Capsule wardrobe nearly there?

6 replies

FluffyPinkCloud · 22/09/2018 04:48

I’m trying to capsulise my wardrobe. It currently consists of 2 black pencil skirts, a grey pencil skirt, a wine coloured shorter skirt, a flared Aline black skirt, a flared Aline grey skirt and a mustard yellow shorter skirt. To go with those I have various long and short sleeved tops in black, white and turquoise and pink. Then i have dresses, khaki, red, (one long sleeved one short sleeved), a black dress, a couple of black and white dresses although they are different, have one pair of fitted black trousers, 2 blouses, (one white and one black) and i have various scarves and accessories. Want my wardrobe to see me through every season and for it to be “classic chic” where can i cut back (if anywhere)?
TIA X.

Difficult to say without seeing everything but perhaps too many colours? Which ones really suit you?

Personally I would keep black white grey wine and mustard (as you listed these skirts first so I guess you like them? - odd logic maybe)
Put everything else away for a while in a bag and see if you need to go "shop" from it, then do the coat hanger thing where you turn them all one way and turn back on each item you wear over a period of time, get rid of what you haven't worn after x period

Does that help?

Yes thanks. I’ll turn everything around and see what i don’t wear. I live in skirts and dresses hence why I’ve probably got too many.

I recommend the Stylebook app for capsule wardrobe planning. Easier to see it all laid out and you can try out different combinations on there.

No jeans or jumpers?

FluffyPinkCloud · 22/09/2018 16:37

No I don’t wear jeans and yes I forgot cardigans and jumpers. I have a grey, 2 different black ones, a red and I’m on the hunt for a camel turtle neck.

I've never known anyone to suit all those colours. Maybe you need to consolidate your colour choices.
