Capsule Wardrobe 🌷 1: The Introduction
° ˖ ✧ ✧ ˖ ° ° ˖ ✧ ✧ ˖ °
What's a capsule wardrobe?
It's a small / least number of clothes that provides full functionality for a particular purpose / season, while all pieces can be paired with ease, which is a wardrobe concept that saves time and space.
The definition of small number can be different depending on each individual, the fun part is to find out what the minimal number is for you through trials and errors.
It's common that the selection can gravitate towards a certain set of color ranges and styles (some may choose basic tones only, or pant styles only with no skirts, some may do colorful tops with dark bottoms only, and some may go for dress and leggings only, etc), because those are the the types the individual always ends up wearing.
Here is an example of my capsule wardrobe.
This picture is my office work capsule wardrobe I had around 2018-2019.
For this set of wardrobe, I have a bit of basic colors plus blue hued ones, which are all suitable for office work semi-formal or formal.
You can see some of the outfit pictures in this post:
I live in a city with all 4 seasons, but as you can see all of them are long sleeves. The reason for this is even in summer, my commute is 10min walk to train station, from there I'm sitting in the train for an hour with blasting AC, and once I get to the office, there's also AC, so I only need to endure 20min of hot sun, therefore short sleeves weren't necessary.
Another merit of having long sleeves is to protect my skin from the sun in the summer, since the summer pieces are very thin, it really works out.
For winter, obviously I'll put on more inner layers and jackets on the outside for warmth.
The working days are around 260d per year, so 12 tops x 4 bottoms gives me 48 outfits. If we do 260days / 48 outfits, that gives us 5.4, therefore despite the small number, repeats only happen about 6 times in a year.
Stay tuned for more tips and inspirations!
