Do you have a full wardrobe but still feel like you have nothing to wear?

If your answer is yes, you are likely not alone. But, have you ever wondered why this is? A common reason is that when we buy things, a significant majority of the time we do it on impulse and we don’t consider how many different ways we can actually style the item(s), or how it will ‘mix in’ with our existing wardrobe. The result of impulse buying is a wardrobe full of clothes that can’t be styled together and so, we feel as though we have ‘nothing to wear’.

Impulse buying and not thought out purchases can therefore make getting dressed each morning a chore. When faced with a new job, occasion, event or other, we find ourselves running to the shops to get a new outfit rather than putting together and styling our existing clothes. Instead, wouldn’t it be lovely to open your wardrobe and shop from it? Having a capsule wardrobe turns the chore of choosing your morning outfit into an easy and enjoyable part of the
day. Well, what a better way to start your new year than by editing your wardrobe and creating a capsule wardrobe!
First of all, what is a capsule wardrobe? A capsule wardrobe is a limited collection of clothes which coordinate well with one another and can be styled in a variety of ways to cater for different occasions. Therefore, it acts as a highly functional closet as it is very well thought and built to last. Most pieces involved are classic styles which don’t go out of fashion. According to studies, Brits spend over 65% more on clothing, than the famously chic French.

The average Brit shell out more than £1,000 on new clothes and shoes each calendar year. While the average French person spends around £600 to achieve ‘The Look’. The British fashion council says the British fashion industry contributes around £26bn to the UK economy each year. Despite this, France still holds the reputation of being the more stylish nation. French women tend to buy fewer and better quality clothes, as opposed to, constantly
renewing their wardrobes with poor quality, fast fashion. So, the key for creating your own capsule wardrobe is to not get seduced by fast fashion and
buy items that are classic, timeless and have the quality to last. A big ticket purchase that you love can actually turn out to be of value when compared to an endless string of disposable purchases.

Key benefits:

  • Save time when getting dressed each morning
  • Save money over the long run
  • Helps you to create a lot of different outfits with core key pieces
  • Good for the environment (Did you know – 3 out of 5 items made in 2018, ended up in a landfill within a year)

  • Easy to manage
