Capsule Wardrobe
Capsule Wardrobe
A Capsule Wardrobe for a man consists of classic styles, high quality materials, and excellent construction that are tailored to fit and can be combined in versatile ways to create multiple outfits.
A Capsule Wardrobe should be minimal.
A Capsule Wardrobe should not follow the latest trends, but be based on basics.
A Capsule Wardrobe should keep to a color scheme that focuses on neutral colors. Pops of color should come from accessories.
A Capsule Wardrobe should be tailored to your personal style and lifestyle.
What should be in a Capsule Wardrobe?
Aim for no more than 30 items in your Wardrobe, excluding workout clothes, underwear, etc.
