Does capsule wardrobe sound alien to you? Fret not, it’s one of those millennial concepts which is taking over the world. Before you tune away, stay with me for a bit and you’ll see that it’s a life-changing idea which you need in your life! Without any further ado, let’s dive into the what, how and why of a capsule wardrobe.  


What is a capsule wardrobe?


Essentially it’s a small and functional wardrobe with only stuff that you certainly wear and absolutely need. Most would think this concept is absurd but once you take the leap, you’ll be on board.


The ideal number of clothes in a capsule wardrobe ranges from 28 to 37. It’s a  realistic number because there are plenty of clothes and bottom wear for women in our wardrobes which we dream of getting into one day - those need to go!


How to build a capsule wardrobe?


There are no hard and fast rules - the only broad rule to follow is surviving with as little as possible. Start by:


Cleaning - The first big step toward a capsule wardrobe is cleaning. Chuck out all the old bottom wear for women and make room for newer better ones.


 


Sort out - Including your bottom wear for women, start diving your wardrobe into small chunks:

Yes - This pile includes bottom wear for women, clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. which you love


No - Ones which you’ve never used, never worn or the ones which are as good as new mark the ‘no’ pile.


Maybe - Maybe it’s a favourite colour, design, fit or memory, only you know why a certain bunch of clothes fall under this pile.


Seasonal - The last heap includes raincoats, winter clothes, swimming shorts, etc.


 


Call to action - It’s time to take action.

The love it pile will probably be the biggest. Give it a second look before moving on.


The no pile need to go so donate it away.


You can store you ‘maybe’ pile away for a rainy day.


Store seasonal clothes separately.


If trashing clothes gives you anxiety, just store your bottom wear for women and other stuff away and make room in your closet. Over time if it’s an out-of-sight-out-of-mind scenario, you know what to do with it!


Checklist for your capsule wardrobe


From bottom wear for women to winter clothes, a checklist will give you exactly what you need to survive.


Summer capsule wardrobe


Pick comfortable and light clothes for the summer including:


Bottom wear for women like jeans, skirts, shorts


T-shirts


One-piece dresses


Flip flops, flats and sandals


Hats


Winter capsule wardrobe


Winter is all about layering up and staying warm. You need:  


A bunch of sweaters


Couple of jackets


Scarves


Sneakers


Thick bottom wear for women like jeans


Work capsule wardrobe


You don’t need a different pantsuit to work, instead, choose the smart dressing approach. Use one piece of clothing and mix and match it with two or three others. 


Bottom wear for women like formal pants and pencil skirts


Shirts


Blazers


Formal shoes


Silk tops for layering


Accessories and scarves


College capsule wardrobe


Your college wardrobe is the easiest because there are no hard and fast rules as long as you follow the etiquette.


Bottom wear for women like jeans and shorts


Printed t-shirts


Plain tees


Sneakers and sandals


Tank tops


Dresses


Activewear capsule wardrobe


Depending on the physical activity you indulge in, pick your clothes.


Socks


Shoes


Track pants


Gym bag


Loose shirts


Daily wear capsule wardrobe


A few essentials which you need for running errands, going to the grocery store, etc.


Comfortable bottom wear for women like loose track pants


Loose t-shirts


Footwear capsule wardrobe


You need more than a handful of shoes to keep you going. Here’s what you need:


Workwear shoes


Running shoes


Ballerinas and flats


Flip flops


Partywear


Building a capsule wardrobe is easier said than done. But although it feels impossible in the beginning to get rid of your bottom wear for women, in the end, it’s worth it! If you’re considering a capsule wardrobe, do it at your pace. Remember, it’s not just about de-cluttering your closet but your mind and life as well.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
