The Guerre Capsule

The Guerre Capsule

The Guerre Capsule is an example of a custom capsule wardrobe we designed for our friend and client Karl-Edwin Guerre.

Guerre is a menswear industry veteran. He's been a photographer, writer, stylist, brand consultant - and most recently he has launched one of the premier menswear publications; No Chaser Magazine.

For his AOS capsule, Guerre wanted to focus on two Summer suits that can 1) dressed-up or dressed-down and 2) be mixed-and-matched together in any combination. 

So we started with a black seersucker and a cigar linen (two of my personal favorite lightweight suits) - then we added some versatile pieces that can be styled with both suits (or seperates) to give him a range of outfits from "formal" to "casually chic".

Below are the 10 items in Guerre's capsule. See the photo gallery for some of the 25+ different outfits he can create by mixing-and-matching only these 10 items in different combinations).
