By far my favorite capsule wardrobe video! 😍

Great advice in this video, I've also been trying to define my style words and I'm currently settled on: comfortable, 70's boho, feminine.

This is realy a brilliant capsual wardrobe video!

This is the best capsule wardrobe video I’ve seen. Most videos tell you you must have a white and black tshirt, jeans, trousers, etc… regardless of all the factors you mention.

Too much vocal fry...arg!

This is AMAZING!!

Thank you! The idea of using the opposites really helped me define my 3 words.

Excellent breakdown and clear examples. We have similar style except I lean more ☀️, especially in spring & summer. Bold colors and patterns, classic silhouette with feminine details

I avoided pink until I got my color analysis. I went to a second hand shop and got a bright winter pink shirt. I was so surprised at how well it looked on me and how many compliments I got. Now I have a few more items in that color.

Finding out the needs is so hard! Even with outfit tracking.

Wow, my three style words are "feminine, edgy, and coordinated" 😂 Clearly we are cut from the same proverbial cloth. Love the fit!

So cute!

This is really interesting. The only thing that doesnt feel quite right to me is how you describe the moon style root. I am definitely drawn to moon styles and not much drawn to sun styles but I really don't want to look tough. Maybe a little bit dangerous, but not tough. Maybe its just because I dislike the strength conveyed by the mountain style root and I love the delicate feeling of the flower style root. I would just describe the feeling I'm trying to go for with moon more as strange or even a bit creepy rather than tough.

Super interesting to hear about your perspective and your journey! Alison does say that some people have two "opposites" within their words (such as masculine and feminine) and for them, it helps to create tension and excitement in their look. Not a criticism, just something to keep in mind that while omitting opposites made it easier for you, some of your viewers may find considering opposites helpful. I love, love, love the outfits you created from your words!! Amazing.

I’m now realising that I’m a level 3 for colour, but my small wardrobe looks like a level 5.

Very useful breakdown of elements for a capsule wardrobe. I love tables too, so I appreciate a lot your effort to systematize all the information in one video. I am not a capsule wardrobe kind of person, as I ger bored VERY easily, but I still enjoyed following along this video!

So I wear knee length minimum coats, or a 3/4 length cropped jacket. Every skirt I buy is a midi skirt. All of my jeans are flared but fitted from waist to knee. This is because I have an hourglass figure. So I want to showcase my figure/bone structure. I work hard to keep this figure. In this regard my wardrobe's primary accessory is my shape. This is going to be completely different for a woman with a straight thin frame that wears loose clothing, like the Row's target demographic. In that case the figure is 1. Not showcased at all, where only very thin women really can pull it off and 2. Entirely concealed. Compare this to the use case of your typical middle age woman targeting fashion channel here on YT--targeting the apple shaped overweight middle aged woman, who has the goal to correct her body shape to appear more hourglass. Those videos encourage creating styling and wardrobes around 'correcting' the silhouette and making the mom with older children feel like she stands out and isn't frumpy. Thus I think there is another tool or metric, or maybe a category for evaluating if a wardrobe works for a woman--purpose of wardrobe, where one end is emphasizing the figure, making you stand out, and the other end is blending in, concealing.

I have a wildcard for you to consider: Chiara boni la petite robe. These dresses are typically worn by newscasters and politicians, or for weddings. I.e. very formal. And yet they are entirely matte and entirely flat. They achieve this through colour and silhouette. Thus the metrics I think should be added to formality are silhouette and detail. I agree that shiny vs not shiny is a defining metric for formal/not formal. Portrait necklines, tea length a-line skirts, sweetheart necklines, boat necks, are all aspects of silhouette that dictate formality. Take for example your very loose garments in the silhouette example. Very loose garments are more casual. The bohemian aesthetic is a very casual one not appropriate for most offices, because of the silhouette and colour. Similarly, colour also dictates formality. Navy black and grey are about as formal as you can get for an office, whereas a bright pink makes it less formal.

