The Quiet Luxury Capsule is an example of a custom capsule wardrobe we created for our client Benjamin Merrill, a J.D. Candidate at York University in Toronto.

Ben is not an extravagant dresser. He prefers understated items with a minimalist sensibility that can be described as “quiet luxury”. He avoids trends and focuses on timeless items with fit and texture. His work is best described as “business casual” and he wanted items that can float “down the middle” (between “dressy” and “casual”).

Now this is my kind of guy - and my kind of wardrobe. 

Below are the 12 items we created for Ben - and some of the many different outfits he can create by mixing-and-matching these items in different combinations.
