We look at the warmer weather ahead, make a conscious effort to avoid skinny jeans and jumpers, and try new things in terms of our outfits.

Invest in statement pieces
One of the big areas and focus of a capsule wardrobe would be the statement pieces that you invest in. It could be the iconic white shirt, the pair of jeans that can be worked for all types of outfits, the coat that would be worn or even the skirt or trousers you have. There needs to be a few statement pieces that could be rocked in different ways and that can be quite versatile. Many people invest in these pieces and consider designer choices to ensure that they get the quality and the look they are after.
Don’t forget the accessories
Accessories play a key part in the terms of the capsule wardrobe. They can really make the difference between the type of look you are trying to create. Some designers of jewelry or shoes are worth investing in, as you know that they are iconic and stand the test of time. Other pieces might be more to do with trends for different seasons. Accessories can make an outfit stand out, they can change it from casual to glam or vice versa. They can give you confidence, help you to feel comfortable or just really add the wow factor. Don’t be afraid to add accessories to your capsule wardrobe, as these will be the ingredients to help you make different outfit combinations.
Think ahead to outfit combinations
The next thing to think about would be to think ahead to some of the outfit combinations you could create. Putting the capsule wardrobe together means that you have to consider what item will go with other items so that you can continue to create different outfits with the limited amount of items you have. Think about color choices, patterns and textures. However, don’t be afraid of mixing them up a little and trying new and exciting combinations.
Step out of your comfort zone
Finally, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. A capsule wardrobe should give you the comfort to do that, as well as enabling you to think outside of the box when it comes to different combinations. A capsule wardrobe gives you the security of trying textures and patterns together as well as trying new colors.
I hope these tips gives you the guidance to create your capsule wardrobe for the spring season ahead.
