Capsule Wardrobe

As the summers are already here, what is on top of your mind are those lovely destinations you want to escape into. Be it the beaches, the resorts or the family adventures to those mystical places of the world, or simply haul with your friends. What you'd definitely want to do is look your best every time. This season, we will help you how to create wonderful looks by shopping smart and minimal !

To make your season experiences the best, one thing to keep in mind is that your wardrobe can be comprising of all the rage using the 16 piece trick, according to seasons.

So, what's the 16 piece trick ?

Also known as the 16 piece Capsule wardrobe, this trick helps you get your season's favourites into the wardrobe with sanity. Incorporating the 16 pieces in multiple outfits for various activities as you spend the season, and not shopping for anything else, is the key. Also drawing in the basics, classics and the essentials becomes a part of it.

The capsule should consist of Tops, Bottoms, Dresses, outerwear and shoes (the 16 pieces are excluding lingerie, purses and jewellery). Remember to keep those outfits out of your list that can be worn only one way. This is so, because after 1 or 2 wears you would not feel the excitement of wearing it, and they soon reach your wardrobe archives. So we believe more in the fashion-must haves that are wearable, functional and can be worn in a number of ways.

Here's an inspirational 16 piece capsule wardrobe we drew in for the spring summer:

The above capsule wardrobe consists of 6 tops, 3 dresses, 3 bottoms and 2 outer wear.

  1. Tops (From left to right) - Floral net blouse, tunic, sweat shirt, crop top, classic denim button down, summer basic stripes.
  2. Dresses (From left to right) - Bohemian print short dress, neutral maxi dress, Plaids shirt dress
  3. Bottoms (From left to right) - Flared pants, A-line skirt, boyfriend ripped denims
  4. Outerwear - Grey cape, summer jacket
  5. Shoes - Summer heels, golden flats
You can incorporate these pieces in your summer wardrobe and experiment with various looks. To help you with it, here are two outfit inspirations (edgy and minimal) with the same A-line skirt:

Tip: Go ahead with the shopping according to seasons which occur. We consider 4 seasons in a year and split it up as: Winter (December-February), Spring/Summer & Pre-monsoon (March-May), Monsoon (June-mid September, Autumn (Mid september-November). You can also split the year into 3 seasons (summer, winter, monsoon) and do a 32 piece capsule wardrobe.
