A capsule wardrobe contains multiple staple pieces that can be repeated by layering or contrasting with other clothing. It can contain clothing, accessories, and even shoes, all of them being versatile and simple, making it extremely easy to style when you have nothing to wear. It consists of pieces that are easily accessible, sustainable, and also budget-friendly which is why you do not have to be a professional stylist in order to create outfits from your capsule, as everything will be at your fingertips.
Spring is transitional weather, and more often than not, it can become quite complicated to think of outfits beforehand and preplan all your different styling opportunities for the season. With the constantly fluctuating weather, it is better to invest in some staple spring pieces that you can mix and match with several other pieces to create numerous effortless outfits. This can help you create the perfect spring outfit for days when you have “nothing to wear” and make you look put together.
DO’s and DONT’s
- While narrowing down options for your spring capsule wardrobe, DO make sure to ask yourself if you can wear a specific piece more than once in the same week. If not, it is a bold piece that cannot act as a staple, not ready to act as a layer in multiple different outfits.
- DON’T opt for pieces that are bright and flashy. Yes, spring is about the colors and vibrancy, and one piece in your outfit should be vibrant. However, pieces that are glittery (for example sequined tops) or have flashy neon colors should be avoided, as they can clash with the light pastels of the spring.
- DO experiment with jewelry! A capsule wardrobe usually consists of plain pieces that are to be used more than once. So to really make your outfit unique and memorable, go crazy while accessorizing and use jewelry to elevate the overall look of your outfit.
- DON’T overdo it with the layering. Layers may be fun to work with, but in the spring season, too many layers may make your outfit come off as a winter/fall look rather than a spring look. So, layer minimally.
