Build an efficient capsule wardrobe.
A Capsule Wardrobe is a curated collection of versatile, interchangeable pieces that maximize outfit combinations.
The formula: A typical capsule wardrobe has 30–50 pieces (excluding underwear, sleepwear, and workout clothes).
Outfit combinations grow exponentially with versatile pieces:
Potential Outfits = Tops × Bottoms × Layers × Shoes
For example: 10 tops × 5 bottoms × 3 layers × 4 shoes = 600 outfits
Standard capsule categories:
- Tops: 8–15 pieces
- Bottoms: 4–7 pieces
- Dresses/Jumpsuits: 2–5 pieces
- Outerwear: 2–4 pieces
- Shoes: 4–6 pairs
- Accessories: 5–10 pieces
Climate and lifestyle heavily influence the ideal number of pieces in each category.
