Capsule wardrobe - purpose and main assumptions - we present facts and debunk myths
The idea of a capsule wardrobe is guided by two basic principles - QUALITY COUNTS, NOT QUANTITY, and LESS IS MORE.
The main goal of a capsule wardrobe is to make choosing clothes easy, limiting them to those you truly wear and love, eliminating excess and chaos in your closet. This will reduce the number of items you own while simultaneously increasing the number of looks you can create. This solution allows you to work quickly—so mornings or those moments when you simply have to get out of the house will no longer be frustrating, but instead become a fun way to play with fashion.
A capsule wardrobe isn't just a way to style, but also a specific approach to fashion. It consists of clothes that can be combined to create many different looks—there's complete freedom in how many pieces you have in your wardrobe. One person might need more, another less, and there are no set limits. The important thing is that you feel good in the clothes you have in your closet. The foundation is usually simple and classic pieces that are timeless and easy to combine. However, the final look of your capsule wardrobe is entirely up to you.
What to start with? A wardrobe inventory! (Don't worry, we'll help.) For now, let's focus on education, then on action. The concept of a capsule wardrobe isn't about mindlessly throwing away clothes, but rather developing a conscious approach to fashion by analyzing your shopping behavior. Therefore, every step, even the smallest, towards a capsule wardrobe is already a step towards slow fashion, or conscious fashion.
We'll also debunk some myths often associated with building a capsule wardrobe and present some facts that we hope will encourage you and make it easier to build your own capsule wardrobe.
---FACT:
A capsule wardrobe helps you save money. How? You only buy the pieces you actually need. Plus, if you already have specific outfits picked out, your purchases will become less frequent and less expensive.
By choosing high-quality clothes, you can be sure they'll last longer and wear out less. Caring for them is also important, and we'll certainly touch on that as well.
---MYTH:
A capsule wardrobe means I have to give up fashion. Nothing could be further from the truth! This approach is about building a durable, high-quality foundation of clothes that you can use to create countless outfits. However, this doesn't mean giving up on trends that suit your style.
Once you have the key basics, you can start playing with fashion. Classic pieces like a tight black turtleneck or an oversized blazer have been in style for a long time; the only thing that changes is how you wear them and what you pair them with.
---FACT:
A capsule wardrobe means a better environmental footprint. By purchasing higher-quality clothes made from environmentally friendly materials, you're making conscious decisions and contributing to reducing the amount of CO2 produced in the clothing production process.
We live in a fast fashion world, but fortunately, more and more consumers are making conscious purchasing choices. A capsule wardrobe promotes conscious shopping and reducing textile waste, which has a decisively positive impact on the environment.
---MYTH:
A capsule wardrobe is only for minimalists who favor black and white. Nothing could be further from the truth—yes, clothing in these colors often provides a foundation, but that doesn't mean you have to give up wearing your favorite colors. You can create a wardrobe comprised of your favorite patterns or shades that are easy to combine.
*Minimalism is important in creating a capsule. If you like color, consider your favorite color palette and feel free to combine them. A color analysis tailored to your skin tone is also a great idea. Choose a limited number of items in your favorite colors, interspersed with muted, monochromatic pieces (usually around 30-40 pieces) that can be combined and styled in a variety of ways.
---FACT:
A capsule wardrobe requires constant modification and adjustment, even depending on the season. We know how important it is to find the right clothes for the occasion or the weather, so let's focus on creating a full range of clothes, spreading out purchasing decisions over time.
As the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day." To do something well, you have to dedicate some time to it. This perspective also allows you to flexibly manage your budget and be intentional about your clothes, money, and personal style.
