[@QAJenova]

That suggestion about having different necklines in your tops is honestly such a great tip. I feel like when people think of a capsule wardrobe, they think of someone wearing the same exact crew neck tee but purchased 3x in different colors, and then all the outfits just end up accidentally looking the same. On the other hand, you could have 3 white tees but if one's a crew neck, one's a sweetheart neckline, and one's a mockneck/turtleneck, they're all going to have very different vibes and bring something unique to the table.

[@missmayflower]

Yes! This! It’s also good to vary the textures.

[@gerigaskill785]

You make the BEST capsule wardrobes on KZbin!!! Thank you for all you do!

[@missejlouie]

You all are the best!! Thank you for supporting me. It brings me so much joy to help in any way 😘🙏🏼💗

[@kaburtoss]

I've never heard capsules presented this way, it makes so much sense! Using these tips for my next trip!

[@glc9979]

To me, you are the original simple capsule wardrobe specialist! You always make it interesting, effortless, doable. And even though "neutrals" are not my go-to, your tips can be applied across the board. Thank you for encouraging us to experiment, to enjoy re-styling our pieces, and to shop with intentionality. Keep doing what you do!

[@jasminetyxo]

This was one of the best and most practical videos ive watched on capsule wardrobe building! I love watching your capsule videos 💓

[@KendraMcGregory]

This one of the best 333 I've seen. The outfits weren't boring at all.

[@mintywatkins7659]

I'm an oldie and this is SO helpful, very useful to show all the outfits you made with the items..thank you so much..gold star for you..⭐

[@AfroTee]

This is how I found you. You are the BOSS of the capsule wardrobe!

[@reekyreelz1643]

Even when you did not release new videos, I just go back to your previous videos and use as a guide anytime I want to create a capsule wardrobe 🤗🤗🤗you're simply good

[@Suzumiya-haruhi]

You’re always the best in showing realistic capsule wardrobe Thank you so much

[@SaraLim]

As a chronic overpacker, this is SO helpful for travel - Literally taking notes LOL

[@missejlouie]

Oooo I need to make a digital print out for you all! That way you can just save to your phone for a checklist. Thank you for this note 📝

[@nbrown5602]

This is one of my favorite types of videos that you do! Thanks so much for your dedication to your subscribers!

[@keodi1]

Very helpful video, you produce the best capsule wardrobes on youtube; wearable, stylish, and classic. Thank you!

[@hellopumpkin86]

This is still the most useful capsule video I’ve ever watched. It’s the perfect blend between explanations and visuals.

[@bessannkushner]

This video has me mind blown!! Thank you for making it so simple & stylish and also flexible for anyone’s personality or taste ❤

[@nenecadj]

Love this kind of video, when you teach how to mix and match different pieces that we have in our wardrobe so we can multiply our looks. I’m from Brasil and love your videos, you’re the best.

[@BLUEnista]

The effort put into this!!😮 Thank you Louie!!❤

[@sylviamcneil7721]

Thank you Erica!! Love your capsule videos the most!! You have such great style and everything looks great on you!!

[@user-pb3sb3un7n]

My goodness, thank you thank you! I've been trying to get the "formula" for this figured out and it seemed to evade me. I appreciated the details of your explanation: get one set, 1 patterned piece, make sure all tops and bottoms are compatible, etc. I took notes on every thing and it's spectacular. It's just enough information without taking up a lot of time. I'm going to go home and evaluate my stuff using your formula and get rid of the excess that is driving me crazy. I think you gave the perfect amount for reliable variety, time to do laundry/repair, and have a system that is very manageable. I can actually do this. I'm sharing it with my mom and daughters. More is not always better, it's exhausting.

[@m.e.5]

Intentional, simple, and impactful. YUS

[@canar7]

This video I love so much. So visually appealing I can't get enough! I will have to re-watch a few times. Thank you!! the bags and scarves are beautiful.

[@imaginefun13]

Choosing a seasonal color.... absolutely genius technique!

[@anneotherday]

Finally went on my rescheduled pandemic era trips recently while incorporating all the tips & tricks you've taught in your capsule/travel videos over the years and it's truly the least stressed I've ever been about packing and making outfits. I've bought so many similar or exact pieces from your past videos and loved all of them! Truly cannot resist a linen set from Abercrombie especially lol. You're the best and your hard work doesn't go unnoticed ❤

[@eleanornelson5810]

Great ideas. I love the color choices and how they work together. Nice and neutral and the use of medium and lighter colors! Thank you so much!

[@BrandyChanell]

Erica over the years you have truly helped me change my style. Love the capsules! It makes packing so easy! Reformed over packer here bc of you! Thank you girl!

[@allyoucaneat.]

Erica, I believe you're the first (or one of the firsts) among KZbin to formulate the capsule wardrobe! Touché as always!

Love this breakdown! Appreciate you :)

[@NancyThecheerfulheart]

This is by far the best video on capsule wardrobes I’ve ever seen! Thank you! ❤ I feel confused after other ones I’ve watched. Could you go into more detail by season?

[@andreab.1505]

You make the best capsule wardrobe videos! Thank you for the great ideas.

