Creating a capsule wardrobe

Capsule wardrobes are essential if you enjoy fashion and minimalistic life. Creating a closet like this will help you dress quicker and have better-looking outfits. In today's fast fashion world, everyone looks horrible and wasteful. If you enjoy trend hopping and having little children sew your clothes, a capsule wardrobe isn't for you.

Ready to have a closet glow-up? If yes, here's how:

What does a capsule wardrobe feel like?

It feels like walking into a calm space full of meaning and appreciation.

How do you curate your clothing?

First, remove all clothes, shoes, and accessories from your closet. Grab each piece and ask yourself questions about the article. Does this item make me happy? Does this item look timeless? Can I style this item in multiple ways? What kind of material is this made of?

These are all essential questions you need to ask yourself.

How do I narrow down my choices?

Now comes the hard part: narrowing down your choices. Minimalism is a tough choice, especially for fashion enthusiasts. A capsule collection gives you less clothes but more quality. Ask yourself about the value of your clothes. I'm not saying you must have a huge budget to have a nice closet, but if the sweater you are fighting over is from a fast fashion brand, that's all I need to say. Sure, you can get excellent staple pieces for an affordable price point, but how long will that piece last you? If you feel it's made poorly, I suggest donating or selling it.

How do I buy clothes for my capsule wardrobe?

Now, with a more mindful closet, you won't spend money on stupid cheap clothing. Now, you can either buy first-hand or second-hand high-quality pieces. The secondary clothing market is a great place to find high-end clothing for cheap. As you consistently grow your capsule wardrobe, you'll become a clothing collector and not a fast fashion consumer. Look at that: I've saved you from the fast-fashion monster. We all know you'll be cringing over the brief fast fashion phase in five to ten years. So, do yourself a huge favor and create your capsule wardrobe.
