Menswear icon · Thin White Duke · 1976

Dress like David Bowie

From the clothes you already own.

Stark cabaret elegance: white shirt, black waistcoat, sharp trousers.

What you might already own

The pieces

Tick what you already own. Nothing is saved.

The palette

  • black
  • white
  • grey

  1. 01Strict monochrome

Leave out

  • Colour
  • Casualness

Wear it your way.

Photograph your clothes, pick David Bowie as a style reference, and ask for a look in their style. Capsule puts it together from what you own, says why it works, and names the one or two kinds of piece that would bring you closer.

Try it with your wardrobe

Capsule has no connection with David Bowie or their estate. This page describes a well-documented way of dressing.
