Continuing the success of our image coaching company and sister site style2you we want to provide our clients with more ongoing information on what constitutes a successful capsule wardrobe and how it can save them valuable time and money in the future. We also continue to work with them on their 'journey' to having that amazing wardrobe full of suitable clothing and accessories that they'll wear 100% of the time!  It won't happen overnight, but over a series of sessions: an initial style and wardrobe review session, followed by a few personal shopping trips and follow up outfit building sessions, they will have over 50 outfits that make them 'glow with confidence'.

Style is all about about learning how to look your best everyday, making the most of your natural attributes (mine happen to be a UK size 12/14), and balancing you with your clothes.

 

First, you have to ask yourself a few questions:

• Does your current wardrobe fit your lifestyle?
• What percentage of time do you spend working, at home, socialising, childcare, sport/hobbies?
• What percentage of the clothes in your wardrobes/drawers are: businesswear, formal, smart casual, sportswear and scruffs?

 

Ideally the proportions should marry up, but most people find that there's a shortfall in atleast one section. This exercise forms the basis of compiling a functional capsule wardrobe. There will be items you can use towards your capsule, but after weeding your wardrobe of non-essential garments and accessories, you will have more of an idea of the areas needing attention and what gaps need filling.

• What sorts of clothes do you feel most comfortable in?
• What would you like your clothes/image to say about you? (honestly!)
• How much have you been spending on everyday items?
• Where have you been shopping up til now?

The illustration above is an example of what we use with our clients so they can visualise the 15 pieces that can be mixed & matched to produce 50 outfits.  We have created a members log-in area where style2you and mycapsulewardrobe clients have access to real life capsule items currently available in the High Street - these are to be used in conjunction with your individual colour direction (winter, summer, autumn or spring).
