How Do Accessories Fit In Your Capsule Wardrobe?

So you are building a capsule wardrobe, and you are wondering what accessories you should include? You have come to the right place. I have worked with private clients and their wardrobes for over 21 years and can help you choose what to include. There are a few accessories I would suggest you consider for your capsule wardrobe. However, before we get to that, the first area you need to consider is what you need based on your lifestyle, taste and environment.

How To Choose Capsule Wardrobe Accessories

So before you go out and buy a whole new selection of accessories, first you need to consider what you need. I would also advise that you add the accessories to your wardrobe last. This way, you can see what clothes you have and how those accessories will compliment them. Ask yourself the following questions;

  • Do I need shoes for a particular sport I regularly take part in?
  • Do I need a specific type of shoe for work? Does it need to be flat, presentable, comfortable, a particular colour? What attributes does it need? 
  • Do I go out regularly and need evening shoes? If so, what is the occasion? What clothes would I wear from my capsule, and how do these shoes need to go with them? 
  • Do I need a bag for work? Can a bag for work be used for general use too? Do I need something to carry sports gear in? What does it need to carry, and what colour should it be to match what I wear most? Do I need an evening bag? What evening outfits do I generally wear and what colour bag would compliment them? 
  • Do you like to wear hats? What is the hat for? Warmth, sun protection, style or general use? What colour does it need to be to complement clothing you wear in that environment? 
  • Do some of your trousers, skirts or dresses need a belt? Does it need to be smart? Does it need to stand out? What colour should it be to go with the clothes you will wear it with? What width is best? Should it be buckle or an alternative? 
  • Do you wear a watch? What do you expect from your watch? Should it just tell you the time and date, or do you want it to do more? What colour should the strap be to go with the clothing you wear most and how big should the face be? Does it need to be delicate or functional? 
  • Do you wear scarves? Are they to keep you warm or to brighten an outfit? What material should they be to function for purpose? Do you need a neck, pashmina or woollen style? What colour would work best with what you wear?
  • Do you wear a lot of jewellery? Do you mainly wear silver or gold, or a bit of both? Are you a delicate frame so need delicate jewellery or do you prefer bold costume jewellery? What will you wear it with both in terms of other jewellery and clothing? 

Accessories For Your Capsule Wardrobe

When looking at bags, choose a smaller version if you are petite. With jewellery, gold usually suits warm tones and silver suits cool. To check if you are either, look at the inside of your wrist. If your veins look blue, you are likely cool, and if your veins look green, you are likely warm. I have included both smart and casual options to cover most work and general use. The colours of the capsule wardrobe accessories above will suit all skin tones.

Capsule Closet Success testimonials

'When you join the membership it isn't generic it is tailored to your needs. Michelle considers each individual person and provides advice and guidance based on their needs. I have learnt so much since I joined I feel like I could sit an exam on it now! Honestly, without a doubt if you feel like you are lost with what to wear, you don't know what suits your body shape or your shape has changed, you've lost confidence, you're starting a new job, or you want to minimise your wardrobe, Michelle's membership is without a doubt for you. You can not get better for the price, I have looked!'

I joined Michelle's facebook "capsule wardrobe challenge" in June 2020. I loved her approach of starting off with a concept of what colours and styles you were attracted to, followed by what your lifestyle required functionally. It helped me assess my existing wardrobe with a checklist in mind instead of feeling overwhelmed and indecisive. I found the video format and weekly check-ins easy to follow and explained each stage of building a capsule well. She has been quick to answer any queries I have and to offer her professional stylist's opinion with a gentle manner. I am most grateful for Michelle's overarching aim to help her clients "find their happy place". This membership is about being comfortable in your own skin, not about being super fashionable, and that is exactly what I needed. Thank you for helping me find my confidence again. 😊

There is no doubt in my mind that having a personal stylist online is worth the investment. In fact, at the end of the day I will spend considerably less while looking and feeling so much better. Why? Because I will never again mindlessly spend and spend and spend on clothes that just aren’t right for me and that don’t make me happy. I think we all dream of that wardrobe that makes us happy and confident, but it is so easy to just give up and just wear something. I know I did. And that is just plain crazy because I love clothes! I have always been attracted to styles that I lacked the confidence to try out. Now, with the help and guidance of Michelle, I can finally explore those styles with confidence knowing that whenever I run an item by Michelle, she will give me her honest feedback on whether or not it will fit with my colors and with how I want to look and feel. In short: Michelle’s advice really is priceless. I feel an A-lister in the garments I have purchased since becoming a member! Pssst: One secret, you don’t have to become a minimalist if you don’t want to. Michelle is not about legalistic minalism, she is all about you finding out what works for you and that – along with her very deep knowledge of style – is why I think her membership works for me when in the past nothing else has.
