How To Create a Year Round Capsule Wardrobe: Why You Want It To Be BASIC, But Not Boring!

- You have been asking for it, so today I'll show you how to put together a year round capsule wardrobe! In this video, I'll take you step by step through the process of putting together a capsule wardrobe with only 20 items that works for all seasons, creating a true minimalist wardrobe.
What I love about year round capsules, as opposed to doing seasonal ones for Project 333, is that these can work very well for temperate climates. A capsule full of basics can evolve easily with the weather, the season, or your personal style, since most of the pieces are timeless. I hope you enjoy!

ABOUT MY CHANNEL:
Hello there! My name is Fernanda and I started putting together Capsule Wardrobes for Project 333 back in 2015. Since then, I have completely rearranged my closet and now have a minimalist wardrobe, and I dress from a base of 15-piece capsule wardrobes every season that I put together with a simple capsule wardrobe formula. If you're looking to learn how to out together a capsule wardrobe, how to style few pieces for many different occasions, or how to include color and bold prints into your wardrobe, then I'm here to help!

I think this video really helped be with the last piece of getting my wardrobe building right! :) I am going for a versatile wardrobe, though not necessarily a small one. I have trouble combining my clothes in many ways, so a lot of the capsule principles are what I use. However, I don't constrict to a small/specific number - but the structure will be similar to a capsule.
1) I decided to create a document with pictures of my favourite base pieces (here, I used your principles of the 'base' wardrobe), and then I found pictures to 'fill in' the type of wardrobe I wanted.
2) I used a colour 'block' system. I have a blue 'block', a black 'block', a 'nude/brown/'natural' colours 'block' (white, beige, old rose, rusty red; kind of mixed, but everything still goes together in colour), and then I have a mixed 'block' with things that are not necessarily easy to match with the same colour, but they are still pieces that I love. I saw this done in a capsule wardrobe, with just one piece of every category in a colour 'cluster', I just adapted it to a bigger scale.
3) I generally create a capsule of each color; in each of the 'blocks', I can have around 3 of everything; bottoms, 3 cardigans/layers, 3 sweaters, 3 long sleeve tops, 3 t-shirts, 3 sleeveless tops, and 3 dresses. (the idea is to get a light, a dark and a 'bright/middle shade of all item types) I don't nessicarily have everything in all categories, and I might allow myself to add a bit more, if it goes really well with other pieces. But this way, I can create very varied outfits, either by mixing the colours across the blocks (ex. black and blue or white and blue), or by using different shades with the colours.
I will definitely be following this channel in the future. :)
This is a great method! I hadn't heard of the block method before, but I think it's a really solid foundation, especially because it requires you knowing what you really like to wear a lot, and duplicating it. Thank you for sharing!
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
Okijoju
You blew my mind with how you broke it down. It seems so much simpler now. Thank you very much.
🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 You're welcome! I'm happy I could help.
Congratulations on the most practical capsule wardrobe that I have ever seen. Super Adaptable, doesn't require me to buy anything new but work with what I have. ✅✅✅
I love that; I love starting with what we already have! Thank you for watching
I always disagree with the "X items you MUST have"... thank you for mentioning that! I was starting to believe I was alone in that one
What I love about this wardrobe is the way you rotate in a few pieces, but keep most of the items! I get tired of rotating in a WHOLE different wardrobe, keeping only a few items. This will work so much better for me. Thank you! Now, I'm off to rearrange my closet before I report back to work after all of this isolation! Watching your videos during this pandemic has helped me stay sane. Oh, and my favorite was Winter. Cheers!
That’s so great! I’m glad this works better for you. Thanks for watching Debra!!!
This was so inspiring. I love colour and print so often find capsule wardrobes quite bland. Thank you for explaining about basics.
I really loved the format with pictures of the capsules in completion and with the seasonal accents. Really easy to see how it adapts from season to season.
I’m glad it was helpful!!!
Agreed!
love the Fall wardrobe capsule
So glad I found this channel. Thank you.
Striped tops, Corduroy Trousers, cable knit jumpers and pinfore dress are my basic.
Your videos are so thorough and beginner-friendly! I also prefer wearing darker colors in cooler months; it just feels cozier. I would love to see a capsule wardrobe based on skirts and dresses. Thanks again for such a thoughtful tutorial series!
Such a helpfull video! Away from the typical fashion/trendy videos that are tremendly influenced by the season fashion industry. Congrats Fernanda 👏
Great video. Unfortunatelly I live in climate where it's very difficult to have year round capsule as summer can be extremely hot and winter very cold but the whole concept and explanation is great
Same! That’s why I do seasonal ones, and I show my capsule every three months on the channel.
