Creating a jewellery capsule wardrobe: less is more

We all know that feeling of standing in front of our wardrobe, unsure of what to wear, despite having plenty of options. But what if we told you that a simpler, more curated approach to your accessories could make life easier and more stylish?

Enter the concept of the jewellery capsule wardrobe – a collection of timeless, versatile pieces that work with your personal style and can be mixed and matched for almost any occasion.

Here’s how to build a jewellery capsule wardrobe that will elevate your style while keeping things minimal. 

What is a jewellery capsule wardrobe?

A jewellery capsule wardrobe is essentially a carefully curated collection of pieces that reflect your personal style and can be worn repeatedly across various seasons and occasions. The goal is to invest in quality, timeless jewellery that works for every outfit and minimises decision fatigue. It's the jewellery equivalent of a capsule wardrobe for clothing - essentials that you love and wear often.

Step 1: Assess your style

Before you dive into curating your collection, take a moment to reflect on your personal style. Are you drawn to bold, statement pieces or do you prefer delicate, understated designs? Do you tend to wear gold, silver, or colourful acrylics? Consider the types of outfits you wear regularly and think about which jewellery would complement them.

At Toolally, we believe in offering pieces that are as versatile as they are beautiful, so whether you’re after striking earrings for a night out or understated hoops for everyday wear, there’s something for every style.

Step 2: Choose your core pieces

A jewellery capsule wardrobe should be built around versatile, timeless items. Here are the essential pieces to consider:

1. Statement Earrings


A bold, eye-catching pair of statement earrings can instantly elevate any outfit. Toolally's geometric acrylic earrings are perfect for making a statement while remaining modern and stylish. Choose one pair that reflects your style and can complement both casual and dressy looks.

2. Classic Hoops


A pair of gold or silver hoops is a must-have in any capsule wardrobe. They are endlessly versatile, adding a touch of elegance or edge depending on how they’re styled. Toolally's range of hoop earrings features a variety of shapes and sizes, so you can find the perfect pair that suits your face shape and style.

3. Delicate Necklace


A dainty, everyday necklace can be worn alone for a subtle look or layered with other pieces for extra flair. Whether it’s a simple gold chain or a pendant with personal significance, choose something that’s versatile enough to be worn daily but also meaningful to you.

4. Stackable Rings


Rings are an easy way to express your style without much effort. Stackable rings allow you to mix and match, creating different looks each day. Choose a few classic designs that can be worn alone or stacked together for a unique combination.

5. Minimalist Bracelet


A thin, minimalist bracelet is a quiet, elegant addition to any outfit. Whether you prefer a simple gold bangle or a delicate chain bracelet, it’s a piece that adds just the right amount of shine to your wrist.

Step 3: Play with Layers and Mix Metals

Once you have your core pieces, the fun begins! The beauty of a capsule wardrobe is its flexibility. Mixing and matching pieces allows you to create new looks every day. Try layering necklaces in varying lengths, combining delicate rings with bold pieces, or experimenting with mixing gold and silver. Toolally's pieces are designed to be mixed, so don’t be afraid to layer materials and colours to create an eclectic yet cohesive look.

Step 4: Prioritise Quality Over Quantity

When curating your jewellery capsule, it’s important to invest in high-quality pieces that will last. Instead of buying a large quantity of cheaper items, opt for fewer, well-made pieces that will stand the test of time. Toolally's jewellery is crafted with premium materials like acrylic, resin, super-thick layers of 18ct gold, and sterling silver, ensuring that your pieces will be durable and retain their shine for years to come.

Step 5: Adjust for Special Occasions

While the focus of a jewellery capsule wardrobe is on versatility and everyday wear, don’t forget to include a few special pieces that you can bring out for events. Whether it’s a pair of elegant earrings for a wedding or a bold necklace for a dinner party, make sure your capsule wardrobe has a couple of standout pieces for those occasions when you want to make a statement.

Step 6: Keep It Clean and Organised

Finally, to ensure your jewellery capsule is easy to access and maintain, organise your pieces in a way that’s visually appealing and convenient. Use jewellery trays or organisers to keep everything in its place, making it simple to grab what you need in the morning. Regularly clean your jewellery to maintain its shine and prevent tarnishing.

Why a Jewellery Capsule Wardrobe?
