Capsule wardrobe

[(Anonymous)]

I just learned about this and I'm baffled by it.

Here are a couple articles:
http://theeverygirl.com/how-to-create-a-capsule-wardrobe
http://bemorewithless.com/how-to-build-a-capsule-wardrobe/

So...apparently there were people out there who didn't know that you could wear different shirts with the same pair of pants? And they might have had a spending problem on top of that?

I don't understand?

I think the point is to build a wardrobe where everything goes with everything, and not to have 20 pairs of pants and 40 shirts and end up with only four combinations that look good together.

Right, and I don't understand how people didn't realize that they could do this.

Re: Capsule wardrobe

Seriously. I have a bunch of black leggings, two pairs of pants, and an addiction to shirts. >.>

Re: Capsule wardrobe

Eh, not everyone "gets" clothes. My husband still asks me what clothes go together and I've had several friends who did the same. Some people just don't know what pants/skirts go with what shirt/blouse.

Okay, that's fair. But does your husband think that every shirt only has one pair of pants it can go with and vice versa? Because that's the thing I'm struggling with. I don't understand how anyone, anywhere, can be told, "you can wear the same pair of pants with an array of shirts" and be like, "holy shit mind blown."

Making sure that everything goes with absolutely everything seems weirdly OCD to me.

I mean, some of my clothes will go with everything, and everything will go with multiple things, and I never have to worry about what I'm going to wear in the morning, because even on the rare occasions when I don't pick out my outfit the night before, I've still got plenty of options to mix and match with.

(And wow, that's a lot of shoes.)

All this time, I wasn't poor and unable to afford a bunch of clothes, I was just ahead of the fashion curve.

wow

I think it's a way for fairly-well-off people to feel good about simplifying

imo most people who have some but not a lot of money to spend on clothes already dress like this, except with fewer shoes

Re: Capsule wardrobe

I don't wear solid white apart from some bras and pairs of socks. there's way too much white in that first group.

Re: Capsule wardrobe

People also don't realize that you can wear a pair of jeans more than once before washing them, that you can clean your shoes rather than just throwing them away, that you can have clothes hemmed really cheaply, etc.

Re: Capsule wardrobe

[(Anonymous)]

Or even how to hem clothes themselves!

Re: Capsule wardrobe

[(Anonymous)]

I suck at hemming, but I darn like a champ.

Re: Capsule wardrobe

I don't think it's that people don't understand how to mix and match, but that some people don't know how to look at the big picture. They're good at buying clothes they like individually, but not good about thinking about how an item will fit in with what they already have or whether an item fills a need that isn't already being filled by clothing they already have. They have lots of clothes and "nothing to wear" and the only thing they know how to do is buy more clothes.