This is still all a huge challenge for me, but you are clearer than others! Thx
You got this! I left you a comment on my other video.
Two basic pieces for me in Spring (my favorite season) is a light pink trousers and a long cardigan in the same color. I pair them with anything! Regarding my climate, it can change a lot, especially during winter and summer, but there is a long period of temperate temperatures so a year round capsule is definitely interesting for me. Thanks for the video again! I'm also impatient to be on Thursday!!
Light pink trousers would definitely be considered a statement piece in my wardrobe!
Fernanda, this was fantastic, thank you! I feel this is similar to how my closet has evolved---instinctively at first, mostly by need, and later carefully planned. My year-round pieces are the traditional neutrals (black, white, navy) and then I add different shades of red, blue, green, beige, and gray as the seasons change. The cherry red and fuchsia pinks of summer get replaced by dusty pink and burgundy pieces in autumn and winter. The beach glass green and the chambray, royal, and French blues of spring get put away as I move teal, navy, emerald, and sapphire in for colder weather. The sterling, dove, driftwood, and mist grays go to charcoal and taupe, and the raffia, raw linen, khaki, and light tan beiges are substituted for rich camel and caramel-like tones. Seeing your core pieces revamped as you brought seasonal ones in and out was very enlightening, thank you.
You're on point with your colors! I'm not quite there yet cause my taste changes all the time - I should take a play from your rulebook to evolve my colors with the seasons.
@@vazq_Fernanda Being eclectic, and allowing for surprise and transformation, is its own style. Do what makes you feel happy and confident! (You are so thoughtful taking the time to reply. Thank you.)
I'd like it better without the olive skirt.
Great info!
I kinda just want this entire wardrobe. That orange dress 😍😍😍
This is so great, Fernanda!! Thank you so much!🌸💕🌱
This was awesome!!!
Great content; working on my capsule wardrobe already! My fav? Autumn!
Love, love, love all of these! And I own quite a few... so many ideas... thank you!
This is a very considered and intelligent analysis of a capsule wardrobe. Really well done Fernanda and Thank You, You've just got a new subscriber and you deserve many more!
As for a basic in my own wardrobe...a year round mid thigh length red coat is a basic I have had in my wardrobe for about 20 years now and it really defines my style and who I am.
Hi Vera! Welcome! Thank you so much for subscribing.
The red coat is a great example. I bet it's great quality - I have never owned something that has lasted more than 5 years looking great. I aim to buy better quality clothes moving forward!
I love this content. Thank you.
So very well presented and a uniquely fresh take on this very popular topic!
This is so helpful! Thanks 🌼
This is very helpful! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Love this video!
This is so great, & truthfully more my style! Thank you for making this video chica🌷🌼🌻
Great!!! I'm so happy it helped!! 🥰
Really helpful
Great tips!
Awesome video!
Really clear and flexible! Thanks!
Thank you Lara!!
Another great video. Loved the summer dress
Thanks Susan!
Loved it! You upped your game on production! I particularly liked the ideas because everything is easy to accesorize depending on the season with jewelry, scarves, hats, etc. Loved the colors too! ;)
I'm so glad you noticed!! Thanks Pau, I was nervous it wouldn't feel the same to show you without the real clothes!
Thanks a lot for this vid, it's really helpful!
When it comes to me, my wardrobe basics that for some may not be that "basic" are: a knitted mustard sweater with a jewel neckline, a purple turtleneck and a long-sleeved button-up white shirt with vertical red stripes
Definitely! The jewel neckline would be a statement piece for me.
You have the BEST ever capsule wardrobe info!!!
🙌🏼 🙌🏼 I just want you to be able to build a capsule that works for you!
I just love how detailed and helpful your videos are! Such great tips and examples
Omg Jasmine thank you!! I watch and love your videos as well 💜💜
Great video Fernanda!! It's such a great idea to have a year round capsule - I always really enjoy your videos! X
Thanks Kathryn! How's your channel coming along?
Thanks for this. You make alot of sense.
I hope this helps you create a capsule that you absolutely love and helps you feel happier and more confident when you get dressed. 🤗
Love your videos!! Thanks for your help getting my wardrobe together. I don’t buy fast fashion anymore since creating a capsule wardrobe and I’m so glad I got out of that trap
Same here! I spend so much less money but like my clothes a lot more!
I like your channel a lot because you use prints and bold colours and are not afraid to combine them, which is not always easy. Keep going on, i will keep learning.
Thanks Nuria! Come back next Thursday, the spring capsule is full of colors!
Loved this video!! You make it seem so easy. My favorite was also Fall...gotta love all those warm colors. But I loved the leather jacket in Spring and that fabulous halter dress in Summer! (Meant to email you...I received the leopard shorts and they are SO cute! Can't wait to wear them. Thanks again!)
