I have nothing to wear! We hear this from our girlfriends and say it ourselves very often. How to solve this question creating a capsule wardrobe , advised by Laura Arnicane/ True wardrobe .

What is a capsule wardrobe?

The capsule wardrobe consists of relatively few pieces of clothing that are easy to combine parts.

An important capsule wardrobe trend – quality over quantity.

How many pieces of clothing to introduce in the capsule wardrobe? There is no fixed number, but the basic idea is: do not fill the closet with too many garments. To prevent this from happening, Laura recommends focusing on needs:

1. what you need to get dressed,
2. what you need to feel comfortable
3. what you need to be able to express yourself with clothes.

Invest and look for quality clothing that can last for a long time. It means to choose sustainable clothing , which can be worn for several seasons, for several years.

Quality is extremely important - so that the clothes do not shrink, do not lose their good quality just because they are washed. Quality and expensive branded clothing - no need to put here equal sign. We can also buy quality clothes in second-hand clothing stores or humpalas or borrow, exchange clothes of girlfriends or sisters.

Why introduce a capsule wardrobe?

• One of the great benefits of a capsule wardrobe is the combination possibilities. You will perfectly learn to combine and choose the right clothes without thinking about pants or skirts as a separate unit, spontaneously buying everything that I like it, but the wardrobe in general. When you buy a new sweater, you already imagine how you will combine it with for various items already in the wardrobe. Why not get a sweater that will go with just one specific one pants? If you won't be able to combine it with other clothes, the red sweater together with the white pants will do just fine get bored
• Another advantage - you can make a choice and get dressed much faster, because you don't have to spend time at the closet, thinking - what to wear. Plus, each of these capsule wardrobe items will go well with the others.

• Resources saved – time, energy, money. When you shop consciously, you will avoid aimlessly wandering through clothes stores, you will save money that we otherwise waste in the wind, buying things that fit in the wardrobe, never not worn.
• Being confident that my clothes fit, I have something to wear, I know what I'm buying and what I need likes, misses tossing in the world of fashion and grows self-confidence.
• Often, the capsule wardrobe is deceptively associated with boring, uniform and restrained Scandinavian-style clothing. In fact, by introducing a capsule wardrobe, we can develop our own style. A capsule wardrobe can be created at any age, in size and style. By planning and thinking about your wardrobe, you are more successful in developing your own style and so much more not be influenced by external irritants – Instagram , advertisements and supermarket fashion.

We pay more attention to our wishes and needs.

Practical recommendations for creating a capsule wardrobe

• Think about shopping already at home. Create a moodboard , explore the existing contents of the closet, realizing how else what is missing is to think about what things should be added to the contents of the closet, in order to find opportunities to diversify the clothes combinations.
• When weeding out clothes from the closet that you don't want to wear anymore, you have to think about what doesn't suit me in this piece of clothing and don't like The more we learn to draw conclusions, why we buy something or why I didn't do the right thing choice, the more accurately we will be able to make decisions in the future. If we don't realize the reasons, but a piece of clothing simply we throw it away because we don't like it - mistakes in the purchase of clothes will most likely be made again.

• Before we go to the store, it will be useful to play with the clothes already in the closet. Maybe Have a cool new combination you hadn't thought of?
• Go to the shop with the list. One should not set excessively high expectations, for example, setting oneself that the blouse to be purchased may only be in a specific cut. However, if there is a certain direction - for example, necessary dark trousers with a classic cut, you will know the direction in which to look, but with options for variation, as in this in this case, black, dark blue, and gray pants will do. By understanding what exactly you are looking for in a store, shopping time is decreasing.
• When buying something new, you should think about whether this piece of clothing can be used in at least five different combinations with for clothes already in the closet.
• Don't push yourself into frames you don't feel comfortable in, deciding that now my closet will only be minimalist style clothes or a certain number of clothes so that the wardrobe does not become boring. There is no capsule wardrobe for the number of clothes formulas. When thinking about the functional, don't forget about yourself - what I need, how I feel comfortable, what suits me, what style I like .
• The wardrobe can be refreshed by accessories - a colorful bag, interesting boots , a new hairstyle and unusual make up .
