Mia's Trend Gazette


WHAT IS A CAPSULE WARDROBE?


A capsule wardrobe is a thoughtfully curated collection of essential, mix-and-match clothing items designed to offer versatility and simplicity in dressing. Originating in the 1970s, this concept encourages individuals to streamline their closets by selecting a limited number of high-quality, timeless pieces. The core idea is to prioritize quality over quantity, opting for classic items.

The key is to invest in pieces that not only reflect personal style but also exhibit durability and timelessness
