There is something to be said for classic clothing items that are elegant, practical and easy to match with the rest of your wardrobe. That’s where Issue Clothing Company comes in with their edited capsule collections that contain key pieces which not only work together beautifully but also make up the perfect versatile base for dressing each season.
Now that Autumn has arrived with its often unpredictable weather, it’s about investing in the right garments that can work on their own or when layered to keep you warm. The brilliant thing about the pieces from Issue Clothing Company’s Autumn range is they’re cut to skim but not hug your frame too tightly, so the silhouette is flattering and works for many body types.

LBD
The LBD is a must-have piece for every woman and has long been an office to evening staple. Whether you’ve teamed it with a blazer and heels for work or with some statement jewellery and a sleek clutch for cocktails, an LBD is one of the most versatile garments you can have in your wardrobe. The best thing about a dress is it’s already an outfit on its own and you can’t go wrong with black.
Cigarette Pants
Simple but chic, the cigarette pant is easily dressed up or down and its narrow fit has a leg-lengthening effect. Choose a neat white or striped shirt for a polished look or a colourful knit top to make your outfit more playful. Go for natural fibres like wool which are wonderful to wear in winter as they keep you warm but still breathe, which helps when the weather is being temperamental.

Pencil Skirt
A knee-length skirt is an excellent way to add a feminine touch to your outfit and the longer length makes it refined and practical. Choosing a flounced hem means it will be easy to move in and comfort is definitely important when it comes to skirts. Pair it with a silk top for a sophisticated look or utilise a shirt, blazer and handsome heels for work.
Striped Shirt
Stripes are a classic look and a stylish way to make a shirt more interesting. Embrace a striped shirt tucked or un-tucked depending on how fitted the pants or skirt you’ve teamed it with are. Choosing a wrinkle-resistant cotton is important so it stays looking fresh and crisp too. If you’re feeling chilly layer a knit or blazer over the top for warmth.
Tailored Blazer.
Tailored Blazer
A black blazer that’s tailored to flatter your shape will never go out of style and is always a good investment. It’s definitely an office essential and works with a dress, skirt or pants but can be just as useful for adding sophistication to a more casual look too. Autumn is the perfect time to choose a great structured blazer that will see you through the cooling weather.
These five key items are a brilliant way to start building your own capsule wardrobe and will quickly become favourite pieces on high rotation this season and beyond.
From April 10th – 15th Issue Clothing Company will be having a pop-up shop at Ponsonby Central in Auckland.
