While some people manage to limit themselves, others have great difficulty and blow their budget. Sometimes to get a beautiful piece that they have wanted for a long time, but often to buy clothes that they don’t necessarily need and above all, that they will only wear once or twice (don’t worry, this gives us also arrived). However, not making a profit from the pieces purchased is a shame: they take up space in your wardrobe and they cost you money.

On Tiktok, many Internet users are looking for or explaining how to create a “capsule” dressing room, to make sure they have beautiful basics that they can wear with everything. Creating this “capsule” clothing set can help you consume less clothing. Clothing rental, sorting… Discover our other tips to save your wallet (and the environment).

Create a sustainable capsule collection

The principle of a capsule collection? Opt for wardrobe basics, timeless, well-cut items. For what ? Because these pieces are timeless, and who says timeless, says they will last over time. We often choose neutral clothes so that they serve as a basis for all looks. So, it is easier to adopt a new trend like red for example, or even leopard print. A very trendy accessory will go perfectly with a timeless look, it will even modernize it and give it some pep. To compose your capsule wardrobe, we think in particular of a beautiful white cotton t-shirt, well-tailored straight jeans, a long beige trench coat, a black or cream blazer jacket, black or colored suit pants according to your tastes, a wool sweater… A pair of white sneakers, moccasins or ballet flats and a pair of boots and that’s it.

Try to visualize yourself with the garment before buying it

To avoid consuming too many clothes, one of the tips is to ask yourself the right questions when purchasing. When trying on the garment, ask yourself two main questions. The first, do I really feel good in the clothing? Am I really comfortable, do I feel valued? If the answer is yes, you have to ask yourself what other clothes you can wear it with. If you can fit it into at least three outfits, then it’s a durable piece that you can go for. If you don’t see an occasion to wear it or a piece to wear it with, then the purchase may not pay off.

Do a thorough sorting before your shopping session

Sorting is fundamental to knowing what you already have in your closet: you can sell what you no longer want, and freely go for pieces that you don’t have, or that are too worn to wear. You see more clearly!
