Victoria Beckham makes the kind of clothes every well-dressed woman wants to wear. Timeless and chic with ample wearability, each collection is infused with elevated core pieces that will work hard in your daily wardrobe. So it comes as no surprise that her brand's new collaboration with online retailer Mytheresa, available today, is chock-full of cozy staples you would come to expect from the brand.

"We wanted to create a collection that felt very seasonal, autumnal, whilst still celebrating our signature design codes: beautiful cuts, versatile separates, and bold pops of color," Beckham tells BAZAAR.com about the premise of the partnership. "We've worked with Mytheresa for a long time and wanted to celebrate that [relationship] with a special moment that felt right for us and them."

Pieces in the newly launched capsule include a little bit of everything. From fitted sweater dresses and silk satin coordinate sets to an oversized cardigan and knit separates, the lineup finds the common ground between comfort and style.

According to the designer, this has everything to do with the undeniable shift caused by the pandemic. "I think that the past 18 months have definitely influenced how we wear our clothes," she explains. "People want to be comfortable, to not have to overthink their outfits. But I also think there's a real desire to get dressed up again, to wear something structured that makes you feel confident. It's all about a balance of both, which I think this capsule really provides."

Those looking to build out the foundation of a capsule wardrobe will benefit from the offering as well, as Beckham is all about transcending seasons and fads. "[A] really great classic wool coat in camel or navy never fails," she says. "Invest in timeless pieces, a white shirt, great denim, a classic tuxedo jacket. Then gradually add in key statement pieces that you love. I always think the key to mastering a forever wardrobe is about choosing pieces you love that are true to your personal style, rather than following trends."

If you've been keeping up with Beckham's personal style, then you know the effortlessly chic aesthetic of the new lineup matches her day-to-day looks in the present. But much like everyone else, the former Spice Girl's look has evolved throughout the decades. "Over the years, I've required different things from my wardrobe, and my style has reflected that," the mother of four says. "Nowadays, I need pieces that take me from the school run to the office to a dinner. I want to feel great whilst ensuring my clothes work with me, for me."
