A capsule wardrobe for men
Short answer: Thirty garments in three colours cover a whole year. Everything matches everything, and mornings take two minutes instead of ten.
What a capsule wardrobe is
A small number of garments chosen so they combine freely. The point is not to own little, but that every garment can be worn with all the others. The colour choice is what makes it possible.
How the thirty break down
Twelve sets of underwear, twelve pairs of socks, five tops, three bottoms, two sets of nightwear and one outer layer. That covers a week between two washes all year. See bamboo clothing for men.
The colours hold it together
Two dark neutrals and one light neutral. Within that frame, everything you buy goes with what you already have. See bamboo underwear for men and bamboo t-shirts for men.
Frequently asked questions
Does it not get monotonous
Variation comes from fabric, cut and layers rather than from colour. Most people experience it as a relief.
What about the seasons
The base stays all year. Only the outer layer and the fabric weight change.
How do you start
Sort out what you have not worn in a year and see what is left. Build from there.
