Capsule wardrobe in 6 steps | Simplify your style
Fashionistas, do you know the flagship concept of capsule wardrobe. No more struggling mornings in front of your cupboard! I’m going to show you how to have a great dressing room that will save you time, energy and money. Come on, let’s dive into the 6 steps to creating your capsule wardrobe!
What exactly is a capsule wardrobe?
Imagine a minimalist, ethical and coherent dressing room. Cool, right? Each item of clothing is lovingly chosen to match your personal style. In your capsule wardrobe, you will find:
- Your seasonal essentials
- Colors that make you shine
- Clothes that fit your figure
- Pieces that you really wear (bye bye compulsive purchases!)
Why is it great to have a capsule wardrobe?
- No more morning hassle to get dressed
- Clothes that fit you like a glove
- A ready-to-use wardrobe, every day
- You wear everything you have (goodbye, forgotten clothes!)
- Your wallet will thank you
The 6 steps to an amazing capsule wardrobe
1. The big sorting
Empty your closet and make two piles: to keep and to give away. Ask yourself these questions:
- When was the last time I wore this thing?
- Do I feel hot in it?
- Does it make me smile when I see it?
2. Find your colors that suit you
It’s time to play with colors! Are you more Autumn, Spring, Summer Or Winter ? Discover the shades that make you shine.
3. What is your body type?
X, A, H, 8, V, O... No, it’s not a secret code! These are the body types. Find yours to choose the cuts that enhance you.
4. Define your style
Casual, chic, or a mix of both? Rock, bohemian, or minimalist? It’s time to define your unique style!
5. Sorting, returning
Now that you know your colors, your body type and your style, do a second sorting. Be ruthless!
6. Build your dream closet
- Choose your colors: a base color, 1-2 neutrals, and 2 brights.
- Decide on the size of your dressing room: 14 or 29 pieces
- Select your basics according to your style
- Add pieces that reflect your personality like a silk scarf, a hat, etc.
The final word
Creating a capsule wardrobe is like putting together the perfect playlist for your look. By following these steps, you will simplify your life and feel great every day!
