My Minimalist Wardrobe

[@Just_me_1974]

This is honestly the most realistic capsule wardrobe I’ve ever seen. I’m inspired.

[@dorotawalas1186]

It is, except for the sleepwear. During the summer I change it every few days. What would I do with just one?

I am aiming towards a minimalist wardrobe that is not defined by the number of pieces. I am still in my early 20's and i want to learn to save money on external lifeless things and spend it on donating , travelling , saving and having a home. Your videos help me a lot , thank you !!

Dont forget investing

[@gordo110509]

Hi! I'm so proud of you! I sell real estate, and the #1 issue people struggle with when moving is decluttering and accessing what to keep. I've seen it all, couples argue, debates, tears, and even heirs that don't want any of the accumulated stuff that was gathered and stored for years. It really saddens me for the client, to think how many hours of their lives were spent to pay, store and upkeep all of the unnecessary items that they eventually just discard and that Noone they love wants. You're ahead of the game being in your 20s and on the right track.. I have a 18 year old and I am really trying to get her to understand this..

[@mihaelaclaudiap..2]

Loved those Bohemian blouses with big sleeves! My gosh, must have taken you ages to edit this video! The way you ''changed'' tops in the same spot is not easy to put together, you must have found a great strategy to be able to do that so well! I love your wardrobe and I realise that's been ages since I haven't bought any clothes. Back in the days I used to buy so many I cannot even start to describe now I really don't care about clothes anymore, I try to have something just so I can look decent in front of the camera if now I would not buy any for years :) You are right, we do change in time! Love watching you, you are such a beautiful person Sophie, you truly are! xxx

[@MalamaLife]

So sweet of you to notice the editing 😁 it took me ages to change and edit, but it was also a lot of fun. You're so right Mihaela! I only truly care to look decent when the camera is on 😆❤️

[@amym3169]

Now that I'm a stay at home mom, I only wear cotton high-rise yoga pants, simple tops, midi dresses to keep my wardrobe simple. And I learned that air drying makes your clothes last longer than if they were always in the dryer.

[@vanessakasz8031]

This is one of the most beautiful capsule wardrobes I’ve seen!! You stick with neutrals (which I love!), but you also have enough “fun” pieces to liven things up and make your outfits look really unique!! Thank you for sharing! Great inspiration and great job curating this! 😊

[@MySelflessLove]

I definitely agree about decluttering too much all at once. I made that mistake when I first wanted to declutter my wardrobe and I ended up buying even more because I got rid of too many things at once. I'm blessed to live in a country that has all four seasons, so my little trick is to put away my summer/spring or winter/autumn clothes and then re-discover them and simultaneously fall in love with them all over again when the seasons change. Your video, as always, is a joy to watch ♥

[@Sakshi-dn3xc]

I so agree on that. I thing we need to understand it's okay to have stuff if we make use out of it and even if we don't there might be a time when there can be a use. I decluttered my lipsticks thinking I would probably wear mask my entire lifetime and now I ended up buying lipstick again of the same shade!

[@MySelflessLove]

@@Sakshi-dn3xc I had the same problem with lipsticks! 😄

[@TheMinimalistMind-g5v]

Absolutely, decluttering can be overwhelming if done too fast! I love your seasonal approach-it’s like a wardrobe refresh that keeps things exciting.

[@amyzinger4693]

What’s worked for me is to look at my favorite accent piece for spring/summer and fall/winter and build my color palette around that. I have very green eyes so I’ve made green a neutral in my wardrobe. One of the benefits of having a set palette is that people pick up on it after awhile and I am gifted the most gorgeous clothes for my birthday and Christmas! Saves some money!

[@xinyuewong463]

This video really is the most practical one on the minimalist wardrobe

[@MalamaLife]

Glad it was helpful

[@mindymac_does_stuff]

I love this! I'm currently journeying through decluttering my life, and just last week I tackled my wardrobe, again. The guidelines I gave myself were simple, but even still difficult at times. First guideline, if it wasn't comfortable to wear it had to go. So blouses that pulled across the back, or rode up my armpits gone. If it was part of who I used to be (office M) it could go if I wanted it to, so all the suits and dress pants. Fancy dresses, we have a free prom dress charity where I live so someone else could love my party dresses, because again, those were for a different M. But here's the thing, I couldn't commit to a specific number of pieces, because Canada has some serious seasons. Plus 40C summers, -25C winters. So I need a variety of layers to address that, not limiting myself to a number made my process easier. A couple of days after I finished I went to an outdoor evening party and I wore 3 things that I loved and felt so good in. Getting rid of my old non-favourite, don't fit me right, stuff let me focus on the pieces that truly bring me pleasure and make me feel good in my clothing, it was so rewarding. Thanks for sharing your journey inspired me to start my own 💜

