There are a lot of things, but the problem of daily choice has not disappeared. Common situation? A professional stylist claims that it’s all about the capsules. I didn’t immediately understand what the capsules had to do with it? But now I’m convinced that this approach will allow you to spend less on clothes and look more varied. But first things first.
What you need to know about a capsule wardrobe
A basic wardrobe cannot fully satisfy all the needs of everyday life. Therefore, the main things should be supplemented with separate capsules.
What is a capsule wardrobe
A capsule is a specific set of things designed in the required style, palette, or intended to be worn on specific occasions.
Attention! A capsule wardrobe includes 5-10 elements, of which it is easy to combine 10-15 sets.
Each new item is selected to fit perfectly with existing items. When creating capsules, in most cases we are talking only about clothing. Shoes and accessories can be more varied and are selected later.
Things that are taken as a basis should be as simple and universal as possible. After all, the more different prints you use, the more difficult it is to mix them with each other in the future. Prints are used only in top items, and the bottom must be plain.
Stylists note that no more than three colors should be used to create a look.
Benefits of capsules
Those who have tried putting together a capsule wardrobe never give it up in the future. This is due to its advantages.
This is an opportunity buy minimum things and thereby save decent amounts.
Each new thing becomes thoughtful. After all, women buy a lot of unnecessary clothes while shopping, having absolutely no idea how they will be used in the future.
Lack of clutter in the closet: only really necessary things are purchased. The base is built not on quantity, but on the compatibility of things with each other.
You don’t have to think long about what to wear today. Time is freed up for sleep, rest and other more useful activities.
What capsules does a woman need?
A wardrobe can consist of several capsules: for work, for sports, for relaxation and free time. If necessary, there can be much more.
It is imperative to have basic things that can be easily played out.
For business style is a pencil skirt or classic trousers.
IN everyday In this option, the bottom is also selected first: jeans, skirt, shorts, and then the top: blouses, sweatshirts, shirts.
Evening The look is played up by a couple of dresses, but you can also include a smart skirt and top. A variety of belts, jewelry, shoes, and over the knee boots are selected for the dress.
Thus, the same thing with different accessories will look different.
A coat is considered a basic item, with which the rest of the wardrobe items are combined.
If the office does not have a dress code, then it is permissible to create a base of things that will fit into everyday work and are suitable for meeting with friends, going to the cinema or the park.
A separate capsule is selected for each season. After all, winter requires the presence of warm clothes, and summer requires lighter items. There are also off-season items that can move from one category to another. In spring, with the onset of sunny days, you can experiment with the color palette by adding bright and light shades. In summer, don't forget your swimsuit.
Important! In your main wardrobe it is advisable to have 2-3 capsules for all seasons.
How to make a capsule yourself
Every girl can create a capsule without the help of stylists and image makers. To do this, you need to follow the following recommendations.
Analyze your lifestyle. It is worth drawing a diagram and dividing it into sectors according to areas of life. For example, it could be relaxation, parties, office, sports, etc. Next, you need to select the sector that takes up the most space in the circle.
Advice! For a woman on maternity leave, most things should be intended for relaxation and at home. If office clothes predominate, then it is better to get rid of them.
Next you need thorough wardrobe check, which consists in removing unnecessary things and freeing up space.
Develop a style concept in detail, think about how it will fit into your lifestyle.
Select a style and category of clothing. It should be comfortable. For example, there are girls who prefer skirts to trousers and vice versa. However, sometimes it's still worth trying something new.
Consider color preferences and choose only shades that suit you. In this case, you should not give in to fashion.
Based on the information collected and its analysis, you can safely go shopping to purchase what you are missing.
Reference! Also follow the rule of three things: each thing must be combined with three others.
A capsule wardrobe is the ideal solution for those who want to look diverse. Its formation requires time and some effort, but the result certainly deserves it.
