How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe That Will Last a Lifetime

Rosa S. Alexander

Not so long ago, the fashion world was buzzing about the concept of a capsule wardrobe—the kind of compact closet that only held a bare minimum of pieces that all perfectly matched each other with great ease and much time saved in the morning. Perhaps because the economic downturn was ramping up at the same time that a furious decade of fast-fashion shopping was taking its toll on the capacity of our closets, the capsule wardrobe appeared to be the solution to everyone’s fashion woes.

Around that time in 2014, Caroline Rector, a Texan and fashion lover who’d had enough of the chaos, began to whittle down her closet to a mere 37 pieces, documenting the process on her brilliant website called Unfancy. Everyone paid attention to her method.

Handily for us, it means our wardrobes tick the new season boxes, too, and there’s no greater fashion feeling than when something you already love becomes on-trend.

Here are the five themes from the spring couture collections that are likely already in your wardrobe:

Monochrome magic swept the spring-summer 2021 runways and we’re blaming The Queen’s Gambit.

While we may be homebound for the next while, the promise of gorgeous new spring style is certainly perking up our mood.

While you may be counting down the days until you can decorate yourself in bright hues, monochrome is one of the most striking spring trends and you will likely have what you need in your wardrobe already to absolutely nail it.

Dramatic dresses were front and centre on the spring runways and during the digital presentations, from checkerboard-print minis at Dolce & Gabbana that harkened back to
