don't let the notion of a capsule wardrobe cloud your head too much, there's not some law of equivalent exchange in the jawnzrealm. basically, if you like that uniqlo polka dotted shirt, keep wearing it. and if you love that our legacy shirt so much, not because its a "more interesting version of uniqlo", but instead, just a cool shirt, then sure, buy it, and wear it too. and if you find yourself not wearing your uniqlo shirt after the fact, sure, get rid of it. or, say, you only keep 5 shirts at once. none of them may end up being a blue polka dotted one at all! if you want to get rid of that uniqlo shirt because you don't like it so much regardless, then you don't necessarily have to find a "replacement".
I'm kind of rambling, but it just seems strange you've got some idea that your wardrobe has a blue polka dot print shirt shaped hole that must be filled. it's like the idea of the "essential wardrobe" where every man *must have* ____ item.
