My realistic winter capsule wardrobe

[@MalamaLife]

What are your 3 winter wardrobe essentials? 🧣🧤🧦

[@ElegantBohemian-z8e]

Merino wool base layers, wool jumper mid layer, and a hardshell 🇨🇦 Please more seasonal capsule wardrobe videos!

[@pippas5808]

Chunky wool jumpers, warm boots and a thick waterproof coat.

[@allegrosotto2126]

I’d be lost without my beanies!

[@riaamaye]

Def heat tech! Love how lightweight yes warm they are :)

[@kimgordon3695]

fun tip: buy seasonal essentials after the SEASON! on clearance

[@ConserveMore]

You choose pieces for your wardrobe better than 90% of influencers. You strike a perfect balance of modesty, luxury, personality. I hope you are recognized for that.

[@ClearBlueSky1]

Ikr !! There's something about her style that oozes sophistication and she's been my inspiration 💖!

[@JehanineMelmoth]

I find this much more helpful than most minimalist capsule wardrobes. I live in the U.K. and it can be freezing cold, with ice blizzards, or boiling hot. The weather can change really quickly and there’s lots of everything! A wardrobe with a variety of pieces is vital, as are warm layers as well as thin summery clothes. Most capsule wardrobe videos don’t acknowledge the seasons, nor discuss washing and caring for the clothes. 33 pieces is fine if you have perfect drying weather or use a tumble dryer all the time, but for most of us it isn’t practical. This was beautiful, and thank you.

[@MalamaLife]

[@noelleromberger2582]

Love a Malama life capsule wardrobe video. You're style is so simple yet classy and I love it.

[@sunkissed104]

OMG the “my weight fluctuates so much and it’s hard to find bottoms” resonates so much with me. No one emphasizes that enough. Do you have a video on how you juggle that?

[@MalamaLife]

I don't have one yet. It's actually the first time in my life where my weight fluctuated so much

[@sunkissed104]

@ I just had 2 babies back to back and it always always so bad for me weight wise (usually a 10 lbs variance) and postpartum it’s so much harder to dress for my new body until I lose the weight (hopefully)! Love your content, thanks so much for responding. Hope you’ll consider a video on the topic!

[@ericadewitt1446]

yes! i would be so interested in how to manage this with minimalism.

[@ht8038]

Stretchy pants

[@yazzybananas3106]

Meeee 🫠 I have multiple of the same jeans just in different sizes because my weight fluctuates ALOT throughout the year.

[@viktoriatravelvlog]

I agree with you. Everyone has different capsule wardrobe. As a person who has changed many countries, I can confirm that everything depends on the climate, personal preferences, job, city/rural area etc. I wish you all the best and Happy Christmas 🎄

[@MalamaLife]

Absolutely 😍 glad you can relate! Thank you for watching and happy holidays to you

[@carolynmaxim7935]

I admire your style. So genuinely authentic and soft. I appreciate the best is less! 🕊️

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@Irene.Shalom]

I must have seen hundreds of capsule wardrobe videos...this is the first one that I found really applicabile and useful..and the first I felt like commenting. I'm from a mountainous area in Italy and it gets pretty humid cold. I work from home and I decided to let go of my "ideal self" wardrobe and stick to warm, comfortable, cozy pieces for winter. Fluffy and cozy knits, straight and flared leggings in feminine colors and the essential base layers! I find jeans uncomfortable and wear exclusively skirts in the summer ❤ we can accept having two different "styles" for summer and winter, nothing wrong with that 😊

[@MalamaLife]

❤️❤️

[@byemmabekah]

I’ve been waiting for this kind of video because often times I find that winter casual wardrobe videos are done by people who primarily live in warmer climates where tshirts are still acceptable, and it’s hard for us in freezing climates to feel cute and warm! Thanks for this!

[@MalamaLife]

So glad it was helpful! Yes we definitely need more clothing choices in the winter

[@blowoutf0rsummer]

I love that this idea, I am looking to simplify my wardrobe in 2025 and as someone who just started her style journey last year, I am glad that I have a better sense of what works for me and what my style is. This video gave me some ideas on how to simplify my winter outfits. Thank you for sharing. Happy Holiday's.

[@MalamaLife]

[@workitcha]

Love this vid ❤. Im no minimalist but trying not to buy new clothes now & shopping my closet more often & recreating new pieces from it as well as being more intentional now. 🙏🥰🌍

[@riceball1232]

I love these kind of capsule wardrobe videos made by you :) almost like ASMR but for clothes. Could you do one for spring?

[@sarahchidester5303]

I just moved from a tropical climate to a notoriously snowy one and this is very helpful! Since I’m in my fertile years, I stick to dresses, skirts and overalls so that I don’t need to have different sets of clothes for different body shapes.

[@MalamaLife]

❤️❤️❤️ stay warm!

[@joydcosta3211]

Hi Sophie, great video! I enjoy winter and the cold weather. My three essentials - a quality coat, comfortable yet stylish boots, and a warm hat. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season in Portugal.

