Benefits of a capsule wardrobe

  1. Owning only clothing you love and fits well will allow you to love what you do have even more.
  2. With less options, you will spend less time getting dressed.
  3.  You will become more resourceful and creative, pairing up items that you might not have before.
  4. Packing for a trip becomes a lot easier because you’re not weeding through clothing or shoes you don’t like.
  5. Redefining your personal style will make you feel more polished and confident.
