The Ultimate Capsule Wardrobe For Mature Plus-Sized Women

Capsule wardrobes are all the rage, but how do you successfully build one to fit your curvy body and mature style? 

Your basic capsule wardrobe contains about 30-40 items that coordinate to build different outfits with less effort. Each item in a capsule wardrobe pairs with every other piece in the collection, including shoes and accessories.

Now that we know what a capsule wardrobe is: Let’s learn how to create one based on our preferences. There are several things to remember when planning your plus-size capsule wardrobe. 

  • First, choose your signature color. While most of your wardrobe will contain neutrals, you should also have a great color that pops. 

  • Second, think of what you are most comfortable wearing. I would spend every day in yoga pants and a t-shirt, but sometimes I need to look presentable to the general population. So, I also consider comfort when purchasing dressier items such as dresses and blazers.

  • Third, take your personality into account. What do you want to be known for? Do you have an undying love of plaid or a deep disgust for Crocs? Let your personality shine through in your choices.
