Capsule Wardrobe Tips for Beginners + A Starter Mini Capsule!
by Jasmine October 2020
Putting together a capsule wardrobe each season has helped me identify ways to extend a smaller wardrobe and purchase with intent. I love experimenting with small 5 or 6 piece capsule wardrobes to either try new styles or items. Doing so can help you start experimenting with a smaller wardrobe.
This simple beginner capsule wardrobe example for those of you either wanting to try a capsule wardrobe or adopt a minimalist closet approach. Each item is linked to a tip for how to start a capsule wardrobe. I’ll explain the key pieces, what makes them so versatile and how to style them!
Add color in your capsule wardrobe by balancing it with neutrals. My accent color of this capsule is this pretty red rose. The skirt also injects my personal style into a wardrobe of basic pieces.
Express your personal style with a few fun or accent pieces. This skirt embodies my feminine and modest style yet works well with the rest of the items in the wardrobe.
Find pieces that are versatile, you can wear in different ways. These functional clothing pieces are gold for capsule wardrobes because you can create a bunch of outfits from just one piece of clothing, which means less things but more outfit combinations. This dress can be worn as cardigan too!
Even with a small wardrobe you can still add variety by having different colors, textures or patterns. This is neutral color but the satin silk like fabrics makes it quite dresser.
An outer piece is good way to finish off your outfit and add dimension. Make sure your outerwear pieces can be thrown over all your outfits so it works with your wardrobe.
