The concept of capsules has been very common recently: stylists offer everyone to build a wardrobe from scratch, get rid of unnecessary clothes and instead change into minimalistic and stylish capsules. Today we will analyze what is meant by this concept, how and why you can assemble a capsule wardrobe, and how it differs from the basic one. Let’s go!
WHAT IS A CAPSULE WARDROBE AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM A BASIC WARDROBE?
Even the stylists are often confused in terms of what to expect from fashion magazines that offer to limit the wardrobe to five or thirty-five pieces. To avoid confusion, let’s make a clear distinction:
A capsule wardrobe refers to a specific occasion you will wear these items for, and a basic wardrobe is what you wear every day.
The basic wardrobe is more extensive: it includes pieces for different seasons, while the capsule one often refers to a specific season – for example, a summer vacation or a capsule for New Year’s parties and corporate events.
The compatibility of clothes is higher in the capsule: each item must be combined with three others. There are no such strict limits in the basic wardrobe.
“Capsules” are smaller in number of clothes, but brighter in color. In the basic wardrobe, the number of pieces is greater, but they are more versatile both in design and shades.
A WARDROBE FROM SCRATCH: WHAT A CAPSULE MAY BE NEEDED FOR
Well, now let’s take a look at the capsule wardrobe: what it may be needed for, and what should be included into it.
Vacation. Every girl collected such capsules at least once in her life: shoes for going out, beach shoes and casual sneakers; a beach bag that will play the role of a shopper and companion on tours, and then whoever likes what: one beautiful dress, shorts, a skirt or trousers and a couple of T-shirts. The main thing is that everything fits together and fits in a suitcase.
Office / public speeches / exams. Such capsule is for the cases when you need to look smart, strict and businesslike. We recommend choosing a spectacular jacket, well-fitting trousers and a skirt, and then show your imagination and choose a turtleneck, a top, a shirt and a blouse so that they blend perfectly with both the jacket and the “bottoms”. Include shoes in this capsule, and you will always know what to wear if tomorrow you are called to the interview of your dreams.
Holidays. Weddings, birthdays, corporate parties and other events where it is necessary to shine – in order not to spend money every time, immediately collect an elegant capsule. What to include here? A dress that suits all of these occasions, the perfect pair of trousers, a skirt, and one or a pair of “tops” with eye-catching details. By the way, tops and blouses can even be basic – just add a piece of jewelry from our VOVK Accessories section to this capsule!
CAPSULE WARDROBE 2019
Capsule wardrobe 2019 can be anything – here you already need to start from your life priorities. For example, if you are actively involved in sports, run marathons and post your split photos on Instagram every day, you most likely need a sports capsule, and if you can’t imagine life without going to raves and parties, you will need a separate mini-wardrobe for such occasions.
Women’s capsule wardrobe is simple and very interesting. Its main goal is to ease the pain of choosing, and protect you from buying unnecessary clothes every time your friend gets marries, or the best party in the world is thrown tomorrow.
Get ready for all the pleasant events along with the tips from VOVK!
