Capsule styling is something I've been doing for a few years and I've found it so effective when it comes to styling pieces that I totally forgot I own. Typically speaking for me the rules are endless as I enjoy playing around with my style, colours and textures depending on my lifestyle and the changing seasons.
Why I find capsule living easier
I tend to work with around 45 items of clothing and shoes excluding bags and accessories, this is because I wear very little jewellery and own a small selection of handbags, The way this works is to organise first by taking out any items that are seasonal and place them in storage containers or somewhere where you can access them at any time, then try organising your closet by colour and not type, this way not only does it look more streamlined but, it has a polished feeling and its easier to select an effective colour pallet. Normally my capsule wardrobe will run for 2 months, however I will swap out a few items that may not be working due to the weather or lifestyle changes.
Take a couple of hours to really think about your style and how practical each item is with your lifestyle, this way you can build your wardrobe on items that you know you will wear you may find it helpful take into consideration any social or family events.
Its really important to have fun and be creative, capsule styling can be difficult to get right especially if your a beginner but, it really can be an effect way to spend less time thinking about what to wear and more time enjoying and exploring life.
