Today, I’d like to continue on the subject of minimalism. However, I’ll be focusing on the clothing many of us tend to collect. Wardrobes can quickly become overwhelming, full of items we never wear or that don’t fit. It can be hard to get rid of stuff, though, when you’ve invested your time and money into obtaining them. In addition, our clothes are often a part of our identity. I can assure you that parting with some of your out-of-control clothing stash will make you feel lighter and offers a host of other benefits. Known as a capsule wardrobe, this small collection of clothing items is meant to mix and match with each other in order to make getting dressed easier, faster, and less confusing. Let’s take a look at what you can expect when you minimizing your wardrobe.
Less Stress to Get Dressed
Let’s face it, you’ll definitely feel less stressed out when you have fewer items from which to choose when you’re getting dressed in the morning. The fact that a capsule wardrobe is made up of clothing pieces that are meant to work well together further eases the process. Just grab a few things and go. You know they’ll match. They’re also likely to fit well because you have a smaller inventory to keep track of.
Signature Style
Sure, your new wardrobe will be smaller in size, but that doesn’t mean it won’t have your special touch. You can still choose basics for your aesthetic, along with some key accessories that radiate your unique style. It’s easy to make a wardrobe uniquely yours when it’s minimal because each piece must be chosen with care. In fact, you’re likely to gain a truer sense of your authentic style and learn what works for you when you take time to choose pieces purposefully.
Saves Time and Money
You’ll be out the door in minutes when you can take a quick visual inventory of your closet and grab a couple pieces that suit your mood that day. Saving money has never been easier when it comes to clothes. You’ll have less waste, knowing you’ve put extensive thought into the coordination of your basic wardrobe foundation, plus you’ll need far fewer pieces.
Less Laundry
You’ll also save time and hassle on laundry when you have a smaller wardrobe. Many of the pieces can be mix and match. Therefore, you can wear an item such as black pants more than once in a week. You’ll also save money on dry cleaning if your capsule wardrobe contains fine fabric.
These are just some of the main advantages of having a capsule wardrobe. Minimizing your wardrobe can go a long way toward helping you feel calmer. It can also be fun!

Woman of God on a mission to spread love most of all, kindness and the truth about the Savior. I thank Him daily for saving and keeping me, bringing me into the knowledge of Him and steadily making intercession for me on behalf of the Father. Every lesson that I give goes to me first. I speak not as though I am different but that I am the same as any other follower of Christ, seeking wisdom and understanding from God and depending on Him fully to provide everything that I need in this life.
