It probably took years for you to collect all the clothes you have in your closet. However, a stuffed closet may be overwhelming and having a capsule wardrobe can make your morning dressing easier and effortless. So, keep on reading for the 4 steps to starting your capsule wardrobe.

Take everything out of your closet and examine each piece. You might have pieces that have special meaning to you, but you do not wear. However, sentimental clothing must be placed in a different storage and must not stay inside your closet. Every woman has clothing she feels like she “should” own, but if you don’t wear it, don’t keep it. You don’t have to own anything that doesn’t work for you.

  1. Create a “keep” pile and a “discard” pile.

You should now have a “keep” pile and a “discard” pile. If the piece of clothing sparks joy and you reach for it on a regular basis, place it in the “keep” pile. On the other hand, if it doesn’t serve you anymore, place it in a “discard” pile. Ones that you’ll put in discard pile might be sold or donated especially if the clothes are in great condition. The ones you’re going to put in the keep pile are keepers and have a place in your new wardrobe. However, those clothes with signs of wear should be replaced. Remember, a capsule wardrobe is less clothing, but you want these pieces to be in great condition so you can look fabulous with ease.
