Hi lovelies,
With the rise of Marie Kondo and her minimalist approach to decluttering, more and more of us are finding that we are giving away our old clothes. If they no longer fit, look good, or spark joy, then it is time to throw them out. Instead, many people are choosing a capsule closet instead, which is all about having a seasonal selection of clothes, that you curate with only a certain number of pieces. They all go together, and that is what you choose each day. For example, you will have shirts that will match all of your pants, and dresses that will match all of your jackets or sweaters. Having your clothes done in this way, really helps you to get the most out of it, but with very minimal effort.
What about accessories, though? Is less more when it comes to your capsule closet and accessories? Here are some of the key pieces that are a must for a capsule way of dressing. They are stylish and look good, but they aren’t pieces that will quickly go out of style; timeless is what you are looking for, if you want to make the most of it.

Black backpack
There is something practical yet stylish about having a backpack in your collection. Not a hiking-style backpack, though. It is all about having a sleek leather (or faux leather) backpack, that can help all of your outfits to look much better. It can work with more casual outfits, and serves a practical purpose too.
Scarves
There are a number of scarves out there, that can do a variety of things for your outfits. A thick scarf is a must for winter, but having a lighter option works for all year round. Lighter, more sheer scarves can be tied into hair, around the neck, onto bag straps, and even used as a belt. It can be a good way to jazz up a more plain outfit, so look for one that is fairly bold, but still a little subtle.
Everyday necklace
Some people love to wear a necklace, whereas for others, it isn’t something that bothers them. If you like to have a necklace to wear, then it is best to choose a necklace that is going to work for everyday. You could choose a sleek, fine chain to wear each day, or perhaps something more like a 14k gold rope chain. When you keep it simple, rather than chunky costume jewelry, then it helps to go with the other items in your capsule closet.
Quality belt
Having a faux leather belt is one of the things that is another good essential for your closet. Belts can be worn in a number of ways, and they are a practical thing too. With the popular look of tucking in a white shirt with blue jeans, and having a belt on show, it can really be a good look.
There are a number of items that you could also add in, like sunglasses, or a cross-body bag. But these four essentials are a good place to start, if you’re planning to have a more minimalist or capsule closet.
