Transitioning your wardrobe has never been easier.
Did we mention? There’s an app for that.
Let’s build your first capsule wardrobe…
Let’s act like you’re a designer curating a collection. What story would you tell?
01 Set Your Style Direction
Ready to discover your style? Let's make it easy and fun!
Name Your Style in Three Words
Step 1 — What's Your Theme?
Think of your wardrobe. Is it filled with modern pieces, or do you have a boho flair? Are you feeling more of a New York City/East Coast vibe or a California Cool beachy feel?
Step 2 — What's Your Dress Code?
Reflect on what you do daily. Are you in office outfits or yoga pants? Basically, are you more "casual-coffee-shop" or "office-chic"? Maybe somewhere in between, like "smart-casual"? The goal here is to identify your everyday look.
Step 3 — What Pieces Make You Go "That's So Me!"?
What clothes make you feel the most you? “Classic” white tees? Soft “Romantic” details? “Minimalist” blacks and whites? Or some “Edgy” leather jackets?
Finding your style isn't about fitting into a box; it's about feeling good in what you wear. Naming what you know helps guide you to where you want to go. So, take a moment, think it through, and develop three words that point you in the right… Style Direction.
02 Choose Your Items
Alright, let's dive in. Look inside your real-life closet!
1. Select Your Essentials
Bottoms First: Grab 3-5 of your favorite pairs. Jeans, skirts, shorts... you name it!
Tops and Layers: Choose 3-5 you absolutely love. Think tees, blouses, jackets, or sweaters.
Step Into Your Shoes: Pick 3-5 pairs you can't live without.
2. Quiz Yourself:
Love Factor: Do you feel great wearing it?
Fit Check: Does it fit just right?
Style Vibes: Is it speaking to you?
Your capsule should be a collection of pieces that make you feel comfortable and confident. So, if it's a "yes" to all three, you've got a winner! If not, maybe it's time to reconsider letting go.
03 Now, Build Your Capsule
Alright, you've got your faves ready. Let’s turn them into a capsule wardrobe!
1. Open the App
Switch It Up: Hit the 'Capsule Switcher' at the top.
Let's Create: Tap on “Create Capsule”.
2. Give It a Name
Personalize: Name it something that resonates. Maybe "Work Capsule" or "Weekend Vibes"” Your call!
3. Add 'Em In
Now, simply add your chosen items to the app.
And voila! You’ve just built your first capsule wardrobe tailored just for you.
04 Edit Any Outliers
Alright, let's polish that digital wardrobe to perfection!
1. Check Formality: Is it Athleisure, Casual, or Professional? Try to keep it consistent.
2. Spot Your Signature Style: Notice what types of items define your signature style. Is it becoming clearer what your style is today?
3. Identify Your Color Palette: Do you lean towards bright hues or muted tones? Warmer or cooler? Any love for neutrals?
4. Time to Edit The Odd Ones Out: Any colors that don’t mix, items that aren’t the same formality, or pieces that don’t fit this season's style direction.
Remember, your wardrobe should reflect you and be tailored for the current season. With these tweaks, you can walk out the door in your signature style!
05 Find The Gaps
Okay, your digital wardrobe is shaping up nicely! But let's see if there are any missing pieces.
1. Identify the Gaps
Take a moment to see what might be missing to perfect your collection. Add these to your Shopping List in the app.
2. When Should You Buy?
Here are three good reasons:
Time for a Change: Replace any worn-out or ill-fitting pieces.
Add a New Signature: Introduce a standout item that screams "you."
Basic Essentials: Make sure you have foundational items in your capsule. Think jeans, a tee, a flat, etc…
A Little Tip: Try limiting yourself to six new pieces each season. This way, you stay fresh without overcrowding your wardrobe.
Remember, it's all about quality, not quantity.
06 Create Go-To Outfits
Now that you’ve created your first capsule. Let's make sure you've always got an outfit ready!
1. Dive into Daily Outfit Suggestions
Using the app, check out our outfit ideas for you. And hey, don’t forget to keep track of what you wear.
2. Got a Fav Look?
For instance, maybe you rocked that blazer paired with a cool graphic tee, wide-leg jeans, and white sneakers.
Save that Outfit: If you felt great in it, save it in your Favorites.
3. Have Your Ready-to-Go Outfits
Aim to save 8-10 outfits that make you feel like yourself. Add these to your Favorites List in the app.
With your go-to looks at your fingertips, you'll never have the "I have nothing to wear" moment again.
