Capsule wardrobes are all the hype right now, and it’s easy to see why.

With clean colour palettes, minimalist designs, and a clear focus on quality, the capsule wardrobe has offered us a whole new approach to quick and easy fashion.

In this blog, we’ll delve into some of the benefits of a capsule wardrobe, as well as tips on how to effectively create your very own.

Why Invest In A Capsule Wardrobe

Believe it or not, a capsule wardrobe actually makes choosing an outfit for the day slightly easier. Because, instead of getting overwhelmed with a wardrobe full of clothing items, you will have a carefully curated collection of items that can be easily mixed and matched.

Also, we love the intentionality of creating a capsule wardrobe. Instead of running towards low-quality, fast fashion items, a capsule wardrobe allows you to be more intentional with your spending by opting for higher-quality items.

So, if you are the kind of person who loves minimalism or who simply needs to curb their shopping habits, then a capsule wardrobe might just be the answer you’ve been looking for all along.

Build Your Capsule Wardrobe With Rockport

Here is our step-by-step guide on how to get started on creating your very own capsule wardrobe:

1. Assess Your Wardrobe

Take a moment to really go through every item of clothing in your wardrobe.

This is a great opportunity to do some serious decluttering. Don’t toss everything, but consider letting go of some pieces that have been collecting dust in your wardrobe. Sort these into three bundles: keep, donate, and throw out.

2. Define Your Personal Style

Now that you’ve sorted through everything, take a moment to look at the clothes you intend to keep, to help figure out your personal style and colour palette.

Identify the staples in your wardrobe and let this help you determine a fitting colour palette that you can stick to going forward.

3. Plan Outfits Around Those Staples

Begin planning outfits around those staples with the remaining clothes in your ‘keep’ pile.

This will help you set a base and prevent decision fatigue when trying to get ready in a pinch. Now is also the time to identify which items might need replacing from your earlier worn-out pile.

4. Organise Items According To Season

Organising your wardrobe according to seasons is a fantastic way to avoid overcrowding and keep things neat.

For example, in the warmer seasons, it is unlikely that you’ll be wearing those thick, puffy coats; so why not pack them away in storage instead? The same can be said for winter. It’s unlikely that you’ll be walking around town in shorts, so consider packing away a couple of pairs.

5. Focus On Quality Going Forward

The key to maintaining your capsule wardrobe is to avoid getting sucked into spontaneous buying. That means, avoid falling for those bargain sales, and instead, save up to purchase high-quality items, as this promises longevity and comfort.

Is Footwear Important For Your Capsule Wardrobe?

Most people agree that footwear can make or break your outfit. But at the same time, we are also done sacrificing our comfort for fashion.

With Rockport, there’s no need to compromise, because our stylish designs always promise comfort. And this is key when putting together your capsule wardrobe, because now you can finally avoid an endless collection of shoes, each for a different occasion.