You are so welcome! I'm glad you like them!
And for the record - it is easy! If I could figure it out then anybody can. If you see my first capsule wardrobe video 5 years ago I feel like it was all over the place...
I consider belts to be one of my basics because I always wear them to accentuate my figure and tie in the colors of my outfit but like you said, the gold part of a belt for example might be the statement bit in a more monochromatic wardrobe :)
I love the video.
I live in a place with a very steady weather (Brazil), but I like to create a "seasons illusion" change my color palette between summer/spring and autumn/winter, so I have only a few items I use the whole year. But the tips was very useful
This was really helpful and easy to understand. I'm glad having a capsule wardrobe doesn't need to be so neutral or monochromatic. Thanks!!
My pleasure! I would get bored with neutrals only too!
Love it! Working on my first handmade module to make my wardrobe more wearable. :) Just wearing what I have til it wears out, but hoping that by the time I get 12-18 pieces done it will be coming together. :)
Excelente desde Puerto Rico
I'm so excited to try this concept in my wardrobe! I love your channel! I'm a new subscriber. I really appreciate the content! You are so lovely to listen to! Clear, concise and great images really summed up the beauty of a capsule wardrobe.
Wow, what an awesome video, I totally get the capsule thing now, cant wait to start building my own, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Simple, clear videos. Love your style as well!
It's my pleasure! I hope you love what you end up putting together. Check out the Fall Capsule Wardrobe video that just went up today too if you want to see a different way of putting a capsule together!
@@vazq_Fernanda Will do, thanks!
This was so great! 🌸 Very useful👍
So glad! I hope it helps you put together your own!
@@vazq_Fernanda I belive it will🙂
Great explanation on capsules and how to incorporate different pops of color per season! I’ll admit, I love the ideals of minimalism but was having a hard time with the idea of paring my closet down further than I already have (unless something is worn out or not my style anymore lol). Your explanation really helps me see how I can rethink my wardrobe and not have to pair things down because of a color not fitting my overall palette or something like that. Thank you for your hard work! :) By the way, where is that lovely orange dress from? 😊
It's from Vince Camuto, and I just saw that it's on sale! www.vincecamuto.com/vince-camuto-ruffled-shift.html
brightly colored boilersuits are my basic😀 I wear them like others wear dresses
Once again that was a great video ! I'm watching all of them before I start a capsule wardrobe myself :) Thanks a lot
Of course!! I always recommend starting with what you already have!
🤯 this is so incredibly helpful. You’re like a genie with the colors!
I LOVE color! Do you have a color palette for your wardrobe?
@@vazq_Fernanda I do now! The past 1-2 years I began developing a color palette. I had started out trying to do the “minimalist neutrals”, but I realized that I LOVE color and needed to include more basics with color.
My main color palette is based on Sage Green and Salmon (pink/orange), Olive green, Cream, Tan(khaki), Blue, and Taupe. Very earthy, bohemian colors.
I use Navy or Charcoal instead of black. In the winter I add pops of Cranberry and wear a lot of Navy blue, Tan.
Right now I’m wearing Sage Green & Cream. I’m almost always wearing Sage Green or Olive Green with an accompanying Cream or khaki, with a pop of peach or salmon. Very desert-sunset-like, Safari colors.
@@christiana_mandalynn It sounds like you may be an Autumn! So you know your color season?
@@vazq_Fernanda I’m either a soft Autumn or Soft Summer. In Dressing Your Truth profiling, I am a Type Two with a Secondary Type 3.
Love your hair!
Why thank you! I grow it myself 😉🤣
@@vazq_Fernanda 😅
Very nicely put Fernanda ❤️ My basics involve puff sleeve jersey crepe tshirts which would be considered statement for many...
Indeed! I would consider those more of a statement in my wardrobe! Great example!
Would jumpsuits and overalls be in the six tops category or the five bottoms category?
Why are dresses in the top category and not the bottom category?
Love the 65432 capsule idea
Jumpsuits go in the tops/ dresses category, and overalls in the bottoms.
My logic is this: you can wear dresses and jumpsuits without a bottom, but you can’t wear a bottom without a top. Because of this, dresses/ jumpsuits make more sense in the larger category. It keeps the capsule more flexible in terms of how many outfits you can put together. I hope that makes sense!
thank you for everything you teach us!!! You are such an inspiration!!
By now, I am in the learning process... and I have proposed my self to not buying anything for a year! I have a closet plenty of clothes!
