A basic wardrobe for women in ten pieces

Short answer: Ten pieces cover a normal week: underwear and socks as groups, two bras, three tops, a long sleeved top, a pair of soft trousers and a set of nightwear.

Underwear and socks

The two most important groups. See bamboo underwear for women.

Two bras

One for everyday and one in the wash. See bamboo bra without underwire.

Three tops

In neutral colours, so they can be worn with everything. See bamboo t-shirt for women.

One long sleeved top

The most useful piece in the transitional seasons. See long sleeved bamboo t-shirt for women.

Soft trousers

For days at home and travel. See bamboo sweatpants for women.

One set of nightwear

Two sets if you want to be able to wash without going short. See bamboo nightwear for women.

Choosing colours

Few colours mean everything can be worn together. See how to build a capsule wardrobe in bamboo.

What can wait

Seasonal items such as tights and shorts can be bought as the season approaches. The basics are worn all year. See bamboo clothing for women.
