Choose a cohesive color scheme for your capsule wardrobe to ensure easy mix-and-match options.


Consider Your Lifestyle: 


Tailor your capsule wardrobe to your lifestyle, whether you have a casual, professional, or active lifestyle.


Seasonal Rotation: 


Rotate seasonal items in and out of your wardrobe as needed to accommodate changing weather.
