wardrobe techniques from the pros.
A capsule is a group of clothes that mix and match and can be bought together to save time and money. Season, color, style and fabric should be considered when grouping clothes together in a capsule. For optimum results, capsules should be built around one or two โanchorโ jackets that can be worn with various pieces in your wardrobe to form suits and other outfits. Versatility is the key to creating a successful capsule.
Once established, a capsule can be expanded and pieces added or replaced very easily. When considering a new addition to your wardrobe, make sure that the piece matches at least three to four other existing garments. This will reduce the โcost per wearingโ of each piece in your wardrobe.
Let’s use a $200 jacket in our example:
First, divide the cost of the jacket by the number of garments in your wardrobe capsule that can be worn with it. Let’s say that I have 1 dress, 2 pairs of slacks and 2 skirts that can be worn with the jacket – a total of 5 garments. (ie: $200/5 = $40)
