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, hei sinn 5 Tipps déi Iech hëllefen Äre ganz eegene Kapsel Kleederschaf ze kreéieren:
- Wielt Äert Faarfschema, fir e klenge Kleederschaf ze hunn, deen an all Situatioun passt, deen Dir begéint, musst Dir Är Faarfpalette am Kapp behalen, dëst beinhalt d'Auswiel vun e puer Basisfaarwen, déi mat allem kombinéieren, wéi schwaarz, brong, gro, wäiss oder marine (déi ass eng zimlech cool Faarf wann Dir eis frot). All aner Elementer, déi Dir wäert droen, sollten Nuancen vun de Basisfaarwen sinn, déi Dir gewielt hutt, elo sollt Dir fäeg sinn all Är wäertvoll Kleedungsstécker ze kombinéieren, während Dir nach ëmmer sou gutt ausgesäit wéi Dir benotzt hutt.
- Betruecht Äre Kierper Form, dëst ass en entscheedende Schrëtt fir Iech bequem mat Äre Kleeder ze fillen, Dir musst sécher sinn datt d'Kleeder déi Dir gewielt hutt fir Äre Kierper passend sinn, zum Beispill, andeems Dir Kapmouwen droen wann Dir méi breet Hëfte hutt, well dëst wäert Är Schëlleren ausgesinn méi proportional par rapport zu Ären Hëfte.
- Bedenkt Ären Teint, dat geet och Hand-an-Hand mat deem aneren Tipp, wielt Faarwen déi mat Iech selwer, Ärem eegene Kierper kombinéieren, well et Faarwe gëtt, déi Iech méi hell maachen oder déi Iech op eng oder aner Manéier méi profitéieren. Et ass just eng Fro vun Ären eegene Virléiften.
- Wielt klassesch Formen a Mustere, fir an Ärem Kleederschaf ze halen, sollt Dir iwwer laangfristeg denken, vermeide Kleedungsstécker, déi Dir mengt, wäerte séier aus dem Datum goen. Also denkt drun datt wann Dir Är Kleeder kaaft.
- Wielt héichqualitativ Stoffer, dat ass ee vun de wichtegsten Tipps, Äre Kleederschaf sollt aus héichwäertege Kleedungsstécker an nohaltege Moudekleeder besteet. Dëst wäert net nëmmen Är Kleedungsstécker méi laang halen, awer et wäert och Äre Kuelestoffofdrock reduzéieren. Mat engem Kapsel Kleederschaf ass et egal ob de Präis vum Kleedungsstéck méi héich ass, Dir wäert net bal sou vill Kleeder kafen wéi eng normal Persoun, also investéiert Dir am Fong just an Iech selwer.
Well, this is it, we hope these 5 tips have helped you understand what you need and how you can create your own wardrobe dat hëlleft Iech Ären Impakt op dësem Planéit ze minimiséieren, wärend Dir Iech och e minimalisteschen an einfache Liewensstil léisst.
