The capsule wardrobe edit for sizes 12 to 26

A capsule wardrobe sounds like a great idea, but it can be overwhelming to know how to start putting together a clothes edit that can see you through any occasion. Curating a collection of wardrobe staples can also be expensive, and hard-to-find basic items if you aren't straight-sized.

City Chic's new Elevated Essentials Collection is a great way to add some key pieces to your wardrobe to maximise its potential. The pieces can take you from day to play, and are available in sizes 12 to 26.

Available in-store and online, here's a look at some of the most versatile pieces you'll be able to wear through all seasons:

Ivy Bomber Jacket, now $111.97

Give a classic look a fresh twist with this jacket. It has a button front, ribbed elasticated accents on the collar, cuffs and hem, plus a waist-length crop. It gives a sleek, snug fit and is an ideal trans-seasonal addition to your wardrobe.

Stripe Lilia Jumper, now $62.97

Everyone needs a striped knit in their wardrobe. This relaxed fit has a slight stretch to it, a round ribbed neckline, and long sleeves with rib cuffs.
