Capsule wardrobes are making a big comeback, offering a timeless alternative to the rapidly changing trends that now seem to shift every few weeks. To get a true sense of the vision and easy style behind capsule wardrobes, who better to ask than the founder of Capsule Collection Wardrobe (CCW), Pamela Jabbour!
Pamela’s love for timeless, versatile fashion has shaped her approach over the years. She focuses on high-quality essentials, neutral colours, and sleek, flattering silhouettes. Each piece in her capsule wardrobe is designed to mix and match effortlessly, creating a wardrobe that works for any occasion. From her take on capsule wardrobes to the CCW pieces she loves, Pamela is on a mission to offer elevated staples that combine style, practicality, and subtle elegance.
Meet Pamela Jabbour – The Vision Behind CCW
Pamela Jabbour draws inspiration from style icons like Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn, who championed elegance and simplicity over passing trends. With this vision in mind, she set out to create CCW—designing pieces that stand the test of time and become wardrobe favourites for years to come.
“I’ve always believed in timeless style—the kind where you can look back at a photo years later and still love what you’re wearing.”
Pamela's Signature Capsule Wardrobe Philosophy
A capsule wardrobe is all about simplicity and versatility—curating fewer, high-quality pieces that can be styled effortlessly in endless ways. It’s built on the idea of quality over quantity, focusing on timeless staples that go beyond fleeting trends for a wardrobe that lasts.
For Pamela, creating a capsule wardrobe is about making thoughtful choices. Whether you're starting fresh or refining your style, she recommends beginning with key essentials: a tailored blazer, crisp white shirt, classic black trousers, and a timeless coat. From there, she suggests adding one or two high-quality staples each year that reflect your personal style. The result - A wardrobe that not only simplifies your daily dressing but evolves with you over time, uniquely yours, effortlessly chic.
"Invest in pieces that make you feel confident, fit impeccably, and will stand the test of time."
Essential Pieces in Pamela's Wardrobe
Pamela’s wardrobe essentials include a tailored blazer, crisp button-up shirt, black or taupe coat, black trousers, and neutral-coloured shoes. These timeless pieces serve as the foundation of her chic and versatile style, providing endless options for mixing and matching. While these staples are her go-to for everyday wear, you may also spot Pamela in a classic little black dress or a trench coat, adding an extra layer of sophistication to her look beyond the office.
Pamela's Styling Tips for an Effortless Wardrobe
Look for structure and drape. Fabrics like wool, silk, and crisp cotton hold their shape and age beautifully. High-quality fabric is key to achieving that polished, refined look.
Classic neutrals—black, white, navy, camel, and soft greys. Occasionally add a touch of pastel blue or khaki, but the foundation is always timeless and elegant.
To keep your capsule wardrobe looking fresh and interesting while staying minimal:
- Mix textures – Pair silk with structured wool to add dimension and texture.
- Add statement accessories – a structured handbag or bold sunglasses will elevate any look.
- Style pieces in unexpected ways – roll up a crisp sleeve, button up a blazer, or layer with a trench coat.

Pamela shares how to mix and match pieces from the CCW collection.
For a classic and chic look, I pair the White Everyday Tee with black trousers, Chesterfield Coat, and ballet flats. However, on busy days, I prefer an outfit that seamlessly transitions from day to night, like the Tailored Blazer and Tailored Shorts, paired with kitten heels.
My go-to outfit for a polished and powerful look is to wear the Longline Blazer with the Classic Black Pant, Sleeveless Shirt and pointy heels. On more casual days, I lean towards effortless everyday sophistication by wearing the Trench Coat, White Everyday Tee, slim denim jeans, and loafers.
