A capsule wardrobe consists of your most essential clothing items that are versatile and allows you to create look after look with a small selection of clothes.
The idea of a capsule wardrobe is nothing new. Build a capsule wardrobe by keeping essential items and classic pieces that do not go out of style, together with a few seasonal pieces and accents that complement each other. This will help you save a lot of money and get you dressed quickly in the morning.
Here are some guidelines on how to curate a timeless and concise wardrobe:Â
-
- Hold on to items that fit your personality, style and lifestyle
- Evaluate your closet by asking these questions: Does this item go with at least 3 other items in my closet? How many outfits can I come up with? Do I like the cut, fit and colour? Is this item easy to maintain or wash? Does this go with my lifestyle and personal style?
- Work with what you have and don’t buy anything new
- Here’s a simple guide to the clothing essentials that will serve you all year round:
