The capsule closet for you: the benefits
If you said yes to one of the thing above, there are some benefits of the capsule wardrobe challenge:
1. When you want to have more spacious environment
If you want to organize a lot of space, then reducing the amount of clothes or keeping only the clothes for a given season on top will give you this space both visually and mentally. The space in the apartment will be consistent with the organization of the closet, and the daily use of the wardrobe will be easy. Visually, the free space will be noticeable.
2. When you want to keep things in order
Capsule wardrobe is easier to handle due to its small volume. That’s because the combinations of clothes are thought out and planned in advance. It also doesn’t generate the clutter that would arise when you randomly go through things looking for a „outfit of the day”.
3. You need a sense of order
There’s place for everything and everything is in place. You know what you have and where to find it. The place is in order, which can give you a sense of self confidence and control.
4. You are looking for the opportunity to save
Capsule closet planning system is good for saving in several ways. First, you focus on using what you already have. Secondly, even if you want or need to buy something, such purchases are very carefully planned and you don’t spend more money than you have in your budget. And, when you buy something, you focus on better quality, so the item will last longer. Last thing, you do not go crazy on sales spending money on clothes that are about to wear out, damage, bore you or go out of style.

5. You can’t buy clothes often
When you can’t buy clothes often due to lack of time, you will appreciate the principle of creating a compact wardrobe: shopping once every 3 months. When it’s about money, apart from the benefits mentioned above, you learn to mix outfits in such a way that people don’t noticed that you do not have too much. You shop less so you spend less money. In addition, purchases are well-thought-out investments, universal and timeless things.
6. You want to make a good use of what you have
Are you the kind of person with so many clothes that there is no time to wear them all? Instead of going to the mall for more, go shopping to your own wardrobe and choose outfits for the season. If you feel bad when limiting yourself, you can increase the number of clothes in capsule or build mini capsules for a week or month. Thanks to this, you can finally enjoy your clothes and show them to the world!
7. You want to feel that everything fits together
It’s a nice feeling when you know that you can take anything out of the wardrobe and it will surely match easily with other elements. It also gives a sense of order and internal consistency.
8. You want to decide what to wear fast
When you are frustrated by the lack of time to think about what to wear or you are tired of clothing dilemmas, capsule wardrobe will ease the process of dressing, and it will be kept to a minimum time spent.
9. You feel that the stores don’t offer a lot for you
When you go the mall ready to do nice shopping and your only goal is not to leave empty-handed and you are more and more disappointed with the things you see, you will also benefit from idea of capsule. First of all, it is not the stores that are supposed to show you something that you will spend money on (push method), but you are looking for a specific item that you planned to buy (pull method, e.g. when you are looking for the perfect t-shirt for the summer). You may still feel that the stores have nothing valuable to offer, but the statement „there is not a decent gray sweater in the stores” is less daunting than the statement „there is NOTHING decent in the stores”. Demagogy, but it improves the mood.
10. You don’t like to shop
Yes, there are such people :), I am in this team – I like shopping itself, but going to the mall is exhausting for me. So having a capsule closet I win! I can shop seldom and while I have all planned it’s easier to shop via the Internet.
And what are your reasons to start a capsule coset challenge?
