Your Sneaker Buying Checklist

Cushioning & Support: Thick, responsive soles (like HOKA’s meta-rocker) for joint relief. Look for shoes with technology that supports your specific foot type.
Materials: Leather for durability; mesh for breathability. Natural materials will often mold to your foot over time for a better fit.
Fit: Always size up 0.5 for toe room. Test by standing—no pinching! A poorly fitting shoe can lead to blisters and foot pain, so take your time to find the right size.

Color and Texture

Color Matching: Pair burgundy loafers with a sweater’s wine stripe, or let lemon-yellow heels pop against an all-black ensemble.
Texture Play: Combine suede boots with silk trousers, or leather sandals with a chunky knit. Contrast adds intrigue.

The key is to create visual interest. You don't have to match everything perfectly; you just have to make it work together.

The Rule of Quality

Since capsule pieces are worn frequently, invest in natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk) and sturdy construction. A $200 sweater worn 50x/year costs less per wear than a $50 one that pills after two washes. This "cost per wear" philosophy is a powerful way to justify investing in better-quality pieces. It saves you money in the long run.
