Capsule wardrobes are a clever way of building a collection of clothing that can be interchanged indefinitely. Possessing a capsule-style wardrobe allows you to come up with different outfits for all of your different social events with the same collection of clothing. Not sure how to start a capsule wardrobe? Worry no more as NADINE MERABI is here to help!
What is a capsule wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of interchangeable clothes that complement one another. They’re often classic pieces of clothing that don’t ever tend to go out of style and are composed of neutral colours. The combination of neutral colours makes it easier to mix and match different items of clothing repeatedly.
A capsule wardrobe allows you to create a variety of different outfits with a small number of clothes.
What are the benefits of a capsule wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe has many benefits, but here are the main advantages:
- Personal style
- Less clutter
- Financial savings
- More confidence
- More time
Personal style
Reducing your wardrobe down to a selection of just a few pieces will better define your style.
Less clutter
Fewer clothes in your wardrobe and bedroom mean less clutter. This also makes it easier for you to make decisions on what you’re going to wear.
Financial savings
Restricting yourself and your wardrobe to a select number of clothing items help your bank balance immeasurably.
More confidence
Having just a small collection of clothes to mix and match for different outfits helps improve your confidence when wearing them. The fact that you’ve come up with the outfit idea yourself will help to build your self-esteem.
More time
Having fewer clothes to choose from also gives you more time to get ready. This makes a difference in the mornings before work and while you’re getting ready to go out with friends, family or a partner.

Neutral base colours
The most important thing you can do when building a capsule wardrobe is to make sure that it’s versatile.
