Four Steps For Building A Chic, Yet Fun Capsule Wardrobe

Capsule wardrobes have been the buzz for a while…and for good reason. Narrowing down the items in your closet to build a go-to wardrobe will help you achieve putting together chic looks that save time before leaving your door. Focusing on ways to style basic pieces is a great way to get use out of the clothing that you already own. When shopping for additional pieces, you will find it is easier to add statement pieces as well as high quality items to invest in. Here are our four steps to achieving a fun and beautiful capsule wardrobe for Spring! 

• There is a good chance you already own most of the staple pieces that can be incorporated into your Spring capsule wardrobe. What items do you see yourself most drawn to?
• Remember to keep in mind comfort as the clothing you will pick will be worn frequently. 

2. Slowly Add What You Don’t Have:

• There might be a few items you’d like to invest in to enhance your style. This could be a colorful jacket, vibrant shoes, or delicate dress. Now that you know what you have, it is easier to find what will fill the holes in your mini wardrobe.
• A staple item many people include is a turtleneck and long sleeve shirt for layering. Our Mesh Top comes in a few colors, has a mock neck, and is the perfect long sleeve for layering.
• A few statement pieces to offset your basic items is a great way to add personal style in a fresh way. The Gala Dress in the Pastis color is romantic with soft details, perfect for any Spring outing. 

3. Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Patterns: 

• A misconception about capsule wardrobes is that they only can be very neutral and plain, this does not have to be the case.
• If you have many patterned clothing, finding ways to mix and match them together can be a fun way to express yourself especially during the Spring and Summer months. 

4. Build Your Outfits: 

• The final step is to actually use your capsule wardrobe. It may take some time to get used to only having access to a portion of your clothing, however it will become easier to assemble outfits when building on basic pieces and layering.