[@MalamaLife]

Great choices! Merry Christmas and Happy holidays ❤️❤️

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

It is so wonderful to see you again! And what a beautiful wardrobe, you have curated! It suits you all so very well. The colors, silhouettes all suit you so beautifully. I just went through my wardrobe last night and did a massive declutter. I was finding that I was only wearing pajama sets and workout clothes because I was simply overwhelmed by how much I have accumulated. There is so much relief now and a lightness that I was longing to find since doing this. My weight also fluctuates, especially since becoming a mother of three. I finally needed to let go of some pants that are 3 to 4 sizes smaller than where I am now. I kept those that are one to two sizes smaller because I do anticipate losing more baby weight! I do hope that others can find and enjoy the pieces I have Decluttered and make them part of a cherished collection.

[@ginarhodes2855]

Snow boots, rain boots and gloves. We live at an elevation that snows. Our summer weather is very hot, sometimes over 100 degrees. With short spring and fall. It can be very challenging at times. When in doubt layer. California has all climates. Wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday season.

[@MalamaLife]

Oh yes! I'm sure the boots are essential! Happy holidays to you

[@thuytienngonguyen2089]

You always give me inspiration. I’ve tried on my clothes and re mixed and matched. Being more stylish with what I already have and building on that with items I will wear over and over. Now I’m going to look at accessories that I already have. ❤

[@Vanjuska0212]

I get your struggle. As a european also from a mediterranean country I know all about long sleeves and how to layer, mix and match warm clothes but when I moved to vietnam for a year in 2022 I struggled choosing appropriate clothes to be culturally acceptable yet appropriate for the humid tropical climate. The struggle is real!

[@MalamaLife]

So glad you can relate! Clothes and what we wear are so specific to the climate and culture! I hope your time in Vietnam was magical

[@Vanjuska0212]

@MalamaLife exactly! In one part of the world it may be an effortless task while somewhere else a real challenge. Yes, vietnam was incredible! Merry Christmas Sophie!

[@k.h.7575]

Wow, you have many more wool sweaters than me, and I live in Scandinavia 😂 I only have 3 cardigans, some cotton sweatshirts and some thinner blouses in wool, cotton and bamboo. I just find cardigans so practical and easy to put on and take off. I imagine the difference that is we have very warm houses compared to southern Europe. But I then have 2 VERY warm winter coats; one vintage lamb fur, and another in down, it's light as a feather, wind and rain proof, with hoodie and goes all the way to my ancles ( a true dream!). ❤

[@MalamaLife]

Yes, the houses are very cold so the sweaters and cardigan help a lot 😁 wishing you a cozy winter in Scandinavia

I just love u and ur videos so much...plz keep making them ...also u r so pretty

[@4eburawka18]

Layering is keyyyy and you absolutely nail it despite you're from a warm climate :) Your winter version is just gorgeous ☺ I also admire how you layer lighter jackets under warmer jackets. Where I live, we have all four seasons, but I've never worn a wool coat in the winter. Coats are for fall/spring, while in winter it's either a long puffer jacket or fur. But now I am wondering whether one of my lighter jackets would fit under a coat to have more opportunities to wear it than just in-between 😇 It's a pity this wouldn't work with the shoes - we have knee-high leather shoes lined with wool or fur for winter, while in the fall you can wear shorter boots with no lining. Again, where I live, the houses have central heating so you could wear pretty much the same clothes all year round. The problem is when the winter comes, it's always the same outerwear on top of everything 😃 I love playing with textures so I have a short faux-fur, a knee-length puffer coat and a warm sheepskin coat for the coldest days. Also hats, scarves and mittens lined with fleece ❤‍🔥

[@nathaliefischer679]

This is very helpful. I recently changed jobs. Before, I had to wear kind of a uniform. In private, I dressed more casualy, but didn‘t need a lot of clothes. Now, I have to interact more with people, but also in a more creative environment. My warsrobe definitely needed some adjustments to suit that new job where I can wear my on clothes. I had to buy in a hurry for cold season, so I made some not so good choices. Your guide would have helped me two months ago 🤗 I will use it for next time

[@MalamaLife]

🙌❤️ good luck at your new job

[@amandalow1065]

Pretty looks! Questions: 1) what do you wear to keep your head warm? Looked like you were wearing earmuffs in a clip. Beanies are my go to, as I would otherwise get headaches from the cold, but i think i can look more stylish without them. 2) what layers do you have for the long skirt?

[@kadeeeartiaga]

We dnt have a winter season here in the Philippines but I enjoyed this, love wardrobe they’re so practical yet still aesthetic and trendy for me

[@MalamaLife]

[@TheMennomilist]

I think your skirt is really cute!! I love long skirts like that. You have a nice style. I like it. Oh man, I was only a 24 inch waist until I had kids. Granted I am probably way taller than you (5'9"). Then I was a 26-27 inch waist. Now that I had a kid at 39 and am 41, I don't even know what my waist is but I'll get it back to where it was.

[@ElenaClassicFan]

I live in the cold climate. My go-to in late autumn and winter are sweater dresses with wool tights. So fast to put on and you look put together. As for pants, I don't wear jeans in winter. I find them just uncomfortable to put on upon thermals, and also I don't want to ruin their hems in all that snow and dirt outside. So my choice are warm leggings and joggers or knitted skirt as bottom. Sometimes I also use culotte pants.

[@MalamaLife]

Such great ideas to swap jeans in the winter!❄️
