Having a capsule wardrobe highlights two things: maximizing the versatility of your clothing, and also giving more options for outfits with what you already have. Part of what makes minimalist/slow fashion fun is that if you ever get stuck in a rut, you can just go into your closet and get creative instead of buying new things all the time.
Earlier this year, I did a 10 x 10 challenge over on Instagram for the spring/summer season. I chose 10 items of clothing (which includes shoes and handbags, but not jewelry). With the ten items I picked out, I created ten outfits that I thought would be nice for any every day event.
I think that this challenge could work for any person's wardrobe, but it does take some creativity. So If this is something you're wanting to try out for yourself (whether if your wardrobe is big or small), I think you should go for it. An updated version of this challenge for the fall/winter season will be coming up soon on my Instagram, so stay tuned for that!
10 x 10 SAMPLE GUIDE:
1 white t-shirt
1 black t-shirt
1 statement piece (shoes, handbag, blouse, shirt or pants)
1 pair of denim jeans (dark wash, boyfriend fit, ripped, etc.)
1 pair of black jeans
1 black blazer
1 leather jacket
1 handbag of choice
1 pair every day shoes
1 pair dressier shoes
*Remember that accessorizing is all in the details, so even if you don't have much color in your wardrobe, don't be afraid to play with that in other ways, like makeup or hair accessories. Do what works for you, and as always, have fun!
