White Skirt

“A white skirt is a key staple in my capsule wardrobe and something I always reach for. I love styling it with a cashmere sweater, a simple tee, and a denim jacket. It’s one of those pieces that’s easy to dress up or down, depending on the day.” — Koszarek

Cardigan

“A cardigan is a classic and versatile piece that is a key staple in a capsule wardrobe. I wear mine often buttoned up as a top or draped over my shoulders.” — Koszarek

White Button-Down Shirt

“A classic white button-down is one piece I can always count on. It looks chic styled with jeans, trousers, or a skirt. It’s a must-have in my wardrobe.” — Koszarek
