This Chic Brand Just Created The Perfect Capsule Wardrobe — & It's 25% Off Right Now

Some mornings, getting dressed is just too much effort. Assembling an outfit that looks effortless yet chic, tailored but comfortable — with day-to-night potential if needed — can seem like an unattainable fantasy. One popular way to end the cycle lies in a capsule wardrobe, with coordinated separates that pair well together. For shoppers who are editing their own capsule or hoping to create one, Theory just launched a new collection that aims to make getting dressed as simple (and stylish) as possible.

Theory’s flared trousers, for example, would look just as polished paired with the brand’s tiny tee as they might with the sleeveless shell. The sleeveless sheath could be worn on its own, or you may layer the silk button-down shirt underneath for extra interest. And the blazers? Well, the blazers could top any of the tops or dresses — or the denim you have at home — and a trench can always be added for extra warmth if needed. Scroll on for a peek at the collection, including a few pieces from the menswear edit, in case you’re shopping for more than yourself. You’re bound to find more than one must-have classic.

The Capsule Collection

Theory’s OG Stretch Pants With A Slim-Cut Leg

Starting off with a brand signature, Theory sources the merino wool for these pants from farms in Australia, after which a mill in Tollegno, Italy, works its magic to create that iconic stretch wool. The result is a mid-rise slim-fitting pant with hook and zip closure alongside two slip pockets, and a cropped length that’ll look polished whether paired with loafers, sneakers, or stilettos.

This Formal Blazer With A Cutaway Front

If there’s no time to change between your busy day of meetings and that chic dinner, the Etiennette blazer has no problem with that. Fully lined, the tailored silhouette features peak lapels and a single-button cutaway front with a nipped waist for a sharp silhouette that’s easily dressed up or down. It’ll look just as incredible with the other items in your wardrobe as it will with other Theory capsule wardrobe items. (Try it as a chic topper to a formal maxi dress.)

Some On-Trend Flared Trousers

You may have noticed all the flared pants gracing fashion week runways, and the Demitria pant is a polished take on the trend in a silhouette that’s office-appropriate while still offering the opportunity to dress up or down. Designed with a mid-rise waist, hook and zipper closure, two side slip pockets, and back welt pockets, the brand’s stretch Good Wool fabric is creased in the front for a little extra panache. Pair the flared leg with heels, or tone them down Gen Z-style with sneakers. Either way, these pants will stay at the front of your closet.

A Clean, Classic Short-Sleeved Sheath Dress You’ll Wear All Year

The minimalist design of Theory’s sheath dress makes it ideal as a base for other layers like a blazer or sweater, but is structured enough to wear all on its own. Elements like a high scooped neck, universal short sleeves, and streamlined princess seams are elegantly tailored details. The mid-thigh length will look just right with so many styles of shoe: Ballet flats, a heel, boots — even a pair of white sneakers. A hidden back zipper maintains the unfussy yet refined silhouette. You’ll wear this dress constantly.

A Sleeveless Dress With Infinite Layering Possibilities

The styling possibilities are endless with this elegant dress. Worn on its own, it’s giving Audrey Hepburn sophistication.

The Perfect Base Layer: An Elevated Tee In Soft Organic Cotton

Theory crafted this breathable tee from organic cotton in a silhouette that’s fitted enough to serve as a base layer underneath cardigans or blazers while remaining polished enough to wear on its own. It has a high scoop neckline and short sleeves that aren’t too fitted, with a high hip-length that’s chic whether worn tucked or untucked. It also comes with options for long sleeves, a turtleneck, and V neckline.

This Short-Sleeved Sweater With Ribbed Trim

Combine the cut of your favorite T-shirt with the elegance of a knit and you’ll have Theory’s short-sleeved sweater tee. Its sumptuous merino wool adds quiet luxury to the high scoop neckline and short sleeves, ensuring the piece is structured enough to be included in office-appropriate ensembles, with a versatile hip-skimming length. Layer it under one of Theory’s blazers, over one of their simple sheath dresses, or wear it with a pair of their trousers. With this top, virtually any sartorial road you take leads to Rome.
