Menswear icon · Ivy years · late 1950s

Dress like Miles Davis

From the clothes you already own.

Ivy League tailoring worn with a jazz musician's edge and precision.

What you might already own

The pieces

Tick what you already own. Nothing is saved.

The palette

  • olive
  • charcoal
  • seersucker blue
  • cream
  • burgundy

The rules

  1. 01Narrow lines throughout
  2. 02Cool, deliberate colour combinations
  3. 03Every detail precise

Leave out

  • Bulk
  • Anything sloppy

Wear it your way.

Photograph your clothes, pick Miles Davis 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 Miles Davis or their estate. This page describes a well-documented way of dressing.
