Who is a capsule wardrobe for?
For people who own little, or whose clothes don't add up to a system. For people who are moving and rebuilding a wardrobe for a different climate. And for anyone who wants getting dressed to take five minutes. I build a capsule not around style in general but around your actual week: work, kids, sport, going out. That is why it holds no special-occasion pieces that hang in the closet for years.
How is a capsule wardrobe different from a wardrobe edit?
A wardrobe edit is a session where we go through your closet together, try everything on and decide what happens to each piece. A capsule is built online, without that session. We check what you already own that fits, I set the palette and silhouettes, and you get a shopping list with links and a lookbook. The edit answers what to do with all of this. The capsule answers what to wear tomorrow. If your closet is overflowing, start with the edit. If you own little or need ready outfits, start with the capsule.
A season's capsule or a year-round system: which one?
A season's capsule covers the months ahead: a review of what you own, the capsule itself with links, and a lookbook. A year-round system gives you capsules for every season in one shared palette, so pieces carry over from one season to the next, with messenger support afterwards. It suits you if you would rather build the whole wardrobe once than come back to it every six months. Not sure which you need? Message me, tell me about your week, and I will say.
Do I have to buy everything in the capsule?
No. We start with what you already own and check what fits the capsule, so you only buy what is missing. For those pieces you get a shopping list with links, and whether to buy them is your decision. The outfits arrive as a lookbook with photos: you open it in the morning and dress from the picture.
A capsule or another service: where do I start?
If you own a lot and it doesn't work together, begin with a wardrobe edit: afterwards it is clear what stays and what is missing. If your main doubt is which colours and silhouettes suit you, begin with a style consultation. If what you need is to buy new pieces, there is shopping with me in Lisbon and online shopping. A capsule fits when you own little, when you are moving, or when you want ready outfits. Not sure? Message me, I will ask a couple of questions and suggest a format.
