Why Should You Build a Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a slim, well-curated selection of clothing that maximises your wardrobe's utility.

What are the benefits of creating a compact capsule wardrobe?

Is this something you've seen before?

In the morning, you're getting ready for college.

You go into your wardrobe and unlock it. It's stuffed with clothing.

Hangers made of wire, wood, and felt were intertwined. Shirts pressed up against coats. Pants are strewn around the room.

You have a lot of outfits out, and they're all terrible.

You put on a tee to try it on.

You don't like it, so you take it off and try on another.

Your clothes are piling up on your bunk, and you're late! Then you put on the most recent outfit you tried on and walk out the door.

You go to the mall after work because you've decided you need fresh clothing. Since you have no idea what you're doing, you purchase whatever your adolescent salesperson says is "cool."

You wake up the next day to the same crammed wardrobe full of clothing you despise. You stuffed the latest things you ordered inside somewhere.

This is why you have clothes you didn't realise you had!

Every season, you go through the same vicious loop.

What causes this to happen?

The paradox of preference is a term used by psychologists to describe this situation (aka analysis paralysis.)

The more choices you have, the more difficult it is for our monkey brains to make a decision.

It's why I irritate my wife by scrolling through Netflix for 20 minutes and then declaring, "There's nothing to watch!"

The majority of men do not search for clothes with a specific purpose in mind.

Consider clothing shopping to be similar to grocery shopping.

Consider driving to the supermarket without a shopping list. When you head down the aisle, you select ingredients that look delicious.

A couple of apples Green juice, fish, hot sauce, fresh pasta, and donuts

Isn't it difficult to prepare a meal?

When most guys go shopping they tend to wear that awesome men’s t-shirt that they were just about to hand over to their girlfriend.

Putting together a capsule closet is similar to walking to the supermarket for a shopping list. You get everything you need to make the ideal Italian meal, for example! Nothing goes to waste and all of the ingredients fit well. Get your awesome men’s t-shirt out and don it like no other!
