During these times, when we're all spending a little less time out and about with friends, it's inevitable that - once we've binge-watched every Netlix series possible - we'll start cleaning and reorganising our homes. And we predict that one of the places you target will be your wardrobe...
Did you know that on average women wear just 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time? Some of us didn't, and while many will express shock when hearing it, we can all sadly believe that it's true.
​
We have closets bursting full of clothes that we bought with every good intention, but for one reason or another - often our fear of stepping out of our comfort zone in real life as opposed to a store changing room - they never get worn.
​
But do you ever think about the journey that that specific piece has been on prior to its destination at the back of your wardrobe?
​
With more and more awful truths about the industry's ethical failures and its unsustainability being exposed every day, it's time to get serious about our waste. And that means jumping onto the 'capsule wardrobe' bandwagon.
Less w*nky than it sounds, it actually just refers to having clothes in your wardrobe that you wear and not having any that you don't. It's, really, what a regular wardrobe should be, but we misused them to such an extent that we now have to add the prefix.

Don't think it'll catch on? Marie Kondo, the Japanese organising consultant and author, recently landed a wildly popular Netflix show thanks to her devotion to the immaculate, minimal wardrobe - so we'd suggest it already has.
So how to transition yours from the current mass of fabric to a tight edit of pieces you'll use and re-use constantly?
There are really only 9 things you absolutely need. And we'll give you, let's say, 20-30 free slots to fill with all the (re-wearable!) extras - such as t-shirts, party dresses, and skirts - you see fit.
