Capsule wardrobe, or how to create a functional wardrobe

You've probably heard the term "capsule wardrobe," but do you know what exactly it is and how to build one? There are many definitions. Some say it should consist of 37 items, others 50, but really, it's simply about keeping only what you actually need. A capsule wardrobe is a closet that leaves no room for things you don't wear. A capsule wardrobe is functional and allows you to create countless outfits from a small number of clothes. It's a wardrobe filled with only your favorite things and will help you overcome the eternal problem of "I have nothing to wear." How can you create one?

Clean out your closet and think about what you need

First and foremost, you need to answer the questions: what clothes do you need and what do you most like to wear? Think about your lifestyle and daily activities. It's crucial to carefully review the current contents of your wardrobe and eliminate sentimental attachments. There's no point in keeping things that just take up space and gather dust. If you haven't worn something in a few months, you'll probably never reach for it again.

Build a base

Once you've kept only what you love and use in your closet, the next step is to build a foundation. What is a foundation? It's a group of clothes you reach for most often and that coordinate with the rest of your wardrobe. This is the core element that underpins the entire capsule concept. Items with simple cuts and neutral colors allow you to create countless outfits because they're versatile and can be combined with other items. These typically include tops, T-shirts, well-tailored jeans, simple, elegant trousers, a blazer, a pullover, or a shirt. You can change this list as needed to tailor the foundation to your lifestyle and wardrobe. It's important that these items are of good quality. Remember, these are the clothes you wear most often, so it's important that they look elegant and last as long as possible. When buying, pay attention to the material composition and then care for them properly.

Make thoughtful purchases

Generally, with every purchase, pay attention to quality and functionality; there's no room for compromise. Don't buy just because something is trendy. Choose things you truly need, that you're 100% committed to, and that fit your wardrobe. Over time, you'll see that having fewer, but more thoughtful, and higher-quality clothes will make your daily wardrobe choices easier. The feeling that something's always missing will disappear.

A capsule wardrobe combines several crucial principles: paying attention to the quality of clothes, minimizing the amount of belongings, and using what we already have. All of this, in turn, is linked to conscious purchasing decisions, the idea of ​​"less waste," and sustainable fashion. With a capsule wardrobe, you can eliminate your clothing dilemmas, but also make an impact on the environment and support ethical Polish brands.
