How to Turn Only 6 Pieces Into an Entire Week's Wardrobe

Take any off-duty model or street style star, and you'll notice that their best outfits are often created from the most basic wardrobe staples. Making a simple getup of jeans and a tee look like a million bucks is a lot easier to achieve than you think, thanks to an approach fashion girls swear by: a capsule wardrobe. This method is all about creating a core collection of versatile, fits-like-a-glove pieces that can be mixed and matched with one another for any occasion.
We put this theory to the test by taking six pieces, ranging from a luxe leather jacket to a must-have bodysuit, and creating a week's worth of covetable Fall outfits. Keep reading to see how we did it — we promise you'll never look at your closet the same way again.

Monday
Ease into the week with a simple combo of leather pants topped with a chunky sweater. The mix of textures gives the black and white palette a bit of edge, as do the leather backpack and ankle boots.

Tuesday
A lace-up chambray shirt paired with of-the-moment cropped flares breathes new life into the typical denim-on-denim look. Add a wide-brimmed hat and patent oxfords, and you've got an androgynous vibe that's perfect for Fall.

Wednesday
On Wednesday, we took the leather pants and restyled them with the it-piece of the season: a lace-up bodysuit. The additions of a bandana and a metal-tipped belt bring a subtle Western flair while still keeping the look streamlined.

Thursday
The same jeans from Tuesday take on a casual, cool-girl vibe when combined with a leather jacket and sneakers.

Friday
Go sporty for Friday by taking the chambray shirt and knotting it around the waist. The leather pants and baseball cap add a luxe touch that brings this casual look to the next level.
