how many items do you need for your capsule wardrobe?
When creating your capsule wardrobe one question that arises is how many items you should be owning in order to keep it „capsuled”, nice and clean. This is a subjective question with a subjective answer that varies from person to person, however, we will still try and answer it for you.
The thing is, it all depends on the person, for example, how often do you have to change clothes? do you live in a place where vast differences between summer and winter? These are things that condition a lot the number of items that you should be having in your personal capsule wardrobe.
The general rule is that you should be aiming for about 30 items in total, this includes accessories, shoes, t-shirts… About 7-10 t-shirts if you do your laundry once a week or more, a few pants, winter and summer clothes if these are necessary… You may also want to aim for a larger number of items if you live in a zone where the climate differences through the year vary a lot, as we said before.
The number of clothes you need depends entirely on your personal situation, so feel free to change your number of items yourself after considering your necessities.
how to choose the best staple clothing
Now that you have an idea of how many items your new capsule wardrobe should have, you should also know how to choose the best staple clothes that will fit in it, as we said before, staple clothing means garments that can be combined in numerous ways while also complementing your style, without further a due, let’s go on.
- Choose a few plain-colored items, plain colors usually combine with everything and go well with every occasion. Thinks like plain white t-shirts, black dresses, etc. They will also give you a minimalist look and complement your style very well, although you may also want to be somewhat more expressive and wear brighter colors, that’s fine too, but having a few plain-colored items does help a lot.
- Always buy clothes with your color palette in mind, when searching for staple clothes for your capsule wardrobe you always have to prepare in your mind what fits your style and what doesn’t, what goes with the color palette you chose, and what doesn’t compliment your other clothes. You may sometimes forget this and you end up buying garments that you will either have to return or resell because they don’t fit your style.
- Choose a few personalized designs, customized items are awesome, not only because you can wear garments with your favorite quotes, your own name, or whatever you want to put on them, but also because you will feel a lot more attached to that item, making you truly treat it like you married it, lasting you a lot longer than your other garments. You will also feel more confident while wearing that customized garment because you feel like you’re wearing something that you „made yourself”.
- Take the 30-day rule and amplify it, the 30-day rule is one that we have talked about before, it basically says that before buying a garment you should ask yourself „Will I wear it a minimum of 30 days?”, then if you say no, discard buying it. Because you are going to make a capsule wardrobe, you should change that rule to be something like „Will I wear it a minimum of 300 days?”, and adapt this to your own preferences.
Now that’s it, remember, you don’t have to own a lot of clothes in order to have a lot of styles, for those who watch Family Feud, just remember when Steve Harvey said that you only have to buy 5 suits with colors that combine with one another and then you can interchange these items in order to achieve 70 possible combinations, 70 possible suits or styles out of 5 that you originally bought. Now that is the magic of staple clothing.
5 tips that will help you create your capsule wardrobe easily
Now that you know this, we will give you a few tips so you can succeed in your mission to create your own capsule wardrobe. Having said that, Hjir binne 5 tips dy't jo sille helpe om jo heul eigen kapsulegarderobe te meitsjen:
- Kies jo kleurskema, om in lytse garderobe te hawwen dy't past by elke situaasje dy't jo tsjinkomme, moatte jo jo kleurenpalet yn gedachten hâlde, dit giet om it kiezen fan in pear basiskleuren dy't kombinearje mei alles, lykas swart, brún, griis, wyt of marine (dy't is in aardich koele kleur as jo it ús freegje). Alle oare items dy't jo sille drage moatte skaden wêze fan 'e basiskleuren dy't jo hawwe keazen, no moatte jo al jo kostbere klean kinne kombinearje, wylst jo noch altyd sa geweldich sjogge as jo eartiids.
- Beskôgje jo lichem Foarm, dit is in krúsjale stap om jo noflik te fielen mei jo klean, jo moatte derfoar soargje dat de klean dy't jo kieze binne geskikt foar jo lichem, bygelyks troch kapmouwen te dragen as jo bredere heupen hawwe, om't dit jo skouders sil sjen mear evenredich yn relaasje ta dyn heupen.
- Tink oan jo teint, dit giet ek gear mei de oare tip, kies kleuren dy't kombinearje mei josels, jo eigen lichem, om't der kleuren binne dy't jo bleker meitsje kinne of dy't jo op ien of oare manier mear profitearje. It is gewoan in kwestje fan jo eigen foarkar.
- Kies klassike foarmen en patroanen, Om jo garderobe te hâlden, moatte jo tinke oer lange termyn, it foarkommen fan klean dy't jo tinke dat se gau út 'e datum geane. Tink derom dat by it keapjen fan jo klean.
- Kies stoffen fan hege kwaliteit, dit is ien fan 'e wichtichste tips, jo garderobe moat wurde gearstald út hege kwaliteit klean en duorsume moade klean. Dit sil jo klean net allinich langer duorje, mar it sil jo koalstoffoetôfdruk ek ferminderje. Mei in kapsule-garderobe makket it net echt út as de priis fan it kleed heger is, jo sille net sa folle klean keapje as in gewoane persoan soe, dus jo ynvestearje gewoan yn josels, yn prinsipe.
No, dit is it, wy hoopje dat dizze 5 tips jo hawwe holpen te begripen wat jo nedich binne en hoe't jo jo eigen garderobe kinne meitsjedat sil jo helpe om jo ynfloed op dizze planeet te minimalisearjen, wylst jo ek in minimalistyske en ienfâldige libbensstyl kinne libje.
