Does your capsule wardrobe fit your lifestyle?

When building a capsule wardrobe, it's tempting to want to copy and paste the closet of your favorite influencer, but in order to truly build a wardrobe you love, it needs to fit your lifestyle.

Not only do you want to choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched, but you also want to take into account your personal style, the activities you participate in on a regular basis, and the climate in which you live.

To start building your capsule wardrobe, begin by taking inventory of your current closet. Identify which pieces you wear most often and which ones you rarely wear. Donate or sell items that no longer fit, are outdated, or don't align with your personal style.

Next, think about the activities you participate in on a regular basis. Do you work in an office or from home? Do you have a lot of social events to attend? Are you active outdoors or do you prefer indoor activities? 

When it comes to selecting specific items for your capsule wardrobe, here are a few suggestions:

1. Tops: Choose a mix of basic tees, blouses, and sweaters that can be layered and worn in different ways.

2. Bottoms: Look for versatile pants, skirts, and shorts that can be dressed up or down. Consider the length, fit, and fabric based on your personal style and the climate where you live.

3. Dresses: Choose a few dresses that can be worn on their own or layered with a jacket or cardigan. Look for styles that flatter your figure and can be worn in multiple seasons.

4. Outerwear: Select a few jackets or coats that can be worn over different outfits. Think about the climate in which you live and choose pieces that are appropriate for the weather.

5. Shoes: Look for shoes that are comfortable and versatile. Choose a mix of flats, heels, and sneakers that can be worn with different outfits.

By following these tips and selecting items that align with your personal style and daily routine, you can create a capsule wardrobe that is both practical and stylish. Don't forget to have fun with it and experiment with different combinations to see what works best for you!
