Step 1: Declutter Your Busy Wardrobe 🧹

Before you build a capsule wardrobe, you need to clear out the clutter. Which are the clothes you need to get rid of?

Ask yourself: 

Do I love it? 

Do I wear it often? 

Does it fit and make me feel great? If not, donate it, sell it, or repurpose it. Less is more!

Step 2: Choose Your Base Colors 🎨 

Pick two or three neutral colors that form the foundation of your wardrobe. Think black, white, navy, gray, or beige. These colors will make mixing and matching a breeze.

Now, sprinkle in a few fun pieces that reflect your personality—maybe a bold blazer, a colorful scarf, or a patterned dress. These keep your wardrobe from feeling boring.

Step 4: Stick to the Magic Number (30-40 Pieces) 📏

 A typical capsule wardrobe has 30-40 pieces, including: 

✅ 5-7 tops

✅ 3-5 bottoms

✅ 2-3 dresses

✅ 2-3 jackets

✅ 3-5 pairs of shoes

✅ Accessories that complement everything

Step 5: Shop Smarter, Not More 🛍️ 

Instead of impulse buying, invest in high-quality basics that last longer. Before buying anything new, ask: 

Will this match with at least three other items in my wardrobe? 

Do I already own something similar?

Step 6: Rotate Seasonally 🌦️ 

A capsule wardrobe isn’t static! Every season, swap out weather-appropriate pieces to keep things fresh without overstuffing your closet.
