How to create a capsule wardrobe






What is a capsule wardrobe?

It a minimalistic wardrobe that focus on the idea that  having less is more and  better to have quality over quantity.
It is a more environment friendly wardrobe.
You will be so happy with your clothes that you want mind to use them again and again.


I though it will be good to show you  step by step how I make my capsule wardrobe.

  1. Choose your number of important pieces.
  2. Choose some extras. 
  3. Store or donate the rest.
  4. Make a new capsule wardrobe every 3 months.
  5. Enjoy your new simple wonderful wardrobe.



  • I choose 10 pieces. But the number is up to you. The less clothes the better for simplicity. Dresses, trousers, skirts, shorts, blouses. This pieces make you feel good when you wear them and they fit well right now. This is what you will be wearing most of the time.
  • The extras are all the other clothes that you need to complete your wardrobe. Dresses for special occasion, underwear, jackets, shoes, scarfs, bags, t-shirts, pyjamas, training clothes... You get the point. I am trying to make this number of items as small as possible too.
  • The rest you either donate or you store it away.
  • Before a season starts,  you make a new wardrobe that you love with the things that you have put away. If you are missing something you buy it.  Choose quality. You want your new clothes to last as long as possible and to fit you perfectly. But I promise that you won't feel like shopping so much because you will be so happy to get some of you things back from where you stored it. When you shop, you will do it guilt free and you won´t regret you purchases.
This time of year is the best time to do it too. You will be changing to your summer wardrobe anyway and cleaning your closet will make it easier to see what to have, what it fits  and what it doesn´t, what pieces you are missing and what to pack for your summer holiday.

The benefits of a capsule wardrobe are many.

You will feel like you always have something nice to wear.

Less laundry.

You will feel like you don´t need to buy all the time.

The environment will thank you.

It will make you feel good and happy.

Easier to pack when travelling or going on holidays.

You will save money.

You will find your true style.

You will love your clean closet.

You will feel amazing with what you are wearing every day.

Do I need to say more?
What are you waiting for?
It´s time to spring clean your closet! 
Enjoy it...