I also love that you take into account the boredom factor! Craving a sense of newness is just part of human nature that I think a lot of minimalists ignore. If you restrict yourself too much you will very often end up on a binge! So having a slightly bigger but stable wardrobe is better than binge and restrict with your shopping 🎉 bravo

This video gave me some things to think about and helped me see where I went wrong with a few things! Subscribed!

Thank you so much for mentioning wool sensitivity! ❤(As a person who is allergic to wool, I really appreciate it)

You are very thorough! Such a fun video! ❤

That was THE best capsule wardrobe video I've ever seen! It doesn't even need to be called "capsule", but simply "how to build a wardrobe", and you absolutely nailed it. You mentioned many things that were floating in my head and you actually made it intelligible. Thank you so much for making things much easier for us! Now that I finally know my color season, essences and preferences, gotta get your pdf and to work! However, I'm still a little struggling with incorporating the lifestyle portion, as I mostly work from home and am constantly cooking, and my style preferences are not very casual. I'm always told that I always look elegant (but you can hear a "too" in there, as if it's a bad thing). I'm trying to find a way to consolidate my dream wardrobe and my lifestyle. Would love to hear how others who were previously in my situation do it.

Saved to my faves!

Creative 👏

I buy and wear the colors I love. I dont care if its in my palette or not. Im a red head thats going gray. Which makes things confusing. If I love the color then I feel good and thats what matters.

I really love the texture axis at 28:09 I’ve never that anywhere else before

This is truly the best capsule wardrobe video I have ever watched (and I've been religiously watching those kind of videos since 2015!). Your examples are truly fit coulder weather. For someone living in northern germany, it can be quite frustrating seeing capsule wardrobes for "colder" weather featuring crop tops, flowy blouses and skirts without tights :D

I love this video! Packed with great information! I have a questions: I love level 3 colour combinations, but I cant handle Stark contrast / one colour line works better for my silhouette, what would you suggest regarding colours? I an a confirmed light spring and can pull of many blues

❤

11:48 What are everyone's preferred outfit saturation levels, out of curiosity? I am at a 3. 😂 My closet is half black, half deep jewel tones, nary a pastel in sight.

Love your analytical approach!

Do you think that having 100 pieces to mix and match is a capsule wardrobe? 😅 I decided to stick to that amount. I don’t include a few sports items etc. because they do not represent my style roots 🌙🌱🌋 but all else is counted (except underwear, socks & stockings that are only black).

I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe but never seem to be able to stay on track, as random items that I happen to like seem to infiltrate the capsule. the one time I do use a capsule wardrobe is when I'm travelling, as I only take a carry on bag. Your exhaustive breakdown will inform my next travel capsule.

I would rather be cold than hot. I hate sweating 😂 In my 50’s now I’m avoiding heavy sweaters and layers

I’ve watched so many videos about capsule wardrobes. This was one of the best!!!

This is absolutely fantastic, Mili. It is so detailed and really informative and helpful. I identified so many issues I have had with capsule wardrobes while watching. Thank you so much for all of your well researched and presented videos. This was truly next level ❤

This was so helpful! I’ve always thought I get bored easily but when you gave examples of how often someone might outfit repeat I realised I normally forget what I wore last week 😂 And I lived out of a carry on suitcase very happily for months. So I think I can have a small wardrobe as long as it includes different vibes! I’d never thought of it this way but the only outfit silhouette I don’t like is straight. It looks weird on me and it’s physically uncomfortable too. It’s not tight enough to actually fit my curves but it’s not loose enough to hide them. I love the other three equally! Sometimes I’ll have a strong preference for/against one because of my mood but overall it balances out

Simply wow!!! ❤❤❤ The amount of information, examples and research!!! 💕 This just explains so much in an intuitive manner that is not always found in other channels. 🎉 Hoping to watch your examples for Spring/Summer. 👗 I'm will be absorbing all of this research and try to replicate your formula with BG and myself, crossing fingers 🤞🙈
