CREATE YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

In a context of ecological crisis, it is becoming essential to review our consumption patterns. Responsible for 17 to 20% of water pollution in the world, the textile industry is strongly criticized. However, changing your habits overnight seems tedious. How can we be more respectful of the environment while wearing clothes that we feel good in? How can we stay stylish without consuming too much?

In recent years, the concept of the capsule wardrobe has become more popular. The principle is simple: starting with around twenty pieces, create as many outfits as possible by mixing them.

We know that in a world where we are constantly pushed to consume, this can seem complicated, even boring. However, the capsule wardrobe has many advantages. No more unnecessary spending on pieces that will end up forgotten in a dark corner of your closet, no more stress of having to choose between hundreds of clothes!

But then, how do we do it?

First, analyze the pieces of your wardrobe that you wear the most, taking into account your lifestyle. What do you wear to work? Do you go out a lot? In general, how would you define your style? Your capsule wardrobe should be in keeping with your daily environment.

Secondly, choose your basics. Currently, most of the wardrobes we see on social media are mainly composed of minimalist basics. For us, these are essential pieces because they are easy to mix and match. However, if you never wear a white t-shirt, why include it in your selection? The importance of the capsule wardrobe is to be able to wear the same pieces differently throughout the month.

Third, choose key pieces. In our opinion, to avoid the boring side of the capsule wardrobe where basics are repeated, it is important to include more extravagant pieces. These pieces will probably not be able to be incorporated into every outfit, but they will allow you to highlight your style.

Finally, give your wardrobe time to build itself. You don't have to limit yourself to 20 pieces, add to your selection according to your desires and needs. Some trends are good to follow if they suit you and are viable. The advantage of the capsule wardrobe is that by limiting the number of pieces purchased, you can invest in better quality clothes that will follow you over the years.
