<p>How does one create a capsule wardrobe? Putting together a wardrobe that works for you takes time, patience, and practice. But once you’ve got an idea of your foundational pieces and with the right help, it should be easier to work out what you’re missing!</p><div><br/></div><p>Just in time for <strong>Women’s Month</strong>, <strong>SM Woman</strong> organizes a styling session for SM’s discerning patrons featuring the stylish <strong>Stephanie Dods</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774326740187IG CAROUSEL Template.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo by Vyn Radovan for Metro</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Stephanie is an Australian/New Zealand-born content creator who has gained influence in Manila for the past ten years. Her experience as a fashion buyer and her expertise in interior design makes her a brilliant style creator. </p><div><br/></div><p>During the style session, Stephanie let us in on her secret to acing an outfit from head to toe, with the help of pieces from SM Woman. As the brand is known for its curated collections that blend style with everyday practicality, SM Woman is the go-to destination for the smart woman looking for versatile, on-trend pieces. Her first tip? Build your outfit in threes: top, bottom, and a layer/jacket. Keep it simple and elevated with clean lines and add texture, whether it be through a silk top or a light tweed jacket.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774327274596viber_image_2026-03-24_12-09-24-455.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo Courtesy of SM Woman</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Second, try out the 60-30-10 rule in interior design when playing with color. It’s a timeless design principle used to create a balanced color scheme. To apply, use 60% of a base outfit with a dominant base color, 30% as the secondary color, and 10% for an accent color. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774327288337viber_image_2026-03-24_12-09-29-836.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo Courtesy of SM Woman</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Stephanie’s final tip? Your wardrobe should reflect your lifestyle. “Your wardrobe isn’t just about looking good, it’s a practical tool that should support how you actually live,” Stephanie continues, “I’m a boy mom so I run around often (haha). I don’t wear many dresses but I love denim. They’re so versatile and easy to wear.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVvrcJME_2y/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1155833.9%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1173" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Above all, Stephanie thinks that when something fits really well, it automatically looks more expensive and polished. “I’m really impressed with SM for their tailoring service. It really helps petite women like me find the best fit for blazers and trousers,” says Stephanie.</p><div><br/></div><p>Explore SM Woman’s selection of womenswear pieces at an SM Department Store near you.</p>
