Why you NEED a Capsule Wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe is essential to having a wardrobe that works for you. This means being able to quickly put together looks that you feel and look good in quickly without having to go shopping every time there's a special occasion. A bonus? You end up saving some coins and the environment because you shop for what you need.

So what is a capsule wardrobe? A capsule wardrobe involves owning a small, curated collection of essential and versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits.

A capsule wardrobe typically consists of a few tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, and shoes depending on personal style, climate, and lifestyle.

Getting started with a capsule wardrobe can be simple. Here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Take a look at your current wardrobe: Note the pieces that you wear frequently and the ones you hardly ever wear. This can help you identify gaps in your wardrobe and determine which items you may need to buy.
  2. Lock in on your personal style: Think about the types of clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. This can help you determine the types of pieces you should look for when building your capsule wardrobe.
  3. Set a budget: Decide how much you are willing to spend on your capsule wardrobe. 
  4. Choose your core pieces: Select a few core pieces, such as a pair of jeans, a blazer, and a little black dress, that you can mix and match with other items in your wardrobe.
  5. Add in versatile pieces: Look for versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down and worn in different seasons. Examples include a white T-shirt, a denim jacket, and a pair of black ankle boots.
  6. Consider your lifestyle: Make sure the pieces in your capsule wardrobe fit your lifestyle. 
  7. Continuously assess and update: Your capsule wardrobe should be a fluid process. Continuously assess your wardrobe and update it as needed to ensure that it meets your current needs and style preferences.

    Remember, the key to a great capsule wardrobe is to choose versatile pieces that you truly love and feel comfortable in.
