A good tip is to pay attention to the color that you are drawn to, find that color palette that you love and stick to it. I found that every time I bought something that didn't fit into my color palette I got bored of it quite quickly

Or the reverse of that. I would buy things just because I loved the color or the print, but never wear it because I didn't like the style or cut of the item!

I just wanted to thank you for your channel. I naturally tend toward minimalism and have tried the capsule wardrobe for years. A few years back I went on the keto diet, lost a lot of weight, and now at age 62 for the first time in my life I can actually look stylish. Your channel has helped me figure out how to make that work. And now that I have a new job and have to get dressed every day to go to work, this channel has been an immense help. Iʻm also a veteran thrift store shopper; 90% of my wardrobe comes from the thrift stores. Last night -- so excited!!! -- I found an amazing black leather biker jacket at the Goodwill. I already have a very worn and distressed and very loved black leather jacket, but this one has all the silver zippers and angles, and I never would have looked twice at it before now. I can hardly wait to wear it!!! Thank you so much for all your tips and inspiration. Muah!!! xo

Sometimes when you're getting older, it's not always clear what could be your new style or silhouette and I tend to buy clothes that used to suit me when I was younger.

I also keep looking at beautiful pieces that would have looked great on me even just a few years back, and it is really hard to get over the fact that I have changed and need a new style.I am slim size uk 12,, but the skin is not the same, bits sag 😥 and things don't look right. Most of the pinterest boards and style magazines either show young women, or older celebrities who are just as young looking, very skinny and have tons of cash to spend on themselves!! I know Helen Mirran, and those older instagramers, but they are gifted their clothes and often have personal stylists as well. Yes someone once told me of Beth Dajali (can't quite remember the name)..fine, but often rather frumpy style and just not me...exactly what I want to avoid in fact....oh what a dilemma 😂🤣

For those who have already made these mistakes: in some cases it makes sense to invest in a sewing machine and learn the basics. I had sooo many items that were good but had only that tiny thing that bothered me (a bit too wide or too long or too boring) and just by changing up that little bit I could wear those clothes again and didn’t have to buy new ones! 🙂

Amen. Being able to repair your favorite garments that have just one small defect , instead of throwing them away and replacing them, is super sustainable. Often I hear youtubers saying "I will take this to the dry cleaners to get hemmed" or whatever, and that is so expensive! Especially if you are short and every pair of pants needs to be shortened. Learn how to do stuff yourself: hemming, replacing a button, taking in the waist of you lose a little weight, etc. It's crazy expensive to pay someone to do those simple repairs.

My sewing skills have always helped me with the basics like shortening or narrowing a garment, repairs, etc. I’m 61 and my Mom is still teaching me more complicated alterations, we are taking in the shoulder of two blazers now! Just a note: my new Singer sewing machine cost only $200, and was delivered by Singer directly to my door for free, within 3 days. Where I live, it pays for itself by the time you get about 6-7 items hemmed by a tailor, I buy at least that many too-long trousers in a year.

I know when I was younger, a lot of my impulse buying came from other people’s influences or even just out of boredom. I feel like it’s been a struggle throughout my 20’s; trying to define not just my style, but also my life in general as an individual. I’ve made a lot of these mistakes that you listed here, but I’m glad that that phase of life is past me now 😊

Look for flowy lightweight fabric skirts and shorts, or dresses. You can't go wrong with some nice high wasted wide leg linen pants/skirts/shorts and a loose cotton tank, with cute wedges or sandals.

My worst mistake was falling in love with a particular style of shirt, and rushing out and buying it in another colour and print whenever that brand had a sale. Obviously I couldn't wear them all so inevitably stuck to a few favourites, keeping the others for 'best'. Then one day I realised my passion for them was spent and I was left with at least 6 unworn shirts to find new homes for 😕. These days I stick to a max. of one additional version of a loved item, and won't repurchase until they are worn out. Chances are that by then, I'm ready for a change.

Good points! I had bought 2 t-shirts because "everyone" said you need to have striped tops in your capsule wardrobe - a "staple". I have worn them a few times, but you know what? ….I really don't like stripes! LOL! So in the donate pile they go. I love some of the booties and dressier items but my lifestyle is such that I just don't wear a lot of that. Really taking a look at your lifestyle is sooo important.

Great tips and another wonderful video! Thank you! I admit my favorite clothing weaknesses are: striped shirts, jackets/blazers, white tee-shirts, and white button down blouses, and pretty much anything navy blue! Menopause has brought some body changes with regards to fit, comfort, and style in my life. I have been streamlining my closet into a capsule wardrobe of neutrals. My color palette is: Navy, Black, Gray, White, Tan, and Off-white/cream. My overall style is traditional. I mix and match solid, color, separates from my wardrobe to create my outfits. Then I add accessories like scarves, hats, shoes, jewelry, and handbags to complete my look. With basic solid colored pieces to select from, it provides me with variety to pair pieces together to suit my mood or dress for an event. Best Wishes to you!

I have one that’s important to where I live; that mistake is to not taking the weather into consideration. Here in January, where temperatures usually are around -20 to -40, we can have warm days of above 0 for a couple of days before temperatures drop again. We also snow in June sometimes or early September but two days later it’s 30C. So I learned to not put away too many seasonal items because we never know when we might need them. I love your videos by the way.

