Have you ever felt like you have nothing to wear, despite always buying new clothes? You’re not the only one! Thankfully, Jasmine Silk is here to help you compile a capsule wardrobe that ensures you will always have a fresh new ‘fit to wear to every occasion, without spending money on new outfits each time a new plan gets added to your diary.
But what exactly is a capsule wardrobe? Imagine a simplistic clothing collection which consists of a neutral-coloured base and over layers that you can pair with one another to create endless outfits… That’s your capsule wardrobe. Having a selection of fewer clothes which work well together will mean that you’ll get much more wear out of your wardrobe with more options to mix and match for new looks. Of course, you can always add more eccentric and colourful pieces and accessories to your collection too!
To start putting together your very own capsule wardrobe, you need to find pieces that are timeless and will never go out of style. To get the most out of your capsule wardrobe, it is best to invest in clothing that will last longer so you can wear them for years to come.
There’s no need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe! Start by sorting through your current clothing and pick out all the pieces you wear regularly. If there’s an item you’ve not worn in a while, leave that out as you’re likely not to need it. Once you’ve got all the current pieces you like to wear often, you can start to put together outfits with them. That way, when you start shopping for new pieces, you’ll know what you will be pairing them with. Your capsule wardrobe should aim to have the following:
- T-shirts, vests, bodysuits or dresses (whatever you like to wear as a base)
- Shirts, shackets or cardigans (stylish over-layers to pair with your base and add depth to your outfit)
- Leggings, trousers, jeans and skirts (a good range to mix and match with the above)
You’ll find that you already have some of the above, maybe even all if you’re an avid clothes buyer! But if you do find yourself shopping for pieces to add, opt for simple yet versatile pieces that will pair with your existing clothes and any future clothes you’re thinking of buying.
Remember, longevity is key. Good quality clothes that won’t shrink in the wash and will stay looking beautiful for years to come. Silk is a great material for long-lasting staple pieces that will last you many wears. Find comfortable base layers for your capsule wardrobe in Jasmine Silk’s clothing collection.
When creating your capsule wardrobe, try and keep it sustainable. This goes hand in hand with clothing longevity too! Fast fashion options and modern online clothing retailers mass-produce clothing with low-cost materials with no real longevity. It is also tempting to purchase ‘trendy’ fashion items that can be worn once or twice and then will remain in the back of your wardrobe gathering dust. Try and find fashionable pieces that you know you’ll be able to wear and re-style time and time again.
We hope this handy little capsule wardrobe guide has helped you determine what to look for and how to compile the perfect capsule wardrobe… Happy styling!
