In the 70s of the last century, the owner of the London boutique Susie Faux had the idea of creating a special collection of clothes. The latter, in turn, should consist of outfits that will be relevant in the fashion world forever. This idea was called a capsule wardrobe, examples of which already in 1997 could be observed in the company J.Crew.
The most interesting thing is that if you do not take into account accessories, then this collection has from 6 to 12 pieces of clothing. At the same time, they are all interchangeable. Regardless of whether you want to wear a skirt or jeans today, the image will remain stylish and complete.
How to make a capsule wardrobe?
To learn how to make a competent capsule wardrobe , it is important to remember its rules:
- things are selected solely by the type of figure ("apple", "hourglass," "rectangle," and so on);
- further it will not be superfluous to understand what base color you want to have in the capsule collection for the autumn-winter (dark color scale) and the spring-summer period (light shades);
- before going shopping, it is important to determine your color pattern;
- another principle of the capsule wardrobe - each capsule should be divided by purpose (for example, for work or solemn occasions).
Examples of how to accurately make a capsule wardrobe:
- Collection for the evening exit . Here the main thing is to take as a basis some one clothes and already to pick up other things. So, if the "main characters" are a dress or a skirt, then they should choose jackets, shoes of the bag of that color range, which will perfectly harmonize with them.
- Office capsule wardrobe . So, a set of clothes for a hike to work can include several types of shoes (a small heel and a hairpin), blouses of different fabrics or colors, a pair of trousers, a dress-case, a pencil skirt. Do not forget that each capsule is updated depending on the time of year.
- Capsule wardrobe in the style of kazhual . Casual is ideal for going to university, school or just relaxing with friends. Here, for the basis, you can take even your favorite cardigan and try to pick up jeans, accessories, jewelry, shoes.
