1. What is a capsule wardrobe?  –Putting an end to the chaotic clothing philosophy.

The core of a Capsule Wardrobe is to build a versatile system with 15 to 30 high-quality single items. These single items need to meet the three major principles of "cross-scene, easy to match, and durable". For example, a silk shirt can stand out from a commuting suit and can also be paired with jeans on weekends, achieving "wearing one piece of clothing in multiple ways".

2. Five essential steps to create a capsule wardrobe

        ⭐KonMari method: Perform a "subtraction operation" on the wardrobe.

         ◦ Exclusion criteria: Items that have not been worn in the last 6 months, are obviously damaged, or have an inappropriate style (such as T-shirts with              fast-fashion prints).

         ◦ Retention principle: Classic style: little black dress, straight-leg jeans
                                            Widely used: white silk camisole top (can be worn as a base or alone)
                                            Discard Examples: fluorescent sweatshirts, old-fashioned ruffled skirts

        ⭐Set the basic color palette: Make sure your outfit is perfect

         ◦ Basic color palette: black, white, gray + earth tones (camel, khaki) as 80% base, complemented by 1-2 decorative colors (such as wine red, dark                green).

         ◦ Recommendations for silk items:

        ⭐Essential Basic Items List: From "Necessities" to "Quality"

        ⭐Use silk items to enhance the texture: the balance between luxury and functionality

            Silk clothing plays the role of the “finishing touch” in the capsule wardrobe:

         ◦ Commuter scene: A quality silk shirt with suit trousers is of higher quality than a cotton shirt and lasts 3 to 5 years longer
         ◦ Leisure moments: Wear a cardigan under a silk slip dress, which is soft to the touch and sweat-free, suitable for dates or cafes (The matching of silk slip dresses)
         ◦ Care instructions: Silk items should be hand washed or with special detergents. Click here for silk care instructions.

        ⭐Seasonal adjustment: the flexible rule of less is more

         ◦ Spring: Swap your wool coat for a silk trench coat and wear a silk shirt underneath
         ◦ Winter: Wear a cashmere cardigan over a silk shirt to stay warm and create a layered look.

3. The ultimate value of a capsule wardrobe: more than just savings

         ◦ Time cost: The time you need to get dressed in the morning is reduced from 30 minutes to 5 minutes, so that the "difficulty in making decisions" is over.
         ◦ Environmental concept: Reduce non-essential purchases by 60% each year. Natural materials like silk are more sustainable.
         ◦ Style consolidation: By simplifying basic items, gradually form a personal dressing label, such as"minimalist silk lover" or "vintage silk scarf player".
