Do you know your style and want to develop a better way to compile outfits with far less hassle?
Then you should learn how to construct a capsule wardrobe, the wise woman’s way to systematize your clothes for all purposes during any season. Let Scout & Molly’s Classen Curve, show you how to set up a capsule wardrobe, and why it’s fashionably prudent to do so.
What Exactly is a Capsule Wardrobe?
Capsule wardrobes are timeless clothing systems, which means they’re adaptable to any season and the ever-prevailing winds of women’s fashion. This lets you choose your core/essential items (tops, shirts, skirts, coats, footwear, pants, etc.), preferably with neutral shades and colors, along with whatever accessories you deem necessary. The latter items are much more variable than those everyday essentials.
Always remember that capsule wardrobes aren’t stagnant. Therefore, you’ll still make updates and alterations periodically, but it won’t require a total fashion revolution each time.
These are the four easy steps to making a capsule wardrobe.
Plan for Everything You Need
Every noteworthy endeavor requires a game plan. This is where you identify your favorite colors, the style(s) you prefer, and calculate your normal clothes volume. Especially for that last part, you can base it on how often you do laundry and cycle through outfits. Colors should conform to a palette of shades or hues that fit into an overall style or scheme. As we said before, try to include at least a few neutral colors.
Make a List of Everything You Need (Be Specific)
List all of your items either by “lifestyle” or “function.” This would include dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, sweaters, blazers, and so forth.
Hard Choices: What to Keep and What to Lose
Next, sort everything into piles and make the tough decisions on what stays versus what you’ll send to the donation bin.
Going Forward: Always Employ the “One In – One Out Rule”
Since clothes never last forever, you’ll have to make adjustments later. We recommend the popular one-in/one-out rule that requires you to eliminate one old item every time you purchase something new. This is important because you don’t want to become overrun with clothes when you make updates, eventually.
