How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe, According to Fashion Girls

How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe, According to Fashion Girls

From Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, see how these stylish celebrities curate a cohesive wardrobe.

With much of society either stuck at home or slowly re-entering the workplace, fashion has seen a distinct shift to simpler styles. Coming along with that change has been the rise of capsule dressing. Simply put, capsule dressing is constructing a distinct style through key-pieces that are long-lasting, cohesive, and practical.

The mini-wardrobe capsule is not only wholly practical but ethically sustainable. Through a simplified closet, the wearer is investing in key pieces while abandoning the habit of buying trends that will quickly fade out of style. Though trends are fun to sport, the majority of landfills are filled with textile waste from wearers quickly discarding last season's pieces. A seasonless capsule wardrobe will certainly help ease fashion's rapid turnover rate.

A capsule wardrobe simplifies the process of getting dressed, too. Similar to putting on a uniform, constructing a wardrobe of cohesive garments will make picking out an outfit easier than ever. Since the wardrobe is expertly curated, choosing a stylish outfit becomes less of a headache than it has historically been.

Both fully functional and increasingly sustainable, a capsule wardrobe eliminates the chaos of getting dressed every morning. With a predetermined set of garments-outerwear, trousers, blouses-both the stress and waste that usually comes along with modern fashion is almost completely eliminated.

Celebrities have been more than willing to adopt capsule wardrobes as of late. Whether it be Rosie-Huntington Whiteley's minimal wardrobe or Adut Akech's colorful knitwear, these stylish celebrities have incorporated a distinct dressing code into their everyday style. Here, see the models and celebrities that have mastered the art of the capsule wardrobe.

Emily Ratajkowski




Emily Ratajkowski's key to capsule dressing includes a variety of angular knitwear, athleisure silhouettes, and subdued colorways. Though the model may opt for a muted pattern from time to time, Ratajkowski's capsule wardrobe focuses on versatile basics with subtle twists that can transition to different occasions.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen




The sister duo behind The Row have a distinct uniform wardrobe that has matured with the twins over the years. Whether it be flowing trousers, oversized leather goods, or layered outerwear, the pair always look effortlessly chic in their minimalist wardrobe.
