How to Build a Green Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe caters to your own needs and lifestyle. So, when you are trying to build one for yourself, make sure all the pieces included are functional and practical for you.

List your daily activities

The first step to building a capsule wardrobe is to identify and list all your daily activities. This step is important as every person has different life and needs. College students’ capsule wardrobes can look very different from white-collar workers.

Include the key pieces

Once you have done listing your daily activities, include the key pieces that cater to your lifestyle. For example, a college student may need comfortable pieces like sweaters and hoodies as well as formal pieces like blazers for formal presentations.

Create a color palette

Color palettes help you build cohesive outfits. Include colors that can match each other well so you can create many different stylish outfits form your capsule wardrobe. One way to create a well-balanced and good color palette for you is to learn more about your own personal color.

Some people look good in warm colors while some look good in cool colors. Learning about your own personal color can takes time but it is worth it.

Green Capsule Wardrobe Color Palette

There are many good color palettes you create based on the green color. I will give you a few examples for your guide. Any color can be warm, cool, or neutral colors. Green is a cool color because it has a cool undertone. However, when you add a yellow tone to it, it can become a warm green.

Here are examples of warm, cool, and neutral green colors:
