The average American woman owns around 30 outfits but only wears about 20% of them regularly.

A capsule wardrobe simplifies your life, saves you time and money, and promotes sustainability. This ultimate guide will walk you through building a capsule wardrobe for every season, ensuring you’re always dressed to impress without the overwhelm.
