CAPSULE with COLOR using your season to curate a quality

THE CONCEPT OF CAPSULE IS CENTERED AROUND A PHILOSOPHY THAT SEEKS QUALITY AND INTENTIONALITY.

It’s a lifestyle that values versatility, craftsmanship, and aesthetics to create a bespoke collection of durable items that offer long-term reliability and stand the test of time. A capsule wardrobe is, well, a capsule itself. Still, as quality over quantity weaves through our homes, we’re exploring capsules in unexpected spaces of everyday life, from kitchenware to travel essentials to home decor and seasonal bedding. The concept of a capsule isn’t complicated, but assembling a collection of caliber and individuality - now that’s a challenge. There’s a dependable power in a wardrobe pieced together with everlasting classics - but only if it’s filled with steadfast items you genuinely love to wear. When put on display, the silhouette of your capsule collection should cover all the fundamental bases. Still, regarding each item’s personality, it’s your chance to steer clear of the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-absolutely-anyone looks by working in thoughtful pieces that help you stand out from the rest - cue the seasons. We’ve all seen the TikToks and colorful filters that help us uncover our seasonal color analysis. It’s like a style cheat code that identifies the unique palettes that naturally complement our skin tone, hair, and eyes by categorizing them into seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). When used correctly, this powerful tool can be used to choose clothing and accessories that enhance your innate beauty, making you look more vibrant and confident - no, really, it’s mind-blowing what the proper hue of blue can do for your jawline. Using your seasonal color analysis to center your jewelry collection provides an insightful guideline to building a jewelry wardrobe of not just basics - but an enduring assortment of classic pieces bursting with personality and synergistic vibes that make your features pop. In short, color will give you options for lasting staples that are distinctive and authentic to you.

Many free online resources help identify your color season - the “Drape Test” from Vivaldi Color Lab, for example. Once you’ve unlocked your season, it’s time to rethink those essential jewelry pieces that might be dragging you down. Jewelry is front and center—it can spark your natural glow or cause your coloring to fall

flat. So why settle for ‘meh’ when you could have magic? Ditch the dull and explore our fresh, standout pieces that are anything but ordinary. These instant classics will breathe new life into your look, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
