I used to think that maximizing my wardrobe meant constantly buying new clothes - until I learned how to build a minimalist wardrobe. With just a few essentials, I've been able to put together outfits that look great and can go anywhere from the office to the great outdoors. One piece that quickly became a favorite of mine is my Oliver Charles sweater.

It was then that I realized buying high-quality pieces like the OC sweater was key to building a sustainable and long-lasting wardrobe.

When putting together a capsule wardrobe, it's so important to pick pieces that are sustainable, long-lasting, and will add real value to your life. For me, a versatile, high-quality sweater is a must-have.

My Oliver Charles sweater, made from yak wool, is perfect for all seasons. It goes with everything and easily layers for year-round wear. It keeps me warm in the cold and cool in the heat, and its durability means it will last for a long time, saving me from having to replace it.

I think it should be labeled as "The Everyday Sweater” since it’s a piece that can be used from your wardrobe daily. This essential sweater is a gem and you can easily curate several outfits with this piece, just like I did. It’s a walk in the park, I mean, a walk in your closet!

The Simplicity Of A Personal Uniform: How An Oliver Charles Sweater Is Key To My Year-Round Outfits

I've been having a blast creating my 6 everyday outfits. With my trusty Oliver Charles sweater, this exercise was easy - all I had to do was mix and match a few of my other favorites with it. These included:

• 2 solid tops
• 2 patterned tops
• 2 blouses/button downs
• 1 blazer
• 1 pair of dark-wash jeans
• 1 pair of light-wash jeans
• 1 pair of trousers pants
• 1 skirt/shorts
• 1 heavy coat
• 1 lightweight coat
• 2 pairs of shoes

To make it even simpler, I organize my clothes in my minimal closet so I can see everything at once. I keep my bottoms like pants on shelves where I can see them, and my skirts hung up, so they're also in plain sight.

I like to pair my gray Oliver Charles sweater with my black and neutral pieces since most of my skirts, pants, and shoes are black. And with just a handful of key pieces, like pants, a skirt, shoes, tights, a coat, a belt, and a scarf, I was able to make 6 versatile outfits that I can wear all season long. Voila!

Why Everyday Sweaters Are Ideal For Outfit Repeating

My sweater has been the perfect building block in my closet. I love how I stopped thinking about what I was going to wear because I planned in advance and defined my capsule for the season.

I wasn't sure if I could make it work with just 16 core pieces to mix and match, but I've been really happy with how it's turned out. I feel like people are always surprised when they find out how few clothes I actually own, because I've been able to make it look like I have a lot more by being creative with my outfits.

It's kind of like magic - it seems like I'm constantly buying new clothes, when really I'm just using what I have in new ways, It seems like I keep shopping for more clothes when I don’t swipe my card.

The beauty of having a minimal wardrobe is that I've spent less money while continuously curating outfits from the thing I know I love to wear.

If you believe that every good wardrobe starts with owning less and owning better, consider buying yourself an OLIVER CHARLES sweater.
