What is a men’s capsule wardrobe?
A men’s capsule wardrobe is a small collection of essential pieces designed to be able to mix and match to create several timeless looks. Putting together a capsule wardrobe helps you reduce outfit decision-fatigue and makes it easy to look stylish while feeling confident that the pieces you’re choosing won’t be going out of style.
What are some common articles of clothing you’d find in a men’s capsule wardrobe?
Capsule wardrobes are all about simplicity, versatility, and longevity, while looking your best. To build the perfect men’s capsule wardrobe, make sure that you have some essential tees in white, black, and a few of your favorite colors. Include some classic button-downs and solid sweaters. For bottoms, be sure you have a great-fitting pair of jeans and some casual chinos, and to round out your capsule wardrobe, choose a casual jacket that can accommodate more casual or more professional outfits depending on what else you’re wearing, or two jackets - one dressy and one casual.
How many pieces should you include in a capsule wardrobe for men?
The number of pieces you include in a men’s capsule wardrobe is up to you and your budget, space, and preference for how many choices you’d like to have. Generally, 25-50 pieces is average, but excluding accessories, you could pare this down even further. Finding a balance of enough choices without having too many will vary from person to person.
