Capsule Wardrobe for Women Over 60

If you’ve never heard the term ‘capsule wardrobe,’ you’ll find this article very educational. A capsule wardrobe is a set number of items in your wardrobe that you can mix and match to make multiple outfits. Basically, you’ll need fewer core pieces, but you’ll end up with more outfit options. This really isn’t too far outside of the norm for most people because we tend to alternate between a few of our favorite pieces already. 

This is also a great clothing approach if you aren’t a big fan of shopping because you’ll need to find and purchase fewer pieces. In our busy daily schedule, it is nice to be able to jump into your closet and easily find an option. A capsule wardrobe can help you achieve this. 

The key to a good capsule wardrobe is to select pieces that can be worn in multiple ways. Electing to stock your closet with core pieces that are black or navy helps when creating your outfits because they work well with most colors. We put together a few ideas for each section that we believe will help you build your ideal capsule wardrobe.
