10-Piece Capsule Wardrobe for a Month of Fall

Nov 15 10-Piece Capsule Wardrobe for a Month of Fall

Rotate Your Closet

I built a mini capsule wardrobe with 10 core items for a month of fall. Every day, depending on the weather and my mood I would then choose the accessories and shoes to complete the look. I took this styling challenge, because I know I have a tendency to purchase more than I need when the weather gets cold and the holiday sales kick in. By the way, please know that this is just part of my closet: I'm rotating what I have. This mini capsule is about 1/5 of my current full wardrobe, not including underwear/socks.

I'm not an extreme minimalist, nor do I inspire to be one, but I try to only keep things I actually use. Two years ago, I built a summer capsule wardrobe for a month with 12 clothing items. Ever since then, I have been rotating my closet this way as a solution to slow down my consumption. It really helps me to get dressed quickly in the morning with a monthly or seasonly-based capsule wardrobe.

Plus, every mini capsule wardrobe like this is so packable for any week-long trip!

Set a Limit for Your Capsule Wardrobe

The exact number doesn't matter, as long as you can set a limit that works for you. For me I chose 10.

My 10 Items for Fall

1 Dress/Tunic:
Amour Vert Circles Tunic

2 Bottoms:
Everlane Jeans Ankle Length in Washed Black
Levi's Corduroy Pants

3 Jackets:
Secondhand Love Token Leopard Jacket

Find Your New Everyday Style

Limitation sparks creativity. With only 10 items, I have to pair and layer things together in ways that I have not tried before.

Below are 10 example looks from this capsule wardrobe:

Shoes & Bags

Shoes, bags and accessories can change up each look, so that you don’t get bored with the capsule wardrobe too fast. The shoes and bags I used with this capsule wardrobe:
