Capsule wardrobe is a collection of carefully & thoughtfully chosen clothes that will serve you all year round. These pieces are easy to combine to create different looks for different occasions. Capsule wardrobe is meant to make your life easier by maximising the number of outfits and minimising the collection of clothing.
For some people hearing ‘’capsule wardrobe’’ means a selection of plain boring pieces that create plain boring outfits. But the truth is- capsule wardrobe is something that YOU like and will wear on repeat. And every fashion-lover knows, that it’s not a crime to include a good statement piece or two in your capsule wardrobe.
Statement piece- an item that stands out and draws attention, but also expresses your personality.
There are many benefits of having a stylish AND functional capsule wardrobe. Here are some of them.
First of all- you can save money by buying less things that you almost never wear. Second is- your shopping will be easier un less time consuming. If you know what you wear, what looks good on you and what is your style, buying clothes will be less stressful. And third- your clothes will be timeless so not only you will always look fashionable, but also will express your personal style better.
So how to start building your capsule wardrobe? At start understand what are the pieces that you absolutely can’t live without. These will be your foundational pieces. Then understand what you don’t wear as much and after that, find what is missing to complete your outfits.
When choosing things for your capsule wardrobe, pick things that will be timeless, are made from high quality materials and most importantly- that make you feel like you. Remember- what works for your friend, colleague or family member might not work for you.
Here are pieces that we feel like are the most important when choosing for a stylish capsule wardrobe:
1. A good pair of skirt
Weather they are maxi length or mini. Maybe they are satin? Whatever makes you feel amazing! A good pair of skirt will be your saviour for an unexpected meeting with friends, quick grocery shopping, or a romantic date night.
We recommend: The ‘’All loved’’ satin maxi skirt
2. That one blouse!
If you don’t feel like wearing the famous crisp white button-down, that’s alright! As we said- capsule wardrobe is something that makes you feel good and that you want to wear on repeat! If white isn’t your vibe, try different colours, silhouettes or even materials. Chiffon, satin, cotton- you name them!
We recommend: The satin or signature portree blouse
3. Tailored trousers
Don’t know what to wear to office? Find a good pair of pants and see how many outfits you can create! Pair with T-shirt or sweater if you feel like being comfy or your favourite blouse for more formal look- a good pair of trousers are a must have in every wardrobe!
We recommend: The Black Jade pants or (if you want something more special) pants ‘’Walking through flowers’’
Add to all of this a good high-quality coat or a blazer, cute timeless bag that fits inside everything and a few pairs of shoes for different seasons- and your capsule wardrobe is ready!
