The Ultimate Capsule Wardrobe Items You Need for Winter 2023
Capsule wardrobes are all the rage, but how do you successfully build one to fit your curvy body for winter 2023?
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.
