Create Your Capsule Wardrobe
Capsule wardrobes are a great way to simplify your life, reduce stress and save money. In this blog we'll tell you all about capsule wardrobes, how they work and how to create one for yourself!
What is a capsule wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of items that you can mix and match to create different outfits. It's not about having an expensive designer wardrobe; it's about creating one that works for you, and one that makes sense for your lifestyle and personality.
The benefits of having a capsule wardrobe
You'll have less stress because there will be less decision making when getting dressed every morning! Instead of procrastinating over what to wear, start with a capsule item and go from there
A capsule wardrobe will save money because all those extra clothes are no longer taking up space in your closet (or taking up valuable real estate in storage). You won't need as many items since each piece serves multiple purposes so there's no need for duplicates or multiples of anything except maybe shoes (and even then most people only need few pairs at most).
How to create your capsule wardrobe
-
Create a list of your favorite items that you already own so you know what gaps to fill.
-
Think about what you wear the most and least, then look at what you have in your closet that you don't wear - consider donating.
-
Identify what makes you feel most comfortable and confident when getting dressed in the morning.
