The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Capsule Wardrobe *:･ﾟ✧
In a world where fast fashion trends come and go, the concept of a capsule wardrobe is gaining traction as a sustainable and minimalist approach to personal style. A capsule wardrobe is a thoughtfully curated collection of essential and timeless clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits. It is more than just a fashion trend; it's a lifestyle choice that promotes simplicity, sustainability, and versatility. The idea is to have a smaller, high-quality collection of clothing items that you love and that can be easily combined to create different looks! We are now back with an updated capsule wardrobe for you girls, read on for more :)
#1 Assess Your Lifestyle
Well, the first step is to be aware. You will have to first be aware of your lifestyle and consider your daily activities, workplace dress code, and personal style. Your capsule wardrobe should reflect your lifestyle, ensuring that you have the right pieces for every occasion. For example, if you are heading to your creative workplace, something classy yet stylish may be a good option. The Cape Knit Top and Miller Denim Skirt pairing is one of our go-to outfits for a modest and elegant look. Top it off with our Sera Tweed Cardigan and you look almost perfect!
If you are going back to school, the Luna Denim Set is the ideal outfit we'd pick! As a set, it undoubtedly spells fashionista! As separates, both match easily with alternative coordinates. The denim jacket conveniently serves as a cover-up for colder lecture theatres, and you can definitely pair the shorts with different type of tops from light, summery tops to chunky knit sweaters! Slip into your favourite sneakers and complete your look with a trendy canvas tote for school!
#2 Choose a Color Palette
The next step will be to select a color palette that complements most items that you own, as well as your skin tone. Of course, it certainly has to be one that will make you happy and feel confident in yourself. Neutral colors like black, white, grey, and navy are excellent choices for building a versatile capsule wardrobe. Then, based on your personal preferences, throw in pops of colors that synchronize well with the overall outfit.
Dresses with clean silhouettes like the Isla Bodycon Dress and Lavin Lace Dress are classic pieces that ought to have a permanent placement in your wardrobes. In our capsule wardrobe, it is necessary to have one or two pieces that can bring you to formal events or glam parties, and both of these dresses are impeccable choices.
#3 Invest in Timeless Basics
Investing in timeless basics can be seen as a strategy that transcends fleeting trends and fashion. Taking a leaf from the Parisians' style guide, when you allocate your resources towards classic, enduring pieces, you are building a foundation for a versatile capsule wardrobe. Timeless basics, such as a well-fitted white top, or a pair of quality denim jeans, have the remarkable ability to withstand the ebb and flow of fashion cycles. These staples not only exhibit longevity in style but also prove to be cost-effective over time, as they remain relevant and adaptable to various occasions. Daphne Jeans, Genie Skorts and Zora Padded Tops are some of the classic pieces that never go out of style!
#4 Mix and Match
A key factor in building a capsule wardrobe is to ensure that each piece in your wardrobe can be paired with multiple others. Mixing and matching clothes is a dynamic and fun way to break free from fashion conventions, fostering a sense of confidence and originality in one's sartorial choices. This ensures maximum versatility and helps you create a variety of outfits with a minimal number of items. Items that we recommend are Harriet Jeans and Gabe Padded Tops. Both are exceedingly minimalist and easy to match with different separates!
#5 Quality over Quantity
Last but not least, prioritize quality over quantity. Instead of succumbing to the allure of fast fashion and amassing a multitude of trendy, short-lived pieces, prioritizing quality entails investing in well-crafted, timeless items that withstand the test of time. Quality pieces tend to boast superior craftsmanship, durable materials, and enduring design. Even if they may have a higher upfront cost, they will ultimately be more cost-effective in the long run since there will be more usage per item. Pammie Knit 2-Pc Set that consists of a midi skirt as well as a cardigan is one of the pieces that we love to add to our wardrobe as a main-stay piece! The knit threads are intricately weaved to become this chunky knit set that effortlessly keeps one warm. The Minnie 2-Pc Set is also one of the premium sets that boasts quality and endurance. Furthermore, both are sets that can be mixed and matched :)
