What’s a Capsule Wardrobe and Why you Should Have One

What’s a Capsule Wardrobe and Why you Should Have One

A capsule wardrobe was a term first coined in the 1940s. It is a wardrobe that contains a few small pieces all of the same color scheme that can easily be mixed and matched to effortlessly create multiple outfits. I love using a capsule wardrobe for all of my basics and then adding pops of color and trends throughout. A capsule wardrobe contains things of good quality and fit that can last years. A few things for a capsule wardrobe could be: 

  • Trousers
  • Black Dress
  • White T-shirt
  • Straight legged Jeans
  • Black Turtle Neck

These are basic items that you can and will wear over and over. These may not necessarily be trendy or particularly your style, but once incorporated anyone can wear these! A capsule wardrobe may also include items that are more similar to your particular fashion taste and style! Some of these items might include like:

  • Snake skin boots
  • Cowboy boots
  • Corduroy pants or a skirt
  • High Top Tennis Shoes
  • A bedazzled bag

Again these items might be thought of as more trendy but also still very versatile when paired with different outfits! My biggest tip when starting to create a capsule wardrobe is to try and stick with a color scheme. It doesn’t mean that everything has to be black, white, grey, but if colors are your thing try and stick with all neons or pastels, or maybe more earthy tones are more your style. Just be aware when buying items for your wardrobe buy items you love to wear and are comfortable. Starting to invest in a capsule wardrobe will not only save you time and money, but will also help cut down on waste. Everyone should start one, just one piece at a time.

Swim for the Summer

Swim for the Summer

This year summer might be looking a little different, but that still doesn’t mean hanging out poolside, or lakeside, or beachside isn’t an option. Even if a body of water is not readily available to you, tanning is also another pastime I have not given up during quarantine, just don’t forget the sunscreen! Here’s a list of swimsuits that will look great on all body types whether you like to cover up or let it all out.

This swimsuit is a beautiful color with a lot of little details that really make it stand out from the crowd. My favorite park is the coverage in the chest area as well as how it goes a little further down your torso. This cute suit is a greta way to wear a two piece without showing everything. 

This one piece is a splurge, but the patterns, the cut, the color all make for a great investment suit for someone looking for a cute one piece. This shows a little leg without being overly sexy, but this is definitely not your mothers one piece. 

If high waisted is your thing, these bottoms are a must have. I love the color and little pattern detail. I’m surprised how many high waisted bathing suits I’ve seen that look like a diaper. These are elegant and simplistic without being over the top. Pair these with any top or buy the matching set and hit the beach! 

Trying to be more environmentally friendly? This sustainable swimsuit brand has all of the things you are looking for: cute suits, tons of different prints to choose from, along with the classic silhouettes you have come to love. 

This is the suit for the active girl. I know I have been trying to swim at the beach or jump on a jet ski and having to constantly adjust my usual two piece, which is annoying! This brand is cute, simple, sustainable, and will stay in place whether you are battling waves or just going for a run at the beach.
