Well, a lot of us might not have the
knowledge about what is a capsule wardrobe and that is okay. When you enter the
globe of fashion, there is more of practicality and variation, then your own personal
set of choices. These days, it is hard to decide what the real ongoing fashion
is, since people tend to wear what they like. And that is what a capsule
wardrobe is.
What
is a Capsule Wardrobe?
Capsule wardrobe encompasses of a small
collection of outfits which you love to wear. So if you face an issue of “what
to wear” every other day, make a wardrobe which has all those outfits which you
love to wear. And it will be wonderful.
Why
is It Great to Have One?
You buy tons of clothes and you stick to
your old favorite ones, don’t you? I do that too. And one day it dawns you that
you have a lot of clothes in your wardrobe but they are simply the ones you
don’t adore. It happened with me too! So just separate your wardrobe. Make a
mini wardrobe, better known as capsule wardrobe which sums up your life of “favorite
outfits”. So you know what is to be thrown out and what are your random day’s pieces
and the ones you love the most get separated.
How
to Build a Capsule Wardrobe?
According to the fashionista’s a capsule
wardrobe is a one which has at the limit only 30 outfits or pieces in it. These
outfits must have the real you and what are you as a stylist in it. Clothes
which define your style statement are supposed to be in this wardrobe. Or let’s
simply sum it as; the clothes you seriously can’t survive without.
Building up your perfect capsule wardrobe
is all about planning and knowing what are your choices. Do not pick up the
“maybe” items from your wardrobe. Be determined about what you choose and put
that in your capsule wardrobe. Clothes which you don’t have to give a second
thought. You don’t need to throw out all the other items that stand on the
maybe scale. You can put them off in another wardrobe and wear them on and off
for a change. You can make something cooler out of them, styling them in your
own manner.
So, the 30 items in your capsule wardrobe
need to be consisting of tops, dresses, bottoms, shoes, outwear, PJ’s, underwear’s,
accessories and swimwear as well. But you know what the challenge for keeping
this wardrobe is? You need to keep regulating it. Alter it completely after a
period of 3-4 months. This can be said “seasonal change” as well but somewhere
the summers tend to stay for a much longer time. You need to be frugal with this
wardrobe and changing it is essential. You don’t need to people to pinpoint
you, that you are wearing the same outfit for the 100th time. Do
you?
