Creating a wardrobe capsule all starts with your fashion preferences. From what you like, to what your daily routine is, to the places you frequent. It all comes down to how you run your daily life. When creating a wardrobe capsule you don’t need to throw your old clothes out and start afresh. That would be hectic and unwise. What you need to do is just try to rebuild your wardrobe with what you have already and by adding a few pieces too.
To create a wardrobe capsule, you need to start by assessing your style and lifestyle. By being conscious of your skin tone and buying outfits that compliment it. Aim for versatile, and timeless pieces that can be easily layered and styled in different ways. Invest in high-quality basics like black clothes, a classic white shirt, and well-fitting jeans. You could also buy basic tops, bottoms, and layering pieces in neutral colours. Add a few statement pieces and accessories to spice things up.
What is a wardrobe capsule?
A wardrobe capsule is a collection of essential and versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create various outfits. It typically consists of timeless and high-quality pieces that reflect your style. The idea is to have a curated selection of items that can be worn interchangeably, making it easier to put together outfits and maximise your wardrobe. It’s a great way to simplify your closet and create a cohesive and functional collection of clothes.
How to build a wardrobe capsule?
To start building your wardrobe capsule, begin by assessing your current wardrobe. Take inventory of the items you already have and identify any gaps or pieces that need to be replaced. Next, consider your style and the activities you engage in regularly. This will help you determine the types of clothing you need. Focus on selecting versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched easily. Stick to a colour palette that compliments your skin tone and allows for cohesive outfit combinations. Remember to prioritise quality over quantity and invest in timeless, well-made items that will last long.
Don’t always buy trendy clothes
Buying trendy outfits isn’t bad but it pushes you away from your true fashionable style. It’s okay to buy trendy clothes once in a while, but not every time. Always buying trendy clothes makes you look like one of the crowd and not different from the crowd. Unlike your fashion sense, trendy clothes aren’t timeless. It goes out of fashion after a crazy fashion phase.
Invest in solid basics
Invest in timeless pieces that can never go out of style. Look for timeless styles and high-quality materials that will last. Consider versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched easily.
Building a wardrobe capsule isn’t a one-day journey. It takes time and consistency to channel your mind to always buy pieces that you last long and always leave you looking fashionable. All the same, it still comes with thrill, discovery and joy. So, don’t be afraid! Dare to be true and different. Hope this article from Naijassador helps, Happy styling!
