Capsule wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe is a small, curated collection of versatile, coordinating pieces that mix and match into many outfits. By focusing on a limited palette of well-chosen staples, it cuts decision fatigue and ensures everything you own works together.

The idea is quality and cohesion over quantity: a few dozen interchangeable pieces in a tight colour palette can generate far more outfits than a closet full of mismatched items. Each piece earns its place by pairing with several others.

Sticking to a coherent palette — and the third-piece rule for finishing looks — is what makes a capsule feel complete rather than sparse.
