What is a capsule wardrobe? Oh, this is a great trend that has been captivating fashion minds for perhaps the last decade: the idea is to make a basic wardrobe of “eternal” fashion items, and then complement it with clothes and shoes that are in trend for a certain season. At the same time, you initially select items of clothing that can be combined with almost everything that is in your wardrobe, and form a variety of daily looks from these cross-combinations. I think it’s a great idea!
Therefore, today all our attention will be directed to the capsule wardrobe. I will tell you how to assemble the capsule, how to complement it with bright accents, and which of the 2021 trends should definitely enter your basic wardrobe this season. Let’s start!
INITIAL MOVES
It’s always easier to start with the basics. The most basic clothing for a capsule wardrobe is a sheath dress, an A-line dress, straight trousers, a turtleneck, a button-down shirt dress, a suiting jacket, a tank top, a flare midi skirt, a plain T-shirt, a trench coat with a waistband, and blue jeans with high rise. All these things should be selected in basic colors: black, white, beige, gray, light blue, blush (this rule also works with jeans, they do not have to be blue). In the future, when choosing different combinations, the basic colors and models will be combined with almost all the options that you choose for a particular season.
BRIGHT CLOTHES THAT GO WITH EVERYTHING
However, a capsule wardrobe and a basic wardrobe are not the same thing. So far, we have only discussed the base of the capsule, and now it’s time to dilute it with bright accent pieces that will change from season to season, depending on the trends. So, for the summer 2021, dresses with a floral print on a colored background are relevant (as a rule, these are small and wild flowers on a sage, lemon, taffy, sky blue and mint background), long sleeves in blue and white or red and white stripes, mini bright dresses and short skirts (turquoise, red, orange, purple are especially popular), as well as delicate pastel suits of both business and casual style.
SILHOUETTES 2021 NOT TO BE MISSED
Your capsule for the summer cannot be left without current designs! First of all, these are loose straight dresses, trapeze dresses, A-line mini skirts, semi-flare and flare skirts of midaxi length, flying floor-length dresses made of chiffon and silk, jumpsuits with wide trousers, high-waisted palazzo trousers and smart casual suits. You can also choose casual items with a sporty focus: for example, hoodie mini dresses, tracksuits with joggers and a pastel-colored sweatshirt with an elastic band, an oversize hoodie.
