A practical first capsule may include a technical training T-shirt, training shorts, a jogger, a half-zip midlayer, and a lightweight jacket. Some brands may also add compression tights, lined shorts, tank tops, or vests depending on the target market and launch strategy. Startup brands usually do not need a large collection at the first sample stage. A focused 3-5 SKU capsule can make it easier to control fabric direction, fit balance, color story, sample feedback, and MOQ discussion before expanding into more styles.
