Capsule wardrobes have recently gained a lot of popularity with people deciding to keep their wardrobe with some basic items that never go out of style and can be easily paired up with each other.

By keeping your wardrobe minimalistic, you would only have about 40 items, for example, so you can afford to keep your basics good quality and perhaps even not on the fast-fashion side. Good quality items are the key to a good capsule wardrobe, so try and avoid items that are bad texture or from dodgy brands that you don’t trust. Keep it always quality over quantity, this way no matter how simple you might decide to dress you will always look good and smart.

Avoiding clutter and hoarding pieces that you don’t like or use at all will keep your mindful of the way you organise your wardrobe. Not having a messy mountain of items will make you feel less stressed and overwhelmed, and you will notice yourself feeling better about it.
