Simplifying your wardrobe without sacrificing personal style.
When searching online for examples of capsule wardrobes, you'll find countless how-to guides featuring monochrome neutrals and wardrobe staples. Each one contains a list of "must have" essentials that are always the same: white tees, blue jeans, beige trench coats, and oversized blazers.
While having a wardrobe full of minimalist basics in a neutral colour palette might make getting dressed easier by streamlining your clothing options and simplifying your outfit choices. It also limits the opportunities for experimenting with personal style.
That's why capsule wardrobes don't work for most people in the long term. When you follow generic style advice you end up with a generic wardrobe—and that's when it all falls apart!
But a capsule wardrobe doesn't have to be boring. Whether you prefer minimalist style or dopamine dressing, monochromatic outfits or colourful clothing; it's possible to create a capsule wardrobe that's unique to you—and isn't full of neutral basics!
To create a capsule wardrobe that reflects your personal style, focus on finding style inspiration and recreating outfits instead of following a pre-set list of "must have" pieces. You'll quickly discover the clothes you love to wear—and those you don't!—and start developing a unique personal style.
Wear what makes you happy and your capsule wardrobe will never get boring! Once you have a clutter-free wardrobe where every item sparks joy, you'll be able to create multitude of outfits that never feel boring to wear.
