Building a Capsule Wardrobe: Your Style, Sustainable and Fun!

Ever feel like your closet is bursting, but you still have nothing to wear? That's fashion marketing at its finest! They want us to spend, spend, spend and chase every trend. But guess what? You don’t need to play that game! Let's talk about how to build a capsule wardrobe that reflects your style, saves you money, promotes sustainability and boosts your well-being.

Understand Your Style

First things first, get to know your style. For me, it’s all about jeans, t-shirts, and blazers in neutral colors. I love denim and soft materials, especially cotton. I think identifying your staples and preferences is key.

Steps to Build a Capsule Wardrobe

1. Declutter Your Closet: Start by clearing out the items you never wear. That's what I did. Donate, recycle, or even upcycle them.

2. Pick Your Essentials: Choose your core pieces. For me, it's trusty jeans, neutral tees, and versatile blazers. I have pieces I’ve worn for over 10 years and they’re still going strong and no one realized ( I think!)

3. Choose a Color Palette: Stick to neutral colors like black, white, gray, cream and denim blues. I love light blue too, This makes mixing and matching a breeze.

4. Invest in Quality: Go for high-quality, durable items, especially those made from sustainable materials like organic cotton.

5. Mix and Match: Ensure every piece can pair with multiple others in your wardrobe. This way, you maximize your outfit options without buying more.

6. Add Versatile Layers: Include items like cardigans, light jackets, or scarves for variety without cluttering your wardrobe.

7. Prioritize Comfort: Since I love soft materials, I always choose comfort alongside style.
