A capsule wardrobe isn't a minimalist trend for fall travelers, it's a packing strategy that actually works: ten pieces that mix into a dozen-plus outfits beats a suitcase of one-and-done items every time.
Build it around one outerwear piece, two bottoms, four tops, one dress or set, and two pairs of shoes — one for walking all day, one for dinner. Everything should share a color story so nothing gets left behind because it doesn't match.
The real test of a capsule is the third day of a trip: if you're still excited about what you're wearing instead of digging for something new, the capsule worked.
