Capsule wardrobe checklist
A capsule wardrobe is a small set of clothes that all combine with each other, often 30 to 40 pieces per season including shoes. This checklist is a starting point of 27 basics. Tick what you already own; what is left shows what is actually missing.

How to build a capsule from what you own
1. Start with what you wear
The best capsule pieces are the ones you already reach for. Log what you wear for a few weeks before you decide.
2. Pick a base of neutrals
Two or three neutral colours (for example navy, grey and cream) for most pieces, and one or two accent colours, make almost everything combine.
3. Fill real gaps only
Tick what you own on this list. Buy only what is missing and what you would wear at least weekly.
Frequently asked questions
How many items are in a capsule wardrobe?
There is no fixed number. Popular methods use about 30 to 40 pieces per season including shoes; Project 333, for example, uses 33 items for three months. What matters is that everything combines.
Is this list for women or men?
Both. The basics are the same; swap pieces that do not fit your style, such as a skirt for shorts or a dress for a suit.
Do I have to get rid of everything else?
No. Many people store out-of-season and occasion clothes separately and keep only the capsule within reach. Nothing has to go.
How can an app help with a capsule wardrobe?
Looqa.ai shows your whole wardrobe in one place, builds outfits from it and keeps track of what you wear, so you can see which pieces earn their place in a capsule.