I would also add - going to fast, not giving yourself the time to test what you really need, what you really like. I have spent a lot of money at the beginning of re doing my wardrobe on pieces that were not good for me. In theory perfect, but just not really mine. I bought expensive trench - Now i know it was too short (i like maxi), and too formal (I prefer round raglan shoulders instead of classic fit and so on). I bought a leather jacket - wrong collar. I bought shoes - once again, not proper cut for me. After that i stopped investing and focused on thrifting cheap things for year and a half. After that I sold or gave away a lot of this things but finally I really KNEW what i like, which colors, which styles, which fabric. Maybe people that used to have a lot of clothes can skip this step, but if you start from zero and you don't have the standard hourglass figure and standard classic/minimalist taste in fashion i really recommend not focusing on the investment pieces and reducing the amount of clothes too early.

First off...awesome and inspiring video! I have been following you for quite a while and you always come up with new ways to keep me motivated to follow a sustainable and conscious wardrobe. Thank you for that. Also, you are one of the few influencers that I will watch all of the ads before the video to give you every penny I can for all your hard work. My weakness when it comes to shopping (90% of my wardrobe is thrifted) is Breton tops, I am ashamed to say how many I have. But the only patterns I wear are stripes, polka dots and leopard print. You also inspired me to get the Cladwell App and I am still loving it 249 days later. I find it does an amazing job of suggesting items that may have been forgotten in my closet, keeps me on track to wear and love what I have and points out items that I am not loving and need to pass along.

T-shirts are my downfall. Black, white, navy and gray. I found a brand a few years ago and bought one in each color. Worn them for a lot of years. They are getting pretty threadbare so I went to get replacements and found them on sale. A huge sale. I bought 3 of each color in two different sizes. I love them! That's the easy part. I keep trying to find my style. I don't know that I ever had one. I struggle and then impulse buy thinking I've finally figured it out only for that item to end up at the back of the closet or given to a friend. Sometimes I don't think I'll ever understand the world of fashion! I loved this video so much I'm saving it! Thank you so much! Take care!!

Hello Signe, I'm 35 and still trying to define my style I think... The only thing I know is that comfort prevails over anything. I hate feeling like I'm wearing a costume, even if it is more "trendy" to dress a certain way... I don't wear skirts like never ever, except for dresses in the summer. I have found my staple pair of jeans which is the ASOS Ridley denim pants. They fit perfectly, they are not expensive, and when one pair gets worn out I have it recycled. I know ASOS is not a sustainable brand but some of us can't afford sustainable items. I'm on a tight budget and I'm doing everything I can to improve my impact on the environment. As you say, it's better to do what we can than doing nothing at all.

When I have similar items I try to pay attention to which one I choose more often and use that lesson: I have several white t shirts and always reach for the crew neck not the V neck and for the loose one not the fitted one. I can use that fact when I need a new sweater, shirt... Also I bought a midi skirt with some sort of feathers attached to it: it looks more like evening wear but I wear it now with t shirts or chambray shirt which break the formal look , look trendy and I will use that skirt more often

Something I do (and I get away with because I am not in a super corporate environment) is separate my two capsules into work and non work. When I fewl myself not having enough items (usually in the work one as I wear it the most) I have a look through non work and see if anything can be moved over. I'll usually find one or two items that I think I'm bored of that I can add in and feels like a total refresh. I sometimes move items the other way as well 👌🏼

Solid, helpful information. I need a white t-shirt, have yet to find the "one" so I won't buy one to just have it. Still want a few basic tank dresses, haven't found any that appeal to me, I do enjoy trying stuff on to narrow down what I prefer. Thank-you for the video. ❤

This was very helpful thank you! I keep being drawn to white t-shirts and knitwear a lot. I think a common mistake is not taking care of your wardrobe properly. I mean, washing your pieces wrong, not using the right type of detergent, not hanging/ironing it right,... I kept getting frustrated and buying more white t-shirts because of sweat stains, but now I avoid it by taking them off the first thing coming home, and soaking the armpits.

That's why I really don't like buying clothes online. The hassle of returning it. :/ I don't have a capsule wardrobe, but I probably should as I end up wearing the same things all the time... I always end up with too many grey items! Now I know that, whenever I gravitate towards something grey my brain goes "You don't need anymore grey!"

I have a lot of items, but this year I'm making a determined effort to wear them all and not buy more. I don't want to donate any more things right now and I've stopped buying new things. What I have isn't a capsule wardrobe, but it's not growing. Maybe I'll get there eventually. Helpful video, Signe.

When it comes to buying things repeatedly, I am a huge sucker for forest green dresses. At one point I had like three of the same color, similarly styled green dresses. It got to the point where my parents would ask why I was wearing the same thing everyday. lol

Loved this video. Every point so true! I’d add at least for me, “browsing” online is the worst for maintaining a capsule. I speak from experience! It’s very hard not to purchase if you’re constantly checking new in etc.

This is nothing new, but since I started writing lists of specific clothing pieces I am missing in my wardrobe (eg red turtle neck pullover) I shop way less! I have by no means a capsule wardrobe, but it’s a lot better than it used to be and I am happy with the pieces I have

When I find a basic that fits, is the right color, and I love the fabric, I buy multiples. I always have. I have found that when I find something I love, they'll discontinue it. I know from experience that I'll love that item and be wearing it 15 years from now, so it isn't a waste. That perfect black t-shirt? Those perfect straight-leg or boot-cut jeans? Let me have 5 of each because I'll go to my grave still wearing them.

And the only recommendation I consider I´ve struggled with too is If you feel you´re in need of some specific piece of clothing for some occasion, like a white t-shirt in my case; try not to buy more than that ( I mean of various colors, just in case). In the end you will regret it.
