What is a Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is made of curated timely and essential pieces of clothing that you can mix and match easily, while establishing a cohesive style without coming off as a one note closet. You can keep one year-round, or swap in seasonal accents without purging everything. Stay on top of the trend, or don’t. The point is to have a customizable closet that not only fits you, but can grow with an evolving style— without going stale.

Why it Works

• Versatility – The 3–3–3 rule (three tops, three pants, three shoes = 27 outfits)This is a beginners level concept so it is a great way to not only establish your basic sense of style but it also leaves you with a wide variety of outfits. Get in get out.

• Sustainability – Staples are timeless. Once you find yours, you can rotate statement pieces in and out without feeling off-trend.

• Ease – A capsule wardrobe is your basic style so you can easily establish a uniform. This makes getting dressed easy and predictable without going stale.
