Capsule wardrobe is getting more and more popular<\/h2>\n

Like many things, the \u201ccapsule wardrobe\u201d concept started as a very niche practice until it got popularized by Marie Kondo\u2019s decluttering bible and a general minimalist aesthetic. So, let\u2019s dive into this phenomenon a little deeper.<\/p>\n

Firstly, let\u2019s take a look at where this concept came from. The term was first mentioned by wardrobe consultant\u00a0Susie Faux<\/a> in the 1970s. It derived from her frustration with the lack of well-made clothing<\/a> (does it sound familiar to you?). However, it only became mainstream when designer Donna Karan decided to create the first capsule collection in 1985 called\u00a0\u201dSeven Easy Pieces.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Today,\u00a0Business of Fashion<\/a> defines it as something more commercial than traditional fashion collections. \u201cThe idea was to create a capsule wardrobe that features only the most essential or influential pieces from a collection. A capsule collection is essentially a condensed version of a designer\u2019s vision, often limited edition, which transcends seasons and trends by being functional.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=“16px“][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=“16px“][vc_single_image image=“59501″ img_size=“full“][\/vc_column][vc_column width=“1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=“16px“][vc_single_image image=“59505″ img_size=“full“][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=“16px“][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Capsule wardrobe can help you express your personal style<\/h2>\n

Aside from the fashion industry, which utilizes capsule collections in order to produce exclusivity, mainstream capsule wardrobes are more about personal style. Most of the capsule wardrobe enthusiasts got into the game because they were tired of constant decision making. Everyone started to suddenly find it cool to copy Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg with their simple and straight forward choices of clothing (remember Steve\u2019s grey turtleneck?). And while fast fashion and consumerism have made us believe that we must own everything, the result is a closet full of clothes we may never wear.<\/p>\n

Capsule wardrobe forces us to think more about what pieces of clothing we actually like and wear. It prioritizes quality over quantity. One of the early adopters of this method, Caroline Rector<\/a> of Unfancy, describes the concept this way. \u201cA capsule wardrobe is a practice of editing your wardrobe down to your favorite clothes (clothes that fit your lifestyle + body right now), remixing them regularly, and shopping less often and more intentionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Intentions<\/h2>\n

\u201cIntention\u201d has become an important term these days. More and more people, as well as brands, talk about being socially responsible, producing less waste on our planet. Forming a capsule wardrobe slows down the process of shopping and makes you much more conscious. While the movements for sustainability are certainly not new, the modern society now adopts them quicker than ever before. Sustainable living, fashion, and beauty all come down to intentional consumption and decision making.<\/p>\n

Capsule wardrobe helps you focus on finding yourself in your wardrobe instead of trying to live up to other people\u2019s standards. If you have defined seasons (like we do in Lithuania), you can try out a variation of a capsule. It offers to form a capsule for each season (spring, summer, autumn and winter), leaving a limited number of items in your closet for a three months period (it can be as low as you want to!). This type of capsule wardrobe helps to declutter your life and encourage intentional styling throughout each season.<\/p>\n
