We have heard a lot about the capsule wardrobe (this is such an ideal set of clothes for all occasions), but suspected that everything is not as simple as it looks like in pictures with puzzles from things. Therefore, we really liked the critical look of the fashionable journalist Natalia Yangcheva, the Journal of the community of Make Your Style.
When I learned about the existence of capsule wardrobes, the idea itself seemed to me unusually inspirational, practically how to combine quantum mechanics with the general theory of relativity. Create a universal system in which everything comes to everything that may be better?5 years ago, I began to assemble the wardrobe on the capsular principle and found underwater stones that the capsule wardrobe did not prevent.
It turned out that it was easy to climb in the capsule, but it's hard to get out of it. When the boots were faced, I had to buy similar boots, because the entire wardrobe demanded that such boots. When the shirt faced, it was necessary to take the same - in the same style and color scheme.
The same was with flowers. The capsule was blue (shades from blue to deep blue), beige (and basic white), burgundy and shades of redhead (from light to brandy and brown), and add another color was not possible. Thus, the number of things grew, the things themselves changed, but the overall feeling grew, that I go in the same thing.
Picking up the first capsule, I thought that the "Country Style" (a mixture of Jockey with a village) - what I need once and forever, but very soon I found that I already want something completely different - and forms, and in color But when I come to the store, I have to buy what comes to all my bootheam-coat-scanties. It would seem that you can take and buy a new capsule, but where to fold it and how to spend on a whole capsule, when suitable for each other, comfortable and practically new things look at me from the cabinet with a dumb ukore?
Here are a few conclusions that I did from this.
1. The capsule should be limited in time
Now I immediately collect the capsule with the feeling that I will wear it for a while, and then a change. I defined for myself as 2-3 seasons. You can change the capsules more often if there is a desire and money, you can less often if you are psychologically not tired of things that wear a longer time, and you have a more restrained capsule, with a focus on basic colors and combinations. Knowing how long I'm going to wear this thing, it is easier to decide on the quality and price. It helps to decide whether it is worth buying something expensive in a capsule if I wear this capsule for two seasons already (I no longer think "But this thing will be worn for years." There will be no other suitable things).
Calculate for several seasons, then the capsule can be formulated gradually.2. The capsule must be limited in space
My first mistake was that I made a capsule too big. Phrases of the type "of 40 things create 160 combinations" sound very tempting, but it may be that you actually need these 160 combinations, things will be faster than you fail.3. In the things of one capsule you will look about the same
You will always dress in one style and a single color scheme (it is unlikely to turn on more than 4 different colors in the capsule). If you want a color and stylistic diversity, you need a few capsules. In my ideal world - two in different colors.
4. Collect the capsule need from a general style direction
Now the fashion industry works on a capsular principle, for each season, collections are created, combined with a stylistically and in colors. There are classic combinations and there are fashionable combinations, and the set of these combinations is very limited. You can detect topical combinations from bloggers and in luckers brands. The same classic Jacket Chanel The day before yesterday was worn with a shirt and tweed skirt, yesterday - with a T-shirt and torn jeans, and today he from fashionable wardrobe returned to the classic"Bag-which is suitable-co-all" exists. Only if it is a bag for one capsule :)5. The versatility of the capsule is limited
The capsule, of course, is universal in the sense that everything comes with each other in it, but to create a capsule that is suitable for the office, parties, a hike in the forest and atomic war will not work. For parties and other events, where you rarely, you do not need a capsule, it is quite possible to do with sets.
