A capsule wardrobe consists of a relatively limited collection of clothes that work great when combined, and can be worn on all occasions. This type of wardrobe must be made considering the quality, not the quantity, and identifying the one that is right for you. Many people have huge and unorganized wardrobes, full of uncoordinated clothes bought over the years, many of which they don't even like anymore. The point of creating a capsule wardrobe is to keep only the items of clothing you adore and value you. In theory, each top piece should go well with each bottom piece.
