DIY Style: How To Build A Capsule Wardrobe In 2024

The fashion industry is an ever-evolving and expanding multi-billion dollar industry. There is nothing wrong with it, but the rise in fast fashion has led to a negative impact on the environment. If this trend continues, our planet Earth will be under extreme stress. It’s high time, we make conscious fashion choices. One one of the best ways to do this is by building a capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a concept of collecting versatile and essential clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. The idea is to have a small collection of high-quality pieces that can be worn for a long time. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can build a capsule wardrobe. 

How To Build A Capsule Wardrobe

Here’s a step-by-step process to build a capsule wardrobe: 

Assess Your Current Wardrobe

The first step to building a capsule wardrobe is to assess your current wardrobe. Take a thorough look at your wardrobe and assess each clothing item you have. Understand its condition and ask yourself whether you wear it often or not. Divide them into four categories: versatile, ill-fitted, wear often and discard. You can donate the ones to needy people that you have kept under the discard category. You can get your ill-fitted clothes altered. You will be surprised with the space you have created in your closet. 

Understand Your Personal Style

Having more space in your closet doesn’t mean you have to shop for more. The catch to building a capsule wardrobe is to understand your personal style. Get an understanding of the colours, patterns, silhouettes, and designs that are comfortable for you. This will help you pick relevant pieces.
