The concept of a capsule wardrobe is to only include quality items that will work together in multiple ways. Maybe you’re going for 30, 37, or 45 items that can create multiple different looks with just a few basic essentials. Remember, that number will include your trousers, tops, sweaters, shirts, outerwear, cardigans, dresses, and shoes. The items should be chosen according to season, and only worn for that particular season, before transitioning to a new capsule. However, the number doesn’t include a fancy dress for weddings or that extra special holiday party, or the lounge clothes you love to wear while enjoying your favorite show.
