I want highly quality cashmere pieces that aren’t itchy and will last a long time. Any timeless brand suggestions?

Hello! I am building a capsule wardrobe with materials that are multi-functional. My ultimate goal is to bike commute to work and based off some research, merino wool will make that relatively simple as it's breathable and reduces odor. So it fulfills my goal of simplifying my wardrobe substantially as this will be easy to winterize too and it will allow me to commute to work via bike without needing wardrobe changes.

I found Unbound Merino and their tops look nice and I've seen some solid reviews here on Reddit and online. They do have pants, but they are out of stock in my size for the color black and I can't seem to find any dress pants that would fit this bill. All of these other casual pants look like athletic wear or athleisure and that's not very professional for an office setting.

I prefer a straight leg pant, but at this point I'm just desperate to find anything at this point so any recommendation would be helpful.

I'm a Cabin Hostess. My rotations are 15 days on a row on the road mostly Canada/US/Carribean but I never know where I'll end up, since I can get last minute changes. We stay sometimes in very nice hotels and if we get lucky even resorts. I try to pack not too much but enough to not run out of clothes after 3-4days. I'm sometimes able to do laundry but I'd like to limit it to only once in 15days. Especially winter is challenging since I might end up somewhere under 0C/32F and next day somewhere over 28C/82F. I'll like to have 2 capsule wardrobes. One for summer one for winter. When I get home I just wanna wash it and pack it back in my luggage.

Important would be the following:

• as little as possible but as much as necessary
• lightweight
• we're often staying in nice hotels and if we get lucky once in a while resorts. The wardrobe should fit to it so elegant/chic-casual
• yet it needs to be comfortable (no heels) I'm spending all day in uniform and heels and need something cozy yet stylish
• I'd need to be able to combine something for the following situations: nice dinner, stroll around, workout, pool,resort
• shoe wise I know what I want to take with me amount wise but not style wise ( winter: lightweight boots, workout shoes, sandals which work as well for the pool/summer: workout shoes/ sandals which work as well for the pool)
• everything+ uniform items and toiletries need to fit in a 24-27in spinner (check in size)

Anyone have some good ideas/inspirations? I'm not good at dressing well and could use the help

I bought only 2 pieces of clothe this year and one last year. I find myself very picky

My non negotiable s

If it’s flattering and if it’s worth the price per time I will wear it. How about your requirements?

About 6 months ago out of what I thought was nowhere, I thought to myself "You know, I really don't like black." and I put away a pile of black clothing into storage. And then I realized before I started curating my wardrobe I rarely if ever bought black items, and that it all started when I began capsuling. So I've been shooting myself in the foot with a color I am not so thrilled about for almost a decade.

But everything in me is screaming that I can't get rid of the box of black things. It is a staple. It is good to have. It is my "best color" according to other people. It is something you need just in case. It isn't hurting anything to sit in storage (except my mental health clearly).

But idk, I've never felt especially good or happy to wear black. So why can't I just do the thing and get rid of the black clothing? I'm so exhausted.

For anyone curious about quince, I have returned items twice and they have both been terrible experiences. If there are two items in the package they we’ll only count one. They will accept the truth but not remit the refund.

I don’t know what’s going on over there but it is a terrible experience to return. Be warned.

I just found this sub reddit so please bear with me and let me know if I've gotten anything wrong about posting.

This is my first time attempting a capsule wardobe and I'm stuck. I have identified a set of colors that I like (see image), but I can't figure out how to assign them to clothing categories (tops, pants, etc) in a way where the number of items overall would stay on the small side while still incorporating all of the variations I like.

Ideally, I could narrow each clothing category to a single color that complements the colors associated with all the other categories (e.g., all my pants are black while all my tops are beige), but I think I want to experiment with color and like a little variety too much to do this. Still, I like simplicity, outfit formulas, and cohesion so I don't have to think too much day to day and everything goes together. But I also need some contrast in value/hue/chroma between tops and bottoms; I can't pull off one color head to toe well. I already own a dark brown bag and black shoes (as indicated in image) that I plan on keeping.

I was thinking I'd stick to darker colors for pants and lighter colors for tops overall, except I like how lighter pants look, especially for spring/summer, and already have some darker colored tops I'd like to keep. So it seems like I need to have both dark and light colored pants/bottoms (although not in every color shown).

One thing I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate is having pieces that because of their color only go with one or a few other pieces, that have to be worn together each time and do not play well with everything else. I already feel like some of the color combinations that are possible in the image below would not be considered current, but I'm not sure if there is anything I can do about that if I want to keep all the colors shown. Are there maybe certain colors I should only own one item in (or like a scarf or something) because they aren't as versatile (I'm looking at yellow and pink)?

What is the optimal way for me to think about assigning colors to categories given these considerations? Are there certain colors for bags and shoes that would go with all (or most of) the other colors without looking too heavy or matchy matchy? Is jewelry the best way to incorporate metallics (I'm not into statement bags or metallics in shoes except for events/evening wear). Are there any bright, cool toned, or other colors you'd recommend as accent colors? And if so, how might I incorporate them? Are there additional colors/variants you'd recommend I consider for other seasons?

Thank you!