[@k.h.7575]

I am still in a downsizing and cleaning out process regarding everything in my life and also especially my wardrobe, and even though I live in a colder climate, I now have less cloth than you 🙈... I feel like I am in a transition periode,.. I would like to Keep it fairly small, but I also feel inspired to choose new pieces in a different style than before, more simple and relaxed. There is new energy wanting to be expressed through me 😊 This video just come in the right time, I find it so interesting to watch how other "minimalist" do their wardrobes... The amount of clothes ofcourse does not matter, it's the reflection behind it, and that it fit into lives, as you say... Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️

I love how thoughtful your creations are and really appreciate that you didn't necessarily link specific items, but instead mentioned your go to labels, that aren't well known. It's also refreshing to see a wardrobe that has clearly developed over time and you don't need to say where every piece comes from. Your poshmark closet is a treat to browse as well for inspiration.

[@robertashaffer3950]

Thank you sooo much for this video! For the last weeks I have been thinking seriously about minimizing my wardrobe. When I do think about it, I think about how daunting this task will be; however opening up my cupboard and seeing it now is even more overwhelming!! Your video brings upon a sense of calm and I feel that I can do this! Plus, there is no rush for me to do everything in one shot! Thank you again! This has inspired me! 🙏🙏

[@andreav1070]

Oh how I love every item here and such a pretty and tidy wardrobe but oh how seemingly out of reach for my reality. I live in Canada which means that apart from the beautiful summer things you have here there are also hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, coats and jackets for every type of conceivable weather, not to mention cross-country skiing clothing which is different from downhill skiing clothing, which is different from outdoor hiking gear, and so on. I even have a specific getup just for hours spent shovelling snow so I don’t overheat or freeze. I find that minimalistic approaches often don’t factor in different types of weather as well as different kinds of sports. I try to go multi-purpose as often as possible but have discovered that specific gear is often necessary to really be comfortable for hours at a time in different conditions. I aspire to a simple yet stunning wardrobe like this.

[@milenaandjelkovic012]

This video is so wholesome especially because of this concept of ‘personal’ capsule wardrobe collection - to be able to suit me better in my needs and type of routines, not just to looks like it’s practical in general. Thank you!🌻

[@natalialenchuk1759]

Storing my T-shirts or sweaters (anything which doesn't require hangers) in neat horisontal lines instead of one big vertical pile really helped me see how many of them I really posses, and how little I wear, say one of the T-shirts during hot summer period because there so many. Since then I try to re-visit my closet and drawers every now and then, much oftener than I used to. Visualization works better for me than conscious efforts or will power). Thank you for your calm and to-the-point presentation, and of course, for sharing this with us.

I've found that, with my "maybe" pieces, my most effective decluttering strategy has been to pack them away in a box and store them deep in the attic. I tend to forget about them for several months and then realize I never missed any of them. Thank you so much for this video, your closet mirrors mine in ways and it was so helpful to see a realistic minimal wardrobe that's not based on the number of pieces you own or wearing a specific "uniform"

When I saw one of your videos I was surprised by some of the views. They reminded me a lot of my country.

I'm usually a real heavy spender and I agree with you: material things are not the source of our happiness. They can bring us some joy, but don't fulfill us. Thank your for sharing your tips in how to become more minimalist :) I'll put some of them in practice

Might be my most favorite minimalist wardrobe that I've ever seen. So well thought out & curated.

[@terev.]

This is actually an excellent example of a minimalist wardrobe that allows a lot of variety of outfits and is suited to personal preferences. Thank you for sharing! I watched this video twice to not miss anything ❤ My weight has changed a lot in just one year and I basically had to buy almost everything new so I only bought a few pieces until I figure out how to build the rest of my wardrobe. This is very helpful ❤

After some experimenting, I now know that comfortability is more important to me than appearance. However, having a positive self image and putting conscious intent & effort into appearance has a great impact on one's confidence. My happy medium is "boho, sometimes chic, but minimal", and this video definitely gave me a practical idea of what this looks like. Not to mention, this video was well constructed and comforting to watch, from someone who is very analytical :D. Thank you!

