Capsule Wardrobe
Inspired by Laura de Jong, a capsule wardrobe expert. She writes:
“WHAT IS A CAPSULE WARDROBE?”
A capsule wardrobe is based on the idea of having a limited number of quality garments in your closet. Items that fit you well, are timeless, fit your personality and fit your lifestyle. Fewer items doesn’t mean that you always wear the same outfits. Did you know that you can create approximately 80 outfits with ‘only’ 30 to 37 items?” Excluding underwear and accessories.
The fashion industry creates tremendous waste. The EU plans to counter this by setting new rules to discourage disposable fast fashion by 2030. But we can start this now as informed consumers.
Buy quality items in classic styles to last you many years. It costs more but is an incentive not to gain any weight! When clothes get tight, time to cut back on calories and portions.
Another bonus of quality clothes will be that they will survive a second or even third owner. See Sustainabilty Tip #2.
