9 Bloggers Who Will Inspire Your Capsule Wardrobe

While we believe it’s every girl’s dream to have a closet full of fabulous garments for every occasion, there’s a new trend in fashion that aims to minimize the closet while maximizing endless outfit possibilities. The capsule wardrobe was created by Susie Faux, a London-based boutique owner who believed in creating stylish outfits with a few essential staple pieces and accenting those staple looks with seasonal garments. The idea is that your wardrobe would be made up of staple garments like a pair of jeans, black pants, a sweater, a tank top, a T-shirt, a little black dress, a blazer and a few outerwear pieces like a jean jacket. All of these garments are usually solid-colored and neutral so they can be mixed and matched countless times and paired with seasonal statement pieces. The capsule wardrobe aims to simplify getting ready in the morning and prevent consumers from filling their closet with clothes they will never wear.