[@yanifrancs]

I’m so inspired by this because lately I have been loving plain colors! And I think being a bit aged, I am liking the minimalist way in fashion, even in life. It makes me feel so carefree and easy. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@bodyofhope]

I know you commented this a year ago, but I definitely relate as I'm newly in my 40's, and still adjusting to being a single divorcee. The love of colorful fashion by way of consumerism is another change in me. I found myself wearing only black for years, and tried so hard to shake out of it until now. I'm just going to embrace it! I've never been this neutrals girl, but now that I'm leaning into it, I'm falling in love with my wardrobe again and I like the way I look in my skin. I feel like me! You see me and not the bright patterned clothes with edgdy accessories. You just see me, and I'm plenty interesting, and plenty beautiful. I'm also more modest now, which is another change but I feel even more feminine somehow (and I don't necessarily mean long ruffled dresses). Just covered up. Simple but elegant clothes. I'm understanding the value in buying basics. Something I realize my old wardrobe was always lacking, and caused those "I don't have anything to wear" meltdowns lol. Now I have good quality basic pieces in my closet, and feel confident there's always a good outfit waiting for me there. I've been disabled for most of my life, but unable to work only 10 yrs. When I see ppl, I want to look much better than I'm feeling lol. So they don't worry about me. I'm finally putting together a more sophisticated boho loungewear capsule wardrobe that I've always wanted. Hot tip- doing a seasonal color analysis and also finding my "essence" have both narrowed things down when deciding which clothes go and which clothes I already own are in balance with my natural features. (I did both with the help of youtube university and a couple friends over to do a "draping" party one afternoon). Now that my inner novelist has vomited all over this comment section, I'm curious where you're at now with your clothing journey. Are you becoming more minimalist as you age? What fabrics are you more drawn to vs in the past? Take good care

[@yanifrancs]

Hi, thanks for responding. Honestly right now I`m still into plain colors but guess what, my option in colors is back! I still want the designs and colors of pink and flowers in my wardrobe. it makes me feel light and happy. So I guess, I am now both maturing and enjoying still this youth feeling. lol- Take care too @@bodyofhope

This is just what I needed to hear today. Post-COVID, working from home part of the week, turning 52 soon and navigating perimenopause, I have struggled with finding a style to suit my new lifestyle and changing body for the past 18 months. This has been all the more frustrating because I still love fashion. Just your opening statement was enough to get me to watch the entire video. Thank you for being so honest and straightforward about this topic. I've just done a major declutter, reducing my wardrobe by about 70% but some items I just couldn't let go of and I was critical of myself for not just 'throwing them on the donate pile'. I have now tucked some items safely away along with out-of-season clothes and now feel more organised.

[@Didem620]

This is so on point. Very minimalist yet shows your own style choices

[@jayceepie]

I’ve never really REALLY shopped for clothes. I have a lot of hand me downs and clothes as gifts. My small closet is now full and I honestly have a headache seeing it cluttered and not organized. I’m a frustrated minimalist but I know I’m in the middle of being a hoarder and a minimalist - an essentialist 😅 I have two children, a 13yo boy and 9yo daughter & have been preaching about living with less. My boy has been wearing the same jogger pants eversince we got him that. Then I sometimes complain as to why he keeps using the same pants and shirts over and over everytime we go out. Then he answered “I guess I’m a minimalist. I find these okay.” he said 😂 Oh I almost forgot how I always remind them of not owning stuff they don’t need. I’m now in the middle of decluttering and your video is TRULY AN INSPIRATION for a frustrated minimalist like me. Thank you, thank you!!❤❤❤

I also would have never purchased the item for myself. Outcome…it got donated 😊. Moral of the story, I never have to wait that long to remove an item I know I really don’t like or use. ❤ Malama, your wardrobe is very nice.

This helped me realize I don’t have very many clothes, but the clothes I do have were impulsively picked. I also have a few specific occasion items that just sit in my closet. Thanks for helping me understand that curating and planning can really help in the long run!! 💛

[@em6644]

Same!!! Other than some favourite pieces that don’t fit, which I’ve kept because my weight has fluctuated with my health and I’m also not ready to let them go, my wardrobe is a similar size. But I’m a lot less happy with it because it doesn’t coordinate well or fit my needs! I’m planning to use dye to help with things not matching. A while ago I bought a blue-green dress that just didn’t look quite right on me, but it fit which is a big struggle for me so I got it anyway and dyed it with a yellow dye. Now it’s a warmer green that looks great on me! It’s inspired me to do the same with some of my other clothes and I hope that idea might help you with your impulsively-picked wardrobe too :) Just a warning that polyester is the most difficult to dye!

[@colorsconnected]

This is wonderful. Very realistic on how much clothes each of us may need and able to work with. Some of us may need more than others due to jobs and lifestyle. To pick a random number of clothing and stick to the "number" is not practical. Minimalism is good only if it works for us, otherwise it will become a temporary trend and will not last. Thanks for the video. I like your selection of clothing... cute and simple.

