Fewer clothes, more outfits. That is the idea behind a capsule wardrobe: a small, clear collection of garments that can all be combined with each other. No more full closet with doubtful pieces, but a set in which every piece has its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret of a capsule that really works? Color. Below you can read what a capsule wardrobe is, which questions to ask yourself beforehand and how to put one together in your colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a capsule wardrobe<\/em>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A capsule wardrobe is a deliberately chosen set of garments, often a few dozen pieces per season, that combine well with each other. Instead of constantly buying something new, you wear the same pieces in ever-changing combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage: you do not have to think long in the morning, you shop more consciously and your closet stays clear. A capsule does not have to be strict or minimalist. What matters is that everything you own actually gets worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why color is the key<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fewer pieces you have, the more important it is that they go together. Trousers that only work with one top are a wasted spot in a capsule. By choosing all your clothes from one color palette, almost everything combines with everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more, the colors then also suit you. That way you not only have a closet that works, but also outfits in which you look fresh. Do not know which colors those are yet? Read what colors suit you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 questions to ask yourself beforehand<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Which colors really suit me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A capsule in colors that make you look washed out will never become a favorite. So start with your palette. With a color fan you can be sure you choose shades that suit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What do I wear most now, and why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a critical look at your favorites. What do they have in common in color, fit or fabric? Those pieces often form the best base for your capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Does my closet suit my life right now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We sometimes buy clothes for a life we do not really lead: smart work clothes while you work from home, or party dresses while you rarely go out. Make sure most of your capsule suits your daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Which fits feel good?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A capsule consists of pieces you wear often. So choose fits in which you feel comfortable and that flatter your figure, even if they are not in fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What am I still missing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make a wishlist of the pieces you really need to complete your capsule. That way you shop in a targeted way instead of impulsively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. What do I want to invest in?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because you wear your capsule pieces often, it pays to choose good quality. Especially with basics such as a coat, trousers or blazer, you quickly earn that back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to put your capsule wardrobe together<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with a color plan. Choose two base colors, two or three main colors and one accent color from your palette. Then fill in per category. An example of a capsule for one season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
