If you are like me or everyone else in this busy world, you might be struggling every morning with a thought of what to wear for the day and feel that you have no clothes to wear (although a closet brimming with outfits is open before you). If you are desperately looking for a solution to your what-to-wear-everyday dilemma, a capsule wardrobe may be the answer. I recently tried it and found a great peace of mind. So, I felt like sharing it with you so, you too may better organize your clothing collection, don’t have to struggle to stay trendy and make your life easier, the smart way. So, shall I dive in that for you? Let’s check it out.
What is a Capsule Wardrobe Anyway?
Have you heard of that term so far? You may or may not. But it should not to be a confusing one. It’s a term American fashion publications have recently started using widely, although it’s been in use since 1940 to refer to a small set of outfits that can be put together to create different colors and styles so as to make you feel different every day, to avoid monotony. This is a great way towards ‘less is more’ because while buying fewer pieces of garments you can wear a huge number of fashions with style and confidence. This not only saves money and space for you, but also offers you freedom from the everyday confusion of what to wear today, not to mention you have a perfect outfit for every occasion.
Essentials of a Capsule Wardrobe
1. White Shirts
White button-down crisp shirts are an ultimate essential of the capsule wardrobe as they are perfect for business meetings and also for weekend outings when paired with leggings or any outerwear. Choose linen or cotton poplin as they breathe well and hold their shape.
2. Blue Jeans
If you have forgotten, the mention of blue jeans will remind you of their versatility and ability to create endless styling potential. A mid-rise cut in classic indigo jeans can make a great team with a leather jacket and a trench coat with loafers or ballet flats.
3. Black Dresses
Black dresses have no match in their ability to move from day to night only with different accessories. Don’t forget to invest in an all-time favorite black dress that will fill you with confidence every time.
4. Tank Tops and Tees
To grab your hands on countless dressing-up possibilities tank tops and tees are must-have for your capsule wardrobe. Especially black, white, grey and navy-blue will amaze you with their ability to team up with so many other outfits and accessories.
5. Classic Weaves
High-quality wool or cashmere is an unmatched piece of clothing and enhances with wear and age. A classy knitwear, whether it’s V-necks, turtleneck, cardigan or crewneck, is perfect for layering. These in neutral colors are among the most multipurpose pieces that must be there in your capsule wardrobe.
6. Black Pants
When you are in a confusion of choosing sophisticated clothing for casual and formal occasions, a well-tailored pair of black pants come in handy. Just be sure to choose a cut that will flatter your silhouette and be fit for your office presentations as well as night outs.
