How to Create Your Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Less is more, even when it comes to clothing. At least that's what the increasingly popular trend of embracing capsule wardrobes advocates for. But what exactly is a capsule wardrobe? Simply put, these wardrobes consist of high-quality basic garments that, when combined, allow you to create a wide variety of looks suitable for all occasions.

The philosophy of capsule wardrobes is gaining more followers, not only because it promotes responsible fashion consumption but also because it allows individuals to be more creative when building their looks with versatile pieces. A white top, a pair of sneakers, a pair of jeans... Essential pieces in themselves and ones that cannot be missing from one of these wardrobes.

With the change of season also comes the change of wardrobe. But what if, instead of facing a new puzzle with clothes for this new season, you opted for a spring capsule wardrobe? Lightweight and breathable fabrics, cheerful and neutral colors... These are just some of the tips we'll give you below.

Assess Your Needs and Personal Style

To create a spring capsule wardrobe, one of the first things to consider is what your personal style is and what garments you use the most: jeans, tailored pants, T-shirts, shirts...

Once you have a clear idea of what they are, it's best to look for them in neutral colors like black, gray, beige, or white. These tones will allow you to create more outfit combinations, for example, a pair of white jeans.

And if you're a big fan of color, the best thing to do is to incorporate it into accessories or in a standout piece, such as a jacket that adds a touch of personality to any outfit.

Take Inventory of Clothing

If you don't know what you have in your wardrobe, you can't do anything. So, before considering creating your own spring capsule wardrobe, what you should do is a thorough cleaning of your wardrobe.

Take out all the clothes from the drawers and go through each piece, shoe, and accessory. This is the most critical moment, as you'll have to categorize them. We suggest a trick, if you haven't worn something in the last three months (if the clothing corresponds to the season), it's better to get rid of it or donate it, as you probably won't wear it anymore. But, for example, if you find a white cardigan, this can become an essential piece of your capsule wardrobe.

Select Key Pieces for Spring

Finding key pieces for your capsule wardrobe can be difficult, and you'll need some time to think about it. However, it's not impossible. It's best to think about which pieces you've used the most in previous years at the same time to get an idea.

When you're clear, as we've already mentioned, the best thing you can do is look for these same high-quality pieces in neutral colors that allow you to create multiple combinations with each of them. This way, you'll invest in better pieces that will last much longer and save space in your wardrobe.

Additionally, if you think your capsule wardrobe has too few pieces (the norm is around 33 pieces), you can always seek inspiration in places like Instagram or Pinterest. There you'll find plenty of stylish combinations that will help you choose.

Complement with Versatile Accessories

Accessories also have their place in the spring capsule wardrobe. For us, here are some of the essentials:

- Dress shoes: Whether they're heeled sandals or stilettos, they're essential for any look that requires a bit more formality.

- Ballet flats: Ideal for everyday wear, especially when you want something that gives a greater sense of formality but without abandoning casual style.

- Sneakers: While they weren't before, sneakers are now essential in any wardrobe, and you can never go wrong with a white pair.

- Large handbags: Whether it's a tote bag, shopper, or any variant, these bags are one of the most versatile accessories you can include in your capsule wardrobe. For spring, beige or white tones are ideal.
