Capsule wardrobe checklist full#

White tee (gifted) – I’ve been through my fair share of white tees and come to the conclusion they’re never worth spending a lot of money on. Long sleeve stripe tee* – I love this top so much and I’m so angry with Cos for discontinuing it. Kind of wish I’d got it in a light grey too. Really high quality and lots of Steve Jobs vibes. Turtle neck* – this has been with me for years. A lot of these items are old and or out of stock now so I’ve linked to similar items in these cases. Any item that is part of a previous campaign or has been gifted is clearly labelled.

Capsule wardrobe checklist full#

Here it is in full – my entire year round capsule wardrobe as it currently stands. So let’s take a virtual spin around my rail. This has been a strange stream of my work to navigate but ultimately, as long as I stay true to my values, I find this to be a great way to discover new brands I wish I’d known about before and share them with you too. Having the privilege of being able to work with brands since starting my blog has undoubtedly had an influence on my wardrobe. My first minimalist year round capsule wardrobe blog post is still my most read post and although I’ve been sharing my seasonal wardrobe updates ever since, it feels like time for a full overview.

As someone who is notoriously indecisive (I changed my wedding dress three times) that’s some going. One thing hasn’t changed since I began my capsule wardrobe adventure – I never get bored of owning less but better. I wear everything but some pieces a lot more than others. If anything I think I may have a few too many. Now I’m up to 45 pieces and I feel really happy with the amount of clothes I own right now. Pieces have worn out, have been outgrown or simply no longer feel like me. Last time I wrote this post my wardrobe was at 32 pieces. At heart I think we all want to find ourselves and we all want to feel a sense of ease when we get dressed in the morning. They’re sustainable, more cost effective and take up a lot less space so I can easily see why. It feels like the rest of the world has only increased its appetite for capsule wardrobes. The mindful style category is so popular I even created an ebook so I could help anyone looking to create their own version. I think these are mainly the items that will get your through the days without hassle.I’ve been obsessed with simplifying my wardrobe for over five years now and the capsule wardrobe side of my life has become a return feature on this blog. We also have a few simple thin tops in his wardrobe that we previously had, so I didn’t include those in the graphic above, but they are on the checklist.

I also have a video on this, if you’d like to see what the items look like in “real life”, haha 🙂 Hope you found this helpful if you’re trying to put together your little one’s spring wardrobe as well. We need a cardigan to keep him warm when it gets chilly at the park and a rain coat for rainy days. I also want thin layers for when the days get warmer.

I usually try to think of our daily/weekly routine and for what types of situations we need clothes.įor example, my toddler has started nursery a few months ago, so he does need some comfy, not too thick layers for those days. It’s so much easier to get them dressed in the morning when most items mix well together. I find that this works really well for us, since almost everything goes together nicely. Mostly greys, creams, brown tones, bit of navy and a few pops of colour. COLOUR SCHEMEĪs usual, I went with a pretty neutral colour scheme. I used to have about 4-5 pairs of bottoms and that would be good, but now I find that I need about 7-8 to make it a bit easier on myself to catch up on laundry. So we end up coming home with super dirty bottoms almost every single time. That is because my toddler has become so much more interested in puddles and going wild at the playground in the dirt – haha! I have noticed since my previous capsule wardrobes, though, that we have started going through bottoms/trousers a lot quicker than we used to. However, we do laundry nearly everyday or every other day, so the items on the checklist below are enough to get us through. Since we have a washing machine with a tumble drier as well, I can get away with having fewer items of clothing – because I can wash them and have them dry quite quickly if I absolutely need to. Whenever I do this declutter/shopping session, I try to keep in mind a few things to make my life easier: LAUNDRY ROUTINE
