Have you ever wondered how your closet is completely full of clothes but you have nothing to wear? One shirt looks great however, it doesn’t go with any pants. The jeans look amazing, but the options for shirts just don’t look right? A capsule wardrobe can solve these problems for you! It also keeps your closet clutter free. Typically, a capsule wardrobe for every season is ideal and putting them together can be so simple! We want pants, shirts, dresses, jackets, and accessories to be easy to mix and match for a multitude of different occasions. Let’s dive in to an easy guide to a capsule wardrobe.
Firstly, the best way to choose a color palate is by matching with the seasons. Light colored items will make up your wardrobe in the spring and summer, and darker tones will create your fall and winter wardrobe. Let’s focus on fall and winter! We are looking for nude (beige), brown, gray, black, and cream colors. These colors are best because they always match each one another! Secondly, choose colors your know you’re going to wear!
There are several items that would create an ideal Fall capsule wardrobe, but feel free to play around with them, as long as they stick to the basic principle. Almost everything should have the ability to be styled together.
Notice how despite which top you pick will match with every pant options, and vice versa.
White sneakers, black heels, and nude or black loafers are guaranteed to match every piece in your wardrobe. A pair of nude or black heeled sandals can even be paired with jeans and a white tee. That’s the ultimate goal with a capsule wardrobe. This provides you with so many different options from a much smaller amount of items. Easily switch from day to night by just swapping out shoes and accessories.
Finally, you may be thinking that this type of wardrobe won’t be dressy enough for you. Of course, this type of wardrobe isn’t meant for a cocktail party, however it’s perfect for transitioning between the office and an after work event. The best way to dress up a more casual look is through accessories. Jewelry, scarves, and a chic bag can make an outfit!
