotillions and delightful 1950s cocktail parties I attend in my mind.

2x suits, 1x tux, 3x blazers, 2x bowties... is this an essential list for Downton Abbey?
