Capsule wardrobe for spring – what is it and what are its main assumptions?
In recent years, the concept of a capsule wardrobe has become increasingly popular, and we're sure you've come across it more than once.
A spring capsule wardrobe is a minimalist wardrobe composed of timeless pieces. These are basic wardrobe pieces that you can combine regardless of changing trends and seasons. It's a wardrobe that leaves no room for things you don't wear, and its functionality allows you to create countless outfits from a small number of items. A spring capsule wardrobe is, above all, a wardrobe filled with only your favorite pieces and that will help you overcome the eternal problem of "I have nothing to wear."
In fact, this term has been around in the fashion world since the 1970s. The term "capsule wardrobe" was coined by Susie Faux, the owner of a London boutique, who popularized the idea among her clients.
---Spring capsule wardrobe – why is it worth creating?
Creating your own capsule wardrobe for spring offers many benefits, regardless of the season.
- Save time – when your wardrobe is organized and minimalistic, it's much easier to create tried-and-true outfits. Everything coordinates seamlessly, so you can make outfit decisions much faster.
- Timelessness – the idea behind a capsule wardrobe is its timelessness. By creating one, you'll always look good, regardless of changing trends.
- More conscious and thoughtful shopping – a capsule wardrobe is a thoughtful and conscious wardrobe. Therefore, following its concept makes it easier for us to avoid shopping temptations.
- Helping you define your personal style – this wardrobe is based on self-awareness. Planning and analysis will allow you to discover the wardrobe pieces that make you feel your best.
- Environmental Benefits – Unfortunately, the clothing industry is a highly polluting one. By choosing a capsule wardrobe, you can, as an individual, positively impact our environment through your decisions. Firstly, because of the principle of minimalism that guides this idea, and by making more conscious purchasing choices.
A capsule wardrobe for spring – how to build it?
A spring capsule wardrobe is, above all, a wardrobe that resists seasonal trends. It's based on classic pieces that never go out of style and from which you can create countless looks. How should you build it for the spring 2022 season? Check out these 5 simple steps:
Step 1: Start by cleaning out your closet
A spring capsule wardrobe is based on thoughtful decisions. Therefore, it's worth thoroughly analyzing the contents of our wardrobe. Are there any items I don't wear at all? If so, we shouldn't be sentimental and should resell or donate unused clothing.
Step 2: Define your base
A spring capsule wardrobe is a kind of foundation. However, it will be a little different for each of us. It's worth answering questions: Do I particularly like any particular piece? Are there styles I wear most often? What colors do I reach for most? We should seek these answers during our transition. By being aware of this aspect, we will be able to determine what we like, what we feel best in, and what should form our foundation.
Step 3: Define your lifestyle
One thing is certain: a spring capsule wardrobe should be tailored to you and your lifestyle. For example, if you work in an office and require a more formal look, invest in a high-quality, elegant basic. Jackets, shirts, and comfortable, classic-cut trousers are what you should be looking for.
However, if you're constantly on the go and spend your time actively, your spring capsule wardrobe should include functional and comfortable items. Jeans, sweaters, T-shirts, and comfortable sweatpants are all items that should be in your closet.
Step 4: Take your time and buy consciously
The process of changing our wardrobe should be slow and deliberate. It's not about immediately getting rid of half our wardrobe and rushing off to the store. This approach requires greater awareness, discovering your own style, and a certain amount of knowledge. Quality, not quantity, is the foundation of a capsule wardrobe. Therefore, it's worth learning to make thoughtful purchasing decisions. It's best to create a list of needs and choose only what you truly need. A basic knowledge of materials will also be useful, as we should choose those that will last us a long time and last as long as possible.
Step 5: You matter most
One thing is certain: there's no single capsule wardrobe. Each of us is different and unique, and so should our spring capsule wardrobe. We should listen to our own needs, define our lifestyle, consider our favorite styles and colors, and only then approach the changes with confidence.
---Capsule Wardrobe – Spring 2022: Specific Elements and Styles
A spring capsule wardrobe is one that, in addition to the essentials, includes transitional pieces and is prepared for temperature fluctuations. But what exactly should it include?
-
Outerwear – Spring is a transitional time, when warmer garments and multi-layered styles are in order. A classic trench coat is undoubtedly a staple during this time, a long-lasting investment. It's a wardrobe staple that never goes out of style, so it's worth buying one with the best possible composition. Cotton with added elastane works fantastically well here. However, don't forget to check the lining. Polyester is highly unsuitable for this purpose, not only for environmental reasons but also for our skin, which is completely breathable when in contact with it. Acetate, a derivative of viscose, or viscose itself are best for this type of coat .
Your spring capsule wardrobe should also include a warmer coat, preferably in lighter, spring-like tones—ideally made of a slightly lighter weight wool. Depending on your preferred style , a double-breasted or single-breasted blazer will certainly be useful, which you can pair with tops or T-shirts.
- Trousers and skirts – a spring capsule wardrobe should also include comfortable trousers, preferably made of a more breathable material. Our slightly wider, fashionable cotton trousers or classic cigarette trousers are ideal for this purpose. A perfect spring capsule wardrobe should also include jeans, which can be worn to create a multitude of outfits regardless of the season. It's a good idea to also choose a skirt or two – but consider which length you feel most comfortable in. Skirts can create many outfits for evenings or work.
- Sweaters – A spring capsule wardrobe wouldn't be complete without sweaters. Cotton sweaters are a great choice. Go for a classic, like a striped sweater in a French style, or a cotton V-neck sweater that will beautifully accentuate your neck. A cardigan is also a good addition to your wardrobe for everyday wear, as you can layer it over your outfit depending on the temperature.
-
Blouses, tops, and shirts – your capsule wardrobe should always include basic blouses made from high-quality materials, regardless of the season. Depending on your neckline and fabric, stock up on a T-shirt and a long sleeve. If you're a fan of stripes, striped blouses with 3/4 sleeves are also a perfect choice. Knitted turtlenecks are also a good base, and can be styled in a variety of ways. Your spring capsule wardrobe should also include a well-tailored shirt , preferably made of a breathable fabric like viscose. Another essential are tops to wear under a cardigan or jacket. A silk top with lace or rayon tops are good choices. - Dresses – If you love wearing dresses, you definitely need them in your spring wardrobe. Depending on your body type and personal preferences, choose the ones you feel most comfortable in. These could be fitted knit dresses or, for example, a shirt dress, which, depending on accessories, can be worn for many occasions.