Hullo! A new challenge for my capsule wardrobe friends. I am going to be travelling next year in Indonesia (outside of Bali) and looking to put together a good travel capsule. The challenges: want to have the option to dress very modestly, just because it's polite plus I have lots of tattoos I'll want to cover as a general rule unless I am in a place I judge to be 'safe', it's super hot/humid but can get chilly in the mountains, and I like a alt-girl style most of the time!

We're backpacking so I want to get down to a really small and lightweight capsule that can do it all.

The best stuff I've seen so far is on modest activewear collections for big sports brands, but keen for any advice or ideas you have.

I don't want to be all black if I can help it, I do like pastels especially pink but also, travelling so black is good! And easy to shop.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the whole capsule wardrobe scene and been spending my free time starting out by decluttering what I don't use. I've been looking at what I own and realised I have a lot of home clothes.

Prior to this, I've always ever just "demoted" the clothes I stopped wearing outside into house clothes, or like old school tshirts and concert merch I impulse bought years ago. I know everyone is different, especially depending on how much time you spend at home or hobbies or like using pajamas as home clothes (which I really do), but I find myself unhappy (I feel irked and almost depressed and just not good in general) with what I'm wearing at home. I just feel slightly better that I'm reducing their cost per wear (especially the expensive concert merch) but I really dread putting them on and it's like I have to force myself.

I currently have 13 oversized shirts + 6 camis that I wear to sleep, and 6 pants (flannel, joggers, my mom's old scubs) + 6 comfy shorts. I have two pajama sets (tops and bottoms) as well. I don't really intentionally pick an outfit because they're all the same to me but if it's cold I throw over a fluffy robe and socks. The shirts were passed down to me from my father and boyfriend, plus the concert merch and school tshirts, and that's why I've kept them.

My question is, if you spend a lot of time at home, do you invest in home clothes and have a house capsule? And if so, what does it consist of?

Looking for recommendations for nice work pants that fit an Apple-shaped petite body.

I’m 44F, and while not visibly overweight, my waist measurement is usually 2-3 sizes larger than my bust or hips. My bust and hips usually measure a size 8, while my waist is size 12/14. So finding pants is really difficult. If I find something that fits my waist, it’s usually enormous in the hips. Plus I’m petite (5’3”) so most everything is too long anyway.

Here’s my ideal pant:

• straight, wide, or barrel leg
• high waisted
• Pull on/elastic waist, but I like the kind with only elastic in the back because otherwise it looks too much like sweats.
• Office and cold weather appropriate (some wool content would be great, but not required)
• Petite sizes offered, but I can sew so it’s no biggie to take the hem up a few inches if needed.
• Under $70, but willing to pay a little more for a great fit
• Good return/exchange policy because it’s likely I’ll have to try on 20 pairs before finding something that fits.
• NOT Amazon because I have ethical objections, but damn if they don’t have the best return policy…

Any recs?

I have enough clothes for several capsules. I want to try and simplify things by wearing a uniform in varying colors. Ex- same style shirt, pants and hair accessory in a few choices of color. How can I motivate myself to stick with it? I get decision fatigue yet I want to look cute and have a broad sense of fashion

Hey guys! I know this question has been asked before but most posts are from at least a year ago, so I’m looking for the apps that are currently favorites (ios). I’m moving and am doing a major closet thin out/donation haul so I feel like it will be the perfect time to be able to grab pictures of everything I’m keeping. I’d like to be able to organize my clothes into categories/sub-categories, put together outfits, see what items I wear the most/don’t really touch, etc. AI background remover would be a huge plus!! I don’t mind having to pay for it, I just don’t know where to begin. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend StyleBook (they haven’t had an update in a year though), Acloset, and Whering. Thank you love you all <3

Please send men’s capsules for inspiration, I’m in Australia so I’d prefer summer but anything is ok 🫶🤓

I've got thick calves. Losing weight everywhere but calves (and boobs) are not cooperating very well. What are the best pants? Straight legs? most of my pants, even jeans, are baggy around my butt and thighs but tighter on my calves. Please help! (I've given up on the boobs)

Hello! I’m currently working on phasing out my polyester and cheaper made clothing to pieces that will stand the test of time even with daily wear.

I would love all recommendations for pants specifically (I wanted to love the wool pants from Sezane but I fear they are built for giants), shoes, and shirts.

I’m hoping to stay under $200/piece but I can def be flexible.

Hey all! I’d looking for a cotton cardigan (I’m allergic to wool) to add to my collection. I had one for 10 years from Ann Taylor that I lost and can’t find the same one again 😭 Ideally I’m looking for something that… -Hits at the hip. I keep finding ones that are too cropped or too long but I really want one that hits right at the hip so it’ll be more versatile

• won’t pill or collect a ton of lint. Whenever I think I’ve found a great cardigan it ends up deteriorating pretty quickly
• is from a sustainable brand if possible!

Hi all! Loving this sub. I just had bariatric surgery so will be losing weight over the next while. I have a variety of sizes so I’m not worried about that process. I will also get the ol sewing machine out and take things in. I will cull as I go and I’m not buying anything for the foreseeable future either.

I really want to start to plan a capsule. I have my style sorted - I wear a lot of dresses and long floaty kimonos.

Do you do a capsule per season? Or for maybe two seasons? What free app do you use to track it all?
