Building Your Capsule Wardrobe: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Define Your Lifestyle and Needs
Before you even open your closet doors, take some time to think about your lifestyle and the clothes you need on a daily basis.
- Occupation: Do you have a corporate job, a creative role, or work from home?
- Social Life: Are you a social butterfly or a homebody? Do you prefer casual outings or dressier events?
- Climate: Do you live in a warm climate, a cold climate, or a place with distinct seasons?
