What is a Capsule Wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of curated clothing items that can be paired with one another to create different outfits daily. Capsule wardrobes can be revised based on your needs at the moment.
For example, you could have a college capsule wardrobe, maternity capsule wardrobe, or summer capsule wardrobe, all at different times of your life.

Include base colors
Base colors are the key to building outfits. Colors like black and white are a must-have in any capsule wardrobe’s color palette.

Neutral colors can be varied from one individual to another. This depends on what skin tone and skin undertone you have. Some of the neutral colors are beige, tan, brown, khaki, and taupe. Learn how to determine your skin tone and undertone here.
