Help me to complete my capsule wardrobe
I love the scandinavian minimalist style and the idea of capsule wardrobe. I live in mild climate area that rains a lot in autumn and winter. Anyone have any suggestions that I can improve my wardrobe? I am thinking to get a winter coat that is water resistant, what style should I go for? I am also thinking there is not enough casual jacket, sometime 3 blazers in my wardrobe just feels too much. Also there is too much navy in my wardrobe.
Here is what I have in my wardrobe right now:
A bunch of solid white T-shirts
4 OCBDs in whte, blue and gray
1 off white flannel shirt
1 gray crewneck sweatshirt
1 navy merino wool sweater
3 pairs of navy chinos
1 pair of khaki chinos
1 pair of dark blue jeans
1 pair of navy chino shorts
A beige cotton linen blazer
A navy linen chore jacket
A navy LL bean anorak
A navy chino blazer
A navy bomber jacket
A gray wool herringbone jacket
A olive fishtail parka that is not water resistant, with detachable quilted lining
A yellow raincoat
A pair of white Tretorn Nylite
A pair of white minimalist leather sneakers
A pair of Clarks bushacre in beeswax
A pair of Bean boots

too much navy? impossible.
Seriously, though, we just discussed capsule wardrobes in depth like 2 days ago: https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1260264203332092018
given what you said you are trying to achieve, it seems like a pretty reasonable list. I would say your options are branch out or double down.
"Branch out" would be to try something that works with this wardrobe, but is a little different, adventurous, outside your comfort zone.
"Double down" would be to find the best representative of each item. The perfect pair of khaki chinos.
If you can't name what you're missing you're probably not missing anything at all
