How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe with Athleisure

Less clutter. More confidence.

You don’t need a massive closet to dress well. You need high-quality pieces that work hard, mix well, and look good on repeat.

At gvr, we design every item to be part of a tight, functional wardrobe that simplifies your life and sharpens your style.

Here’s how to build a capsule wardrobe around performance gear that actually performs.


What Is a Capsule Wardrobe?

It’s a curated set of versatile pieces that:
✅ Mix and match
✅ Never go out of style
✅ Cover all your needs—from workout to weekend

For most guys, 10–12 quality items is enough to create dozens of looks.


The gvr Capsule: Your 8 Core Pieces

  1. 2 Performance Tees (black & neutral)

  2. 1 Long Sleeve Layer

  3. 1 Tapered Jogger

  4. 1 Slim Tech Pant

  5. 1 Sleeveless Tank

  6. 1 Full-Zip Hoodie or Crewneck

  7. 1 All-Purpose Short

  8. 1 Outer Layer (bomber, overshirt, or shell)

Add in two pairs of versatile sneakers and you’re set.


Why Athleisure Works for Capsules

  • Neutral tones = easy pairing

  • Wrinkle-free & wash-friendly = daily wear

  • Designed for all-day comfort = fewer outfit changes

gvr gear is meant to flow through your full day—so each piece serves multiple purposes.
