If you’re like me, your closet is overflowing with clothes that you rarely wear. And while I’d like to think that I just have a unique style or an amazing eye for fashion (or both), the reality is that many of the pieces in my closet are just taking up space and not being put to good use. So what’s the solution? Building a capsule wardrobe! A capsule wardrobe is a set of 25-30 carefully-selected pieces that can be mixed and matched to create dozens of outfits. It saves time since you don’t have to go digging through piles upon piles of clothes every time you want something new to wear: instead, all your options are right there waiting for you on hangers or folded neatly in drawers.

What is a capsule wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a collection of clothing that you can mix and match to create multiple outfits. It’s a great way to save money, time and space because you don’t have to worry about what to wear every day. Instead, your capsule wardrobe makes it easy for you to get dressed in the morning while still looking fashionable.

A capsule wardrobe is also the perfect solution for people who want to declutter their closets by getting rid of clothes they don’t need anymore!

Why should I build one?

Building a capsule wardrobe has many benefits. It will:

– Reduce stress by cutting down on the amount of time you spend shopping, because you’ll have fewer pieces to choose between.

– Help you to be more creative with your clothes, and get more mileage out of each item in your wardrobe.

– Help you to be more confident in what you wear, because there are no surprises when it comes to how each piece looks on and fits your body type.

– Save money! Once again, this is because there are fewer options for things like accessories or outerwear — and if something goes wrong with one item (say it gets damaged), then it won’t ruin an entire outfit or event as easily as before; meaning no need for emergency replacements!

How do I start?

That’s simple: You start with your current wardrobe.

Make a list of all the items of clothing you own and how often you wear them (e.g., every day, once in a while, etc.).

Get rid of anything you don’t need or wear regularly; this includes old clothes that no longer fit well but are too difficult to let go because they’re “special” or “one-of-a-kind.” If it’s been more than 6 months since you’ve worn an item, consider getting rid of it if there’s nothing special about it!

Keep only the items that are essential to your wardrobe: tops and bottoms that work together well enough on their own, plus shoes or boots (depending on what kind of weather you live in). You may also keep one dressy item per season: something office appropriate for winter; something cocktail-worthy for spring/summer; something date night appropriate for fall (or whatever else might be coming up).

Building your capsule wardrobe

When you approach a capsule wardrobe, it is helpful to make a few basic decisions beforehand. These can help narrow down your choices and make sure that the outfits in your wardrobe will work together well.

Choose a colour scheme. You might love bright pink, but if the rest of your clothes are mostly blues, greens and yellows and then suddenly you add in hot pink — it will look like this doesn’t belong with all the other pieces in your closet. Try to stick with one or two colours for each category: tops/blouses/shirts; bottoms (pants/skirts); jackets; shoes/boots etc.. Then when you buy something new it won’t clash with everything else!

Pick out an outfit seasonally appropriate for each piece of clothing in your collection — basically if it works for winter wear during cold weather months then don’t expect this same outfit to feel right when worn during summer months when temperatures rise up into the 80s or even 90s Fahrenheit!

My first capsule wardrobe

I started with the basics: a few pair of jeans, some nice shirts, a few skirts and pants. I didn’t need anything fancy — I just wanted to be comfortable. The best part was that it forced me to get rid of some clothes that were too tight or didn’t fit right anymore and start fresh with only my favorite pieces.

It helped me see what kind of style I really liked (I’m definitely more into neutrals) and understand where I could make room for new pieces in my wardrobe without messing up the whole system. After all, there’s no point in buying something if you’re not going to wear it regularly!

It was fun putting outfits together because they were so simple, but also because they gave me ideas on how other people could pull off looks using similar pieces in their wardrobe

You don’t need 100+ items of clothing to make great outfits

You don’t need 100+ items of clothing to create great outfits. That may seem counterintuitive, but it’s true: you can build a wardrobe that contains just 25 items and still look amazing. A capsule wardrobe is one that contains a small number of items (usually 30 or less), which can be mixed and matched in many different ways to create multiple outfits. This approach saves money because you’re buying fewer clothes overall, even if they are higher quality pieces with better construction and fabrics than lower-end garments.

By having a smaller number of items, you can focus your energy on building a wardrobe that fits your lifestyle and reflects your personal style. It also makes it easier to keep up with the maintenance of your clothes and ensures they last longer.

A capsule wardrobe is not about wearing the same exact thing every day; it’s about having a small number of high-quality pieces that can be mixed and matched in many different ways. You don’t have to sacrifice your personal style or love of fashion by creating a capsule wardrobe; you just need to focus on buying fewer items but ones that fit your lifestyle, reflect your personal style, and are high quality.

So…

Building a capsule wardrobe is a great idea for a more sustainable lifestyle. It reduces stress, increases creativity with your outfits, helps you feel more confident about what you wear, and saves money and resources.
