If you don’t love your clothes, you need my wardrobe capsule formula. Make outfits that fit your body type, personality, and lifestyle. You don’t need 100 pieces or thousands of dollars. My wardrobe capsule formula and checklists will make you the fashion authority in your own closet.
1 | YOU HAVE TOO MANY OPTIONS
Camo Jacket | Jean Shirt | Cacoon Cardigan | Graphic T-Shirt | Short Sleeve White T-Shirt | Matching Hoodie & Jogger Set | Flared Leggings | Spanx Leggings | Bootcut Jeans | Sneakers | Bag | Tote | Espadrille Sandals |Black and White Platforms
Most capsule wardrobes have too many options. When all of the pieces don’t mix and match, no matter the combination, the simplicity of making outfits falls on you. My wardrobe capsule checklists usually have 7-10 pieces that all mix and match. You can make more than two weeks’ worth of outfits no matter what combination you choose. My secret is in the sourcing. I edit my capsule wardrobes to only include key pieces that flatter most body types and are styles and silhouettes that work well together.
Shoes Are the Glue
If you have a closet full of nothing to wear then I bet it’s a shoe issue. Having the right shoe can make or break an outfit. Start with knowing which shoes go the best with the most popular jean styles. Visit Jen’s Jean Shop for more. Every capsule I create has the best shoe options and a lookbook with all of the outfit formulas.
From boots to sandals, I recommend a wardrobe of neutral shoes with different types of heels. This ensures you’ll always have the right shoe on hand.
2 | YOUR PIECES ARE DULL AND DATED
It doesn’t matter if your wardrobe is packed with prints or an all-black capsule wardrobe, if you want to look current then make sure your closet essentials are updated. For example, buy new jeans in styles and washes that look the best on your body type. Try tops with new sleeve styles. Donate tired pieces that have design details like jeans with tiny zippers or bedazzled pockets that prove you bought them a long time ago.
