    In this article I am going to teach you how you can make your personal collection of outfits. A capsule wardrobe is a collection of beautiful, high-quality clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create a wide variety of outfits. Having a capsule is great because it saves our money as we spend on some clothes and have a lot of outfit combinations. This guide is for making wardrobe for both men and women. Here is the complete guide for making a capsule wardrobe.

1. Declutter your closet


    As we are going to create a new and well organized wardrobe let's remove our old and useless cloth items. Go through all of your clothes and accessories and donate or sell anything that you haven’t worn in the last year or that doesn’t fit well. This will give you a clearer picture of what you actually wear and what you need to add to your capsule wardrobe. 

2. Define your style


    After removing useless items the next step is to define our style. Look for inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram and make a list of the colors, patterns, and styles you like the most. This will help you make more rational purchases and avoid buying items that don’t represent your style or that you won’t like to wear. You can also find inspirations from other websites on internet and find your taste.

3. Choose versatile pieces


    Now we have to select different pieces of clothes. Be sure to buy flexible and adoptable items. These mixed type pieces will help you different outfits. Look for basic items like neutral-colored t-shirts, jeans, and other types of clothing that can be dressed up or down. Also, look for pieces that can be used double way, like cardigans and jackets.

4. Invest in quality


    While it may be tempting to buy cheaper, lower-quality items to save money, investing in higher-quality pieces will save you money in the long run. High-quality clothing items will last longer and won’t need to be replaced as frequently, saving you money in the long run. Look for items made from durable materials like cotton, linen, and wool.

5. Shop secondhand

One of the best ways to create a capsule wardrobe on a budget is shopping secondhand. While shopping second hand quality still matters a lot. You can shop second hand clothes from different local or online stores. You may check items before purchasing them. Remember for a shopkeeper everything in his shop is good but as a customer you should check the products efficiently.

6. Stick to a color palette


    We are are making a capsule wardrobe for experiencing a better lifestyle. As we have to make more outfits sticking to a color palette is very important. Because we follow a color pattern we will find alot of combinations for our better look. Choose a few neutral colors like black, white, and beige, and add in a few accent colors like blue, green, or red. This will make it easier to create good outfits and ensure that all of your clothing items work well together.

7. Prioritize comfort:


 Finally, while building a capsule wardrobe never give up your comfort. Choose clothing items that are comfortable and easy to wear, like soft t-shirts and stretchy pants. This will ensure that you actually wear the items in your capsule wardrobe and feel confident and comfortable in them. You should try different types of clothes to check whether you are comfortable with them or not.
