Are you ready to simplify your life and have a style that suits you?
Imagine opening your wardrobe and creating a sublime look where you feel beautiful and confident! You coordinate your pieces and create a look that stands out, that represents you and where you feel confident 🖤
If so, this article is for you! I will reveal to you the secrets to creating a stylish, chic and comfortable capsule wardrobe, which will allow you to dress easily and tastefully in all circumstances.
The base
What is a capsule wardrobe? A capsule wardrobe is the art of putting together a set of looks with a limited number of pieces (clothing and accessories). It consists of a thoughtful selection of 20 to 40 quality items, chosen for their versatility and their ability to harmonize with your body shape and your personal color palette. This way you can create many different outfits with just a few elements. Thanks to this concept, you can vary your outfits and avoid the syndrome of “I have nothing to wear” or “I don’t know how to dress”.
Adopting a capsule wardrobe means opting for a simplified, economical and elegant life, while strengthening your daily confidence.
My advice
Do you dream of having a capsule wardrobe that allows you to be stylish and chic, but you don't know where to start? Don't panic, I'll give you my advice for creating your ideal wardrobe that reflects your image with few pieces, but lots of style!
Here are my tips:
🌟The first thing to do is sort through your current clothes. Some clothes that you no longer wear and/or that you no longer want to wear, sell or give them away (I bet your cousin loves that little top that you no longer wear!) Keep only the ones that you wear often, that fit you good and that match your lifestyle (comfort above all!)
🌟 Define your personal style. This is perhaps the longest part. Among your clothes, what colors, cuts, materials and prints do you like and which make you stand out? Do you like the retro and vintage side? Do you prefer modern and comfortable pieces? Do you love complex and eccentric looks? Do you like flowing and delicate clothes?
YOUR style = YOUR personality!

🌟 Choose a harmonious color palette.
Attention disclaimer: a capsule wardrobe is not necessarily made up only of clothes in neutral tones such as black, white, gray, beige or navy blue!
A capsule wardrobe reflects YOUR personality, YOUR uniqueness!
Do you like colors? Do you love combining a piece that has a neutral tone with pastel colors? Is having dynamic colors in your wardrobe a non-negotiable?
You don't have to fit into a mold, follow the trends of influencers (who are often paid by brands to promote a style of clothing without necessarily wearing it again). Your look, your clothes are the first thing people see about you.
To form your capsule wardrobe, you can go with different possibilities! Dare to combine colors and prints with each other, while being harmonious if you want! Do you want to wear a white t-shirt? No worries, combine it with other pieces (pastels, neutrals, colorful) to get THE look that suits you!
It's up to you to create the essentials for your wardrobe that you can combine with the other pieces in your wardrobe.
💡My little tips: an afternoon with friends where you try different looks and combinations to see which ones suit your personality best, all with kindness.
🌟 Accessorize with taste or how to spruce up an outfit with accessories (belts, bags, jewelry, etc.). Accessories are the final touch that will enhance your outfits. Choose discreet or bold jewelry depending on your mood, a belt to highlight your waist, a scarf to warm your neck, a chic and practical handbag, etc.
🌟Vary the combinations. With your capsule wardrobe, you can create dozens of different looks by mixing pieces together. Have fun changing your style depending on the occasion and your mood: casual, elegant, bohemian, rock, etc.
🌟 Select pieces that highlight your body shape. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your clothes, comfort is essential! I wrote anarticle on how to choose clothing according to your body type and I gave some ideas for choosing colors
🌟 Among all your pieces, choose pieces that are called "basic" like a jacket, a t-shirt, which become essentials and which you can complete with pieces that can be called "strong" (a jumpsuit, a long skirt, an accessory...) which will give character to your looks. So you will have bases, which you can mix together, and combine them with other pieces in your wardrobe in order to have THE sublime look that you are looking for
There, you know everything ! You're ready to create your capsule wardrobe and simplify your life while remaining stylish!
