The Capsule Wardrobe

Capsule Wardrobe - it’s a term that is thrown around a lot. But do we really know what it means or what it should include? Many clients have come to me, asking for assistance with a capsule wardrobe, adamant that this is something they need to solve all of their styling woes. But, when presented with it, they panic and think I have stripped them down to nothing.

I have a capsule wardrobe, but I also have pieces that come and go to add to this concept. I could not live with just a capsule wardrobe alone and this is not what it is designed to be in practice.

I am very classic, my capsule wardrobe is super classic, basic, easy. The fun starts when you begin to add your personality, have a little fun, a pop of colour here and there.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advising against a capsule wardrobe - far from! But, we need to remember that this is the base of a good closet and a great place to start, not the be all and end all.
