What is a Capsule Wardrobe, Exactly?
What Is a Capsule Wardrobe? (And Other Closet Questions)
When it comes to our closets, the most sustainable practice is to wear what we already own. Donating clothes contributes to textile pollution; as such, it’s prudent to wear and re-wear our garments until they are thoroughly worn out. But what is a capsule wardrobe, exactly, and how can you create one if you have a closetful of items you simply aren’t wearing and will likely never wear again?
Amanda Warfield is a capsule wardrobe expert who argues that the average woman wears 20% of her closet, 80% of the time. That’s because we naturally gravitate toward the few items that fit our unique body type and make us feel fabulous. Conversely, we shy away from pieces that don’t quite fit or bum us out.
Are you ready to tackle your closet? On this week’s episode Amanda and I are thrilled to identify the 7 items you’ll want to keep but can responsibly let go when decluttering your wardrobe including those jeans that fit your skinnier self, those on-trend items, and more. (Amanda also offers up her Closet Clean Out Helper, which is available in the Show Notes as a free download.)
