Introduction
Tired of staring into a closet full of clothes yet feeling like you have nothing to wear? You’re not alone. The average American woman owns around 30 outfits but considers 70% of her wardrobe unwearable. This is where the beauty of a capsule wardrobe comes in. A capsule wardrobe is a curated collection of essential clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits for any occasion. It simplifies your life, saves you time and money, and promotes sustainability.
