How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe on a Budget
What Is a Capsule Wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a small collection of essential, versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create numerous outfits.
### Step 1: Start With Neutral Basics
Invest in white, black, grey, and navy basics — they go with everything.
### Step 2: Add Statement Pieces Sparingly
A couple of colourful or patterned items can elevate any neutral outfit.
### Step 3: Choose Quality Over Quantity
It is better to own 20 high-quality items than 100 cheap ones that wear out quickly.
### Budget Tips
- Shop end-of-season sales
- Look for multi-purpose items
- Care for your clothes to extend their life
