Published on January 15, 2020, a common struggle many women face is deciding what to wear to work. Despite having a large wardrobe, it's not uncommon to feel like you have nothing to wear. One woman's solution was to adopt a capsule wardrobe approach, which involves paring down your closet to only the most essential and versatile pieces.
According to experts, a capsule wardrobe is a set of clothing items that are seasonally appropriate, stylish, and can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits. The key is to focus on a few key pieces that you love and will wear repeatedly, rather than trying to keep a large collection of trendy items.
Building a Capsule Wardrobe for Work ¶
So, how do you create a capsule wardrobe for work? Here are the essential steps:
- Base: Start with a core set of pieces that can be mixed and matched, such as a black dress, floral dress, plain skirt, straight-leg trousers, and a pair of jeans.
- Tops: Add a variety of tops that can be paired with your base pieces, including plain and printed, long-sleeved and short-sleeved, and different lengths and colors.
- Blazers and Cardigans: Add a few blazers and cardigans that can be paired with your base and tops, such as black, brown, and light grey cardigans, and a black blazer.
- Shoes: Finally, add a variety of shoes that can be paired with your outfits, including flats, heels, ankle boots, sandals, and sneakers.
By following these steps, you can create a capsule wardrobe that is both stylish and practical. Remember to store your 'extras' separately and keep out-of-season clothes stored away until you need them.
