Springtime means colorful clothing and venturing outdoors to spend some time in the sun. Since spring is here, it also means it’s time to put your spring capsule wardrobe together.

What is a Capsule Wardrobe?

Let’s start with the basics before getting into how you can put together your spring capsule. A capsule has coined during the 1940s and is used to describe a small collection of outfits that are made to be worn together and mix-matched to make new outfits without having to buy new pieces every time.

The Purpose of a Capsule Wardrobe

Especially in this day and age, there are more options to choose from that can be overwhelming and lead to impulsive habits. The purpose of a capsule wardrobe is to get rid of that overwhelming feeling. It does this by simplifying certain pieces that are already in your wardrobe that you can continuously use and make new outfits out of. This keeps you from impulse buying new clothes that you don’t need or are going to ever wear. Now let’s get into what a capsule wardrobe entails.

The Classics

For any capsule wardrobe, having your classic pieces is a great place to start. Your classic pieces can be anything from jeans, a scarf, or your favorite black tank top. These are the pieces that you can use over and over again to make new and exciting outfits. 

Example Classic Pieces

Your black tank top can be paired with a flowy skirt or it can go over one of your dresses. That grey scarf you have? You can use it as a shole, or you can tie it around your waist with your shorts or skirt. The possibilities are endless. 

Color me, Happy

Springtime screams pastel colors. Neutral and pastel colors are perfect pieces to have in your spring capsule. They are sure to go with just about every outfit and the occasion you can think of. If you have a favorite color that you like to wear regularly, add it to the mix too.