[@prips_esteves]

I’ve been obsessed with your capsule wardrobe videos for years, you’re truly amazing! Thanks for all the useful tips ❤ Kisses from Brazil.

[@SW-jt3sl]

Thank you for dispelling the mystery of workable capsule wardrobe without black everything

[@jTab8039]

I didn't know anything about 'capsule wardrobe's' before until I came across your channel. I subscribed because I like your presentation, you really have useful information and I also appreciate your passion for helping others. I usually buy clothes for specific occasions and usually don't wear them again. I have my old 'stand bys' but after watching your videos, I am inspired to revamp my wardrobe. Thank you for sharing your experience and motivating me to be more conscious of starting with a few items, mixing and matching, 4x4 = 16 outfits. I just went on a spending spree and it FEELS GOOD. 🤣 Now I understand how to purchase clothes that make sense, are versatile and have good quality. BTW, you look really good in everything you wear!!

[@myview6852]

Thank you, it help. Hadn’t thought of greys. Will include some cool subdued pinks for spring summer and burgundy for winter. They go with both greys and blues.

[@hithere6701]

Your videos are amazing the best capsule wardrobe videos on youtube!👏

[@Gevedon]

Great pieces and tips!

[@imeldacampos8458]

This was a GREAT video!! Onward and upward.

[@missejlouie]

Yay!! I hope you had an amazing trip!! ❤

[@sarahfrancescutti9873]

Great video, thanks! Such lovely capsules!!!

[@gate7551]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! Just subscribed ❤

[@laurab6068]

New subscriber here:) I really enjoyed your video! This is the most straightforward explanation of a capsule wardrobe I have watched to date. I'm currently re-evaluating my closet since my career transition eliminated restrictions on what I can and cannot wear. I want to be intentional about what I keep, toss, donate, and buy to save my wallet. I've recently completed a color analysis to better understand what looks good versus what I like and how to merge the two or shift a bit. I'm excited about using your tips and my color analysis to revamp my closet. I'd love to see a video with your thoughts on using color analysis/color theory to build a capsule wardrobe or revamp your closet.

[@sweetmoon117]

Excellent information as always ! Thank you. ❤

[@EmmaHedley-mq1yh]

Oh my goodness! This is genius!! Thank you so much, you are an absolute treasure! ❤

Wow I was very impressed with your video. I've seen many other videos today that barely scratched the surface. But look at all that you did in less than 10 minutes 😂

I love the capsule series. Have I implemented them? Not yet🤣. One day, I would have watched so many of these videos, that packing will just be so natural for me 😅.

[@sadikayasminnn]

Such a great video

[@krsncrs821]

I’m not so creative. So this is super helpful. I need to rewatch and snap screenshots. Can you do one on how to shop for these items or where to find them?

[@rosetteramilotv8446]

You are the best❤🎉from your fan in Philippines 🇵🇭😍

[@missmayflower]

Wow, this went by way too fast. There are so many gorgeous capsules here. And you make them fun! I’m so tired of capsules that are just the same shirt in beige, white and black along with the same jeans in different colours. I’m old so first learned of building a wardrobe by choosing a patterned dress or blouse and skirt, then choosing the other pieces from the colours in the pattern. During the lockdowns I strayed from a capsule I was happy with and am now stuck with a bunch of stuff from online boredom shopping 😜. You’ve inspired me to try to get back on track.

[@nomsambolekwa1054]

I love your blog ❤

[@kathyrayzundel6930]

Love your sense of style and making travel packing easier! Not everyone is your age though. Could you do a video on the same topic for women over 50? No midrift and elbow or longer sleeves. That would be great and would increase your audience.

[@myview6852]

Thank you for breaking it down and being so thorough. Can you give me ideas if I don’t wear black ( I can replace with navy) and camels or tans which makes my look washed out and sickly?

[@missejlouie]

Hi! Yes, if the black + warmer neutrals are not meshing well with your skin tone, I would try the cool colors like navy, denim, shades of blue and gray with cooler toned off-whites and taupes for your lighter options. Hope that helps!!

[@elizabethdugu]

Where is the light blue set from 😍 obsessed with your capsule wardrobe!

Love!

Love your taste so much ❤❤

[@chiaseevang8868]

Always love your videos! Do you have any suggested or know of any stores that are good for people who are very petite. I always struggle to find shoes (size 5s) and pants to fit me well.

[@missejlouie]

I need to make a whole video on this!! Thank you for sharing, I’ll film a roundup this spring

[@mollyp7559]

This is so great. Will you please share the details of the small brown bag in the top left of your thumbnail? Sorry if I missed it.

[@arlenehuiling]

This is amazing! But Louie, how do I keep track of which pieces belong to which capsule 😅 and my wardrobe is now bursting with random pieces, where do I start?? Do i toss them out 😢

[@heidiewert9145]

You’d make a plastic lawn bag look good!

[@chaka3084]

Lovely! Any suggestions for your "older" subscribers? (i.e. like a simple travel capsule wardrobe for your mom?) Thanks!

[@lucreciadiaz3636]

SUPER!!

[@karavuong4393]

Hi Louie! Love this video so much! Would you able to do a capsule wardrobe for Apple shape body? I