So for now, what I'm trying to do is build a basic capsule for each season with your 15-piece formula and add another 15 each pear month with more trendy and colorful pieces. And pack away of the wardrobe the rest of the clothes.
Will see how it works…
By the way, I discovered OpenWardrobe because of you and i’m in the digitalizing process!!
This is awesome! I'm so glad I can help!
One suggestion I would make is this: Start paying attention to WHAT you like about the things that you wear and what you DONT like about the things that you don't. This is tricky at first but it really helps you get very clear on what you don't like and it makes it easier to not buy something out of sheer impulse later. Good luck!
@@vazq_Fernanda thank you!!! 💕
Hi Fernanda. I agree with you, Autumn is my favourite season also. I am a Spring so I need to be careful with the bolder colours. I'm not sure what my basic or staple piece is. Great tips and great video.
Hi Sherry - I did some research - the seasonal colors is something that I'm still a little lost with, but if you're a spring, doesn't that mean that you're warm toned? In that case, bold colors should look good on you as long as they are yellow-based. I go more by undertones, but bold oranges, reds, and yellow-greens should work for your skin tone as well - at least that is how I understand it!
Hi Fernanda. Thanks for replying. I wish, however, bold colours such as mustard yellow, bright rusty oranges and khaki olive greens make me look ill. Although they are warm based colours they are too much for my colouring. Believe me - I've been practising over the years but still no. Instead of bold I need to go bright. However, I do love the autumn colours and the season.
Interesting... I need to do more research into that. I feel like mustard yellows also make me look odd, but I don't have the same problem with the oranges. I need to learn more about this so I can be more helpful.
Hi Fernanda. Thanks for replying. There are so many great videos about colour analysis. I feel that Jen Thoden explains everything so well.
My all year basic - but statement for others - pieces would be too big, black printed t-shirts (preferably with band names/logos/photos). And maybe kilts also. And for spring, summer and early autumn (I'm highly afraid of getting them dirty in mud or snow in autumn & winter), my kind of basics/statements are maxi skirts (basics if solid color, statements if they have some kind of pattern).
I love the autumn too, this orange dress is so stunning 😍.
Sounds like you've nailed your personal style!!
I get stuff dirty all the time. I'm a master stain remover at this point ;) I never want to be afraid to wear the clothes that I like anymore, that's what they are for!
Greetings from Mexico City!
Hola!! Bienvenida!!
My lilac big bud work pants are a basic for me but would be a statement for a lot of other people.
A sweater dress that my friend's mom found for me at GoodWill one day last winter.
Oooh that sounds like a good find!
In terms of basics all year round, would be tshirts, jeans, leather jacket, cardigan, shirts (cotton and silk). Struggling atm with finding suitable skirts and shorts
Hello! I dont get how sleeveless is for the whole year.
💖
I hate those 10 items list that is all black or beige. Thank you for clearing up the idea of basic. What is basic for me is black pants and leopard inspired blouses. This makes me happy. If I want to change it up I throw on a pink, rust, or black blazer. I wear this all the time. But after watching so many capsules video, I got discouraged. I want to be intentional in my dressing, but I cant not wear beige, white, and black all week. I tried to do this and wasted money. I have a draw filled with black tees that I don't wear ever. I like black tops with interesting details like a lace neckline or an asymmetrical neckline. I think I am ready to pack those black tees away and embrace fully my basic statements. I also thought I liked dresses, but I only really like one, that I wear twice a week with a colorful kimono. I like to wear color close to my face and this lockdown has made me come to terms with my style. I like your approach and is really helping me hone in. I think we can be convinced to like something or to feel that we like something because 100's fo TH-camrs are presenting it as minimalism. But you are enlightening me.

You need to start a channel to style men using your smart, common sense principles. Great content.
Awww thank you! I love this comment!
I rarely ever have anything on most of the "essential" lists.
I’ve been looking for a shirt like yours where did you get?
I got it from a wardrobe stylist I worked with years ago, but the brand is BP. I believe Nordstrom carries it.
I’m going to try to wear the necklaces I never wear as my new statement pieces....
Where oh where can I find a chambray dress like the one you have?
Mine is from Old Navy, they still have a few sizes available! oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=570773012&vid=1#pdp-page-content
How do you make that kind of image featuring all the pieces? It would help a ton to see all my pieces at a glance like that so I really want to make something similar 😊 Loved the video! ✨
I used Canva to create it, but honestly I use Pinterest for that! Check the Pinterest blog linked in the description box so you can get an idea of where I started, and also my Pinterest Capsule wardrobe video might help!
🖐🏼🙂

Love this!! Haha
where is the video about lifestyle and fashion style?
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/NavPnjt2Fa4/w-d-xo.html See you in the comments over there! 🥰
