I’ve previously noticed which colours I tend to wear a lot,
these are: Navy, Pink, Purple, all shades of blues and some coral in my summer
pieces. Then I did a seasonal colour analysis and found out I’m a deep winter
(dark hair, bright blue eyes, pale complexion).
These are the colours I can wear according to that analysis:
Actually I was already wearing most of these colours. I was
ecstatic that I had over the years automatically already gravitated towards the
colours that work best for me.
Next I decided to have a look at what a capsule would look like
for me specifically, using items I already owned or liked. I decided to do a
work capsule first. These colours would be more muted and formal and I choose
navy, black and grey as my base. I used 13 clothing items and 9 accessorizes
(including shoes). I used 4 bottom pieces (only 1 skirt since I’m not a skirt
kinda girl), 6 tops, 2 cardigans and a blazer. Everything works with everything
else in this capsule.
Next I thought about a casual capsule. For me, I love pops
of colour and would need some colour to alleviate the darker, formal tones of
work. I tried however to re-use pieces from my work wardrobe so as to minimise
the number of items I would need in total (all except the black, I don’t like
wearing black in my free-time). For colours I choose hot pink, coral and navy.
I kept the same basic number and grouping as the work capsule. I swooped out
only 5 clothing items and 6 accessories. I also included some bold prints.
There
is some overlap but the general feeling of the capsules is quite different. Unlike
the work capsule I feel like not everything goes here (I would not for ie wear
the pink pants with the pink top!) but most of it is interchangeable still. I
counted the total number and came out at 33 items. This is do-able for a
minimalist wardrobe.