Thanks so much for sharing your minimalist wardrobe! It's inspiring and calming. I'm currently downsizing my wardrobe: determined to remove non-earthy colours sweaters and the large amount of bottom/pants that just cluttered around (e.g. many new ski pants etc). I think the biggest challenge is to get rid of coats/ jackets and shoes(heels!). I have bought many great quality and fashionable items over the years, they always look good and very practical in use(especially in cold snowy winter), so I think it adds more value to keep them than getting rid of them. I'm actually quiet mindful (already) and only getting one good quality (that I know will last) outer wear per year to add to the collection. If I relocate to a warmer climate, it will definitely help to become more minimalist :)

[@ntur117]

Your styling is ON POINT! I absolutely loved every piece you showed an the color palette is so beautiful and elegant. It helps that you are so attractively shaped. As a much “heavier” person - I struggle with finding ANYTHING I can love - and find myself with a collection of items I’ve just settled for. I know the answer - just lose the extra weight, but reality is not an overnight fix for a lifetime struggle. This wardrobe is motivating and just lovely! Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Getting a few things tailored/altered can also be really helpful!! I don’t think societal expectations help the situation, it’s normal and even healthy to gain a bit of weight with age and there’s so many other factors too. But I’ve also noticed larger size clothes are often made with less thought. They seem to either scale up smaller clothes or make them like tents, so little thought seems to be put into creating clothes for bigger bodies. No wonder nothing ever feels quite right!

[@juliaodonovan]

I love your advice about hanging onto 'maybe' items. I've decluttered items in haste that I didn't want to wear anymore, only to look for something months later and realize I donated it 🥲 I've learned I go through style cycles and I eventually go back to wearing the things I put aside. I love that long blue floral dress by the way 💙 Also, do you think you would make an updated hair and makeup video? ☺

[@cartoonygothica]

Good tips. Having lots of clothes is overrated. I don't know if I can call my wardrobe minimalist yet, but I do feel tempted by a more minimalist lifestyle. I like to dress in a casual, yet slightly alternative (goth, if you will) fashion. So, this means you'll almost always see me in leggings with dark skirts or dresses. Even when I choose to wear a dressier top, skirt, or dress, my leggings, hairstyle, accessories, and shoes stay the same. I pretty much live in black low-top Converses, though I keep a pair of Vans slip-ons as backup shoes. I don't see the appeal of having multiple pairs of shoes, and I would not be caught dead in most feminine shoes. Three of my dresses are, while pretty, difficult for me to put on and take off because they don't have any stretch. I may or may not donate them at some point in the near future.

[@MalamaLife]

❤️😍 agreed

[@viktoria_t-ko]

what a great video on minimalist wardrobe! thank you very much! a few days ago I also published a video on the topic of a minimalist wardrobe, but after watching your video, I understand that I still have room to grow in the matter of wardrobe... once again, thank you very much for your video! ❤️

[@mtwdd2048]

Basically I think about it like this, you know those few pieces of clothing that are just your GO TOs, always dirty, worn during the day and as PJs just because they’re THAT COMFY/PERFECT. I’ve been trying to take make more and more of my wardrobe filled with these items so I always have things wear that are clean, comfortable, look presentable and that I’ll keep for a while.

[@sanna7882]

Such a beautiful and functional wardrobe. I live in Finland so it is hard to create a warbrobe like this, because of the seasons... weather can be anything between -30 in winter to +30 celsius in summer, plus you need different gear for windy or rainy days as well.

[@FlaraEnden]

I live in Alaska with similar fluctuations! I share in the challenge of a simple wardrobe to adapt to the weather. In my experience, I have found that articles made with natural materials like wool and silk stay in my closet longer than others if they are the right colors. Wool blend socks and cardigans are a permanent for my wardrobe, and silk blend blouses and night gowns are versatile year round. I have heard good things about linen, but I have not had experience with it. Something else to consider is about dresses for ladies; long dresses (ankle to mid-calf) can be dressed well in hot or cold! Add in tights, a warm under layer shirt, and warm cardigan for the winter while stockings or shorts underneath for the summer heat. Wishing you well! May the Lord bless and keep you as you strive to simplify your wardrobe!

