What is a Capsule Wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a limited collection of essential clothing items that don’t go out of style quickly. These items can be mixed and matched to create a variety of different outfits, making it easier to get dressed in the morning and pack for trips.
The concept gained popularity in the 1970s with London boutique owner Susie Faux, who believed in investing in quality basics over fleeting trends. Later, Donna Karan’s 1985 “Seven Easy Pieces” collection solidified the concept for the modern woman.
