A capsule wardrobe is a great option for those looking to make more with less. If you aren’t familiar with a capsule wardrobe, it’s basically an edited version of your closet that features pieces that can be interchanged to create a variety of different outfits. This heavies up on basics and staples to create a style that’s uniquely yours and allows you to get creative.
One of the best things about a capsule wardrobe is that you don’t need to run to the store to pick up new pieces (unless you want to, of course!). You can take a look at your current clothing to build your very own capsule wardrobe. Follow our tips to create one that’s bound to help express yourself, while taking a bunch of guesswork out of what to wear today!
Compile the Basics
Basic tees and tanks are essential in any capsule wardrobe. These pieces allow for easy mixing, matching, and layering. Reach for neutral colors like black, white, and tan to create a blank canvas for any look.
Round Up the Layers
A capsule wardrobe is nothing without layers. The point is to take advantage of less clothing items to wear something stylish, comfortable, and interchangeable. Blazers, cardigans, and vests are great options to include. You’ll want to search for those neutral colors as well, however, these can have some statement elements to add some flair! This could be an option with a fun pop of color or maybe even a beautiful embroidered sweater.
Opt for Quality Over Quantity
If you are looking to add to your wardrobe, don’t get hung up on having a million different options. Invest in the pieces you love and will want to wear on repeat. Search for the items that are versatile and bonus points if it can be leveraged throughout the seasons!
Don’t Forget the Shoes
Shoes can really set the tone for an outfit. Dress something up with a heel or dress it down with a classic white sneak. Search your closet for shoes that can offer a more professional appearance as well as reaching for shoes that are more casual and allow you to run around town!
Keep Everything Looking Crisp and Fresh
No matter what you choose to add to your capsule wardrobe, caring for your pieces makes such an impact. A freshly pressed shirt gives the look of thought and care into an outfit, while keeping it in its best shape. Investing in a Laurastar product like IGGI or Lift allows you to keep clothing looking great, while even purifying and sanitizing. One of these would be a perfect addition to your capsule wardrobe!
Whatever your style is, craft it and make getting dressed even easier by editing your closet. Have you tried a capsule wardrobe yet?