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Thank you for this! I grew up in a warm climate and now live in a cold climate. Even though I’ve been here a long time I still don’t know how to dress and I prefer clothes for warmer weather, layers require much more thought for me but what you said is really helpful. I didn’t feel like myself in the styles most people wear here, but being able to adapt some of the pieces I do love should make a big difference! I absolutely love linen for warmer weather. I know historically (in at least some parts of Europe) it was also used for undergarments as the layer closest to the skin, regardless of weather, but I think cotton has taken its place for the most part even though it’s not quite as breathable as linen

Your video popped up in my recommendations & I’m glad it did ! First of all I love your voice 🥹 it’s so soothing and relaxing to listen to perfect for this kind of videos✨And most of all thank you for all your tips especially the one of choosing ur wardrobe accordingly to ur daily routine it makes so much sense yet I’ve never thought about it this way😅 May we all become better at consuming eco-responsibly in general ❤️🌍

I love when you said: "but I don't obsess over the amount of items in my closet" because I think that's the key, not get too much, but not be pressured to have too little :)

Thanks, Sophie, for the content & motivation to downsize my wardrobe, more managable regardless of available storage space. ❤

This is the most realistic Minimalist Wardrobe! I loved that I stumbled upon this video. It inspired me. I hope I find the time to do decluttering!

[@gail7998]

You have a very nice wardrobe, and it all looks great on you! You did a great job creating this video.

[@626COWGIRL]

[@Areutherehello]

Gorgeous! I always wore tons of black for years. But now, I crave whites and ivory.

[@ericka9505]

[@PriyankaYadav-lt5ml]

I m in love with your wardrobe Sophie..perfect capsule wardrobe..u have perfect amount of clothes neither less nor more ♥

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you ❤ yes it's a good amount for me :)

[@galiavillapablo3803]

Thank you! It is like finding a sister! You have the same life filosphy and same taste of clothing as I do. But never sat to plan my wardrobe. I am a minimalist person but always have trouble at dressing myself. I am a nurse, wife and a mother so I didn’t pay much attention to my wardrobe. Thanks for the tips! They are very useful to me

All my clothes fit in one drawer and my dresses are in my closet. I used to have only 3 dresses for a while but I have increased it. I find that I wear dresses more than anything, so now my drawer is emptying out while my closet is getting more full but more beautiful and joyful. I very much enjoyed this video and the aesthetic you have too. You and I are similar. . .where we tend to have companies that are sustainable/bcorp/fair trade but also long lasting types of clothing. I saw names I have bought from, so I really love that.

It's a good reminder for this season God bless 😁👍

[@MalamaLife]

[@evaeilea]

It’s such a great wardrobe! It’s simple but you have good basics to build up anything and a few fun pieces that are you! It’s so refreshing love it 😊

[@maryjanenguyen3386]

I just came across your videos today. Subscribed. I love your voice and the way you speak...so sweet, soft, soothing and especially so calming. 💕 I'll be binge watching all your videos starting tomorrow. 🥰

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate the support

[@tamiwithani]

We have similar styles. I live for the colours and the boho vibe 😍

[@livethemoment2371]

So relaxing!!!

[@julialegrande2443]

This is so great, thank you. I have often times found myself wanting to get linen pieces, but I suspect they will take time with ironing since the fabric wrinkles. How do you manage this aspect, especially since you mentioned at the end that you don't want to take too much time with managing your clothes. That is something important to me also, but I do recognize the value of natural fibers, such as linen, and would enjoy the light, airy quality of it, as this is also something important to how my own clothes are for me. Thank you. I love your videos. I came upon your channel last week and have seen so many of your videos at this point. I love how calming it is to listen to you talk. I've been so stressed lately with many changes going on and listening to you helps me relax a bit within it all. And I can't help but notice you have an amazing way of what you shine light on within what you convey. So helpful. Thank you.

Minimalism that works for you. So important 💜💜

[@BellaTealSings]

[@MalamaLife]

[@melaniebricenodelacruz3662]

I often watch slow living an minimalism videos and wish I have that life, but if there's one thing that I'm proud I'm already doing is building a minimal wardrobe. It looks a lot like the one in this video and it can be a lot better but still I'm so happy with it and exited about how I can improve it.

[@MoriahRichter]

Okay this is the best video I’ve seen for a minimalist wardrobe!!

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

A capsule evolves with you, not stay fixed, I love that 🥰

[@rebeccacollins9297]

This video encouraged and inspired me to clean out my wardrobe properly, I've been putting it off for years! Thank you ❤ love your calm vibe!

[@aurelie-ho]

I own few pieces and realized I've over decclutered😪 I like the idea of holding on longer to maybe items💛

[@missjam_]

I've been planning to declutter and be intentional with my clothes this 2023 but Idon't know where and how to start. Your vlog just gave me a compass and this is by far the most realist minimalist wardrobe vlog I have encountered. thank you for sharing your thoughts with us :)
