The Benefits of Capsule Wardrobes

Yesterday I posted on my social media pages (you can find me here on Facebook and here on Instagram) about wardrobes. I asked my community whether their wardrobes were more minimalist or maximalist. Here's the post:

(Bonus points if you know who the wardrobe on the right belongs to!)

Which one are you? Mine resembles the one on the left, as I have a capsule wardrobe. I had a great response to the post, so I thought I'd continue the conversation through this week's blog post!

So what is a capsule wardrobe? It's a small, curated wardrobe where each piece has been specifically chosen to work together with every other piece to create a large number of outfits. 

My capsule wardrobe is made up of 27 pieces: 7 bottoms, 14 tops, 3 layering pieces and 3 dresses. These have all been chosen to work with my colouring, body type, style personality and lifestyle. 

You may be thinking, "How can someone have only 27 pieces in their wardrobe?!"

Well, here's the thing: most women wear only 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time. Think about your own wardrobe: how much of it do you actually wear on a day-to-day basis?

Having a capsule wardrobe streamlines and brings peace back into your wardrobe. You don't have all this clutter that you have to sift through to find an outfit in the morning: everything in your wardrobe has its place and is practical for your day-to-day life. 

Here are a few other benefits of a capsule wardrobe:
​

1. You get more outfits from less pieces
2. You wear close to 100% of your wardrobe
3. Getting dressed in the morning becomes much quicker and more peaceful - for example, you can pick out a top and some pants without much thought and they're guaranteed to work together
4. Your wardrobe will support your lifestyle - you will always have something to wear, no matter the situation
5. You'll look and feel more confident - you know that everything in your wardrobe looks amazing on you and reflects your personality, so you aren't spending the day worrying about your appearance

Capsule wardrobes are the smarter way of creating a wardrobe. They stop you from spending too much time in your wardrobe every morning and get you back to living your life!

P.S. If you guessed the "maximalist" wardrobe pictured is owned by a Kardashian, then you'd be correct! It's owned by Khloe Kardashian. Apparently she transformed two huge bedrooms into this wardrobe. Can you imagine trying to find an outfit to wear?!
