Planning an outfit using a capsule wardrobe concept involves creating a versatile and cohesive collection of clothing items that can be mixed and matched.
Hereโs a step-by-step guide to help you:
Define your color palette:
Choose a set of complementary colors that work well together. Harper Nichole & Co brand design focuses on a white to black, monochromatic color scheme to ensure versatility and easy coordination.
Select core items
Start with essential pieces that form the foundation of your wardrobe, such as a basic top, bottoms, and outerwear. Opt for classic, timeless designs that can be styled in various ways.
Choose statement pieces
A core feature of Harper Nichole & Co is the play on texture and utilization of textiles to create dynamic core elements of an outfit. The design element behind mixing together textures is to elevate the overall style of an outfit.
Consider fabric
Pay attention to the fabric of your clothing items. Opt for high-quality materials as this leads to a comfortable, durable, and a suitable fit. The fabric choice of the clothing item is equally important as the sizing, or cut of the item. Fabric choices such as rayon, cotton, linen, leather, and silk are breathable, flexible, and lay flat on the body.
Coordinate and mix outfits
Experiment with different combinations of core and statement pieces. Visualize outfits that can be created by mixing and matching items. Aim for versatility and the ability to create multiple looks from a few key pieces.
Plan for different occasions
In case you have not noticed, versatility is the main theme of a capsule wardrobe. The way you layer, open or close a garment, tuck or untuck an item of clothing on your body all creates a dynamic outfit. This intentionality, but also simplicity, allows for more utilization from one piece of clothing that is used dynamically for all occasions from work, to casual outings, or formal occasions.
Remember, the essence of a capsule wardrobe is to maximize outfit options with a limited number of items. By thoughtfully selecting versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched, youโll be able to create a wide range of stylish ensembles while minimizing clutter and decision fatigue.
