A Personalised Capsule Wardrobe
How does a Personalised Capsule Wardrobe Session Work?
Depending on your capsule wardrobe request, we will cover the following points.
1. Define Your Style:
- We start by identifying your personal style preferences. Determine whether you lean towards classic, bohemian, minimalistic, or any other style. Consider what makes you feel most confident and comfortable.
2. Assess Your Lifestyle:
- We will analyse your lifestyle categories, considering your daily activities and routines. Are you primarily working from home, going to the office, or engaging in outdoor activities? Your capsule wardrobe should align with your lifestyle.
3. Consider the Australian climate:
- We will discuss your fabric preference and ensure your capsule wardrobe includes appropriate clothing for your local weather conditions and your lifestyle.
4. Choose a Color Palette:
- We will select a colour palette that resonates with you and complements your skin tone. Neutrals like black, white, navy, and beige work well in most capsules and can be easily mixed and matched with accent colours.
5. Declutter Your Current Wardrobe:
- Before shopping for new items, we will declutter your existing wardrobe. Donate or sell clothing you no longer wear or need. This will make it easier to see what you already have and what gaps need to be filled.
6. Identify Core Pieces:
- We will discuss versatile core pieces that can be your capsule’s foundation. This typically includes items like:
- Tops (e.g., blouses, t-shirts)
- Bottoms (e.g., trousers, jeans, skirts)
- Outerwear (e.g., blazers, coats)
- Shoes (e.g., comfortable flats, sneakers, heels)
- Accessories (e.g., scarves, belts, handbags)
7. Mix & Match:
- We will ensure that every piece you add to your capsule can be mixed and matched with other items. This maximises outfit possibilities and minimises the number of items you need.
8. Create a Shopping List to Fill in the Gaps:
- Once you have your core pieces, we will identify gaps in your capsule. These could be specific items needed for work, casual wear, special occasions, or seasonal changes.
9. Wardrobe Integration
- You will receive a curated capsule with outfit collages and active shopping links, giving you the tools to create stylish looks effortlessly.

How to Create a Capsule Wardrobe in Australia
What Fabric to Choose for Your Personalised Capsule Wardrobe
Creating your own capsule wardrobe in Australia follows the same principles as anywhere else, with a few considerations for the Australian climate and lifestyle. Australia’s climate varies from region to region. Ensure your capsule wardrobe includes appropriate clothing for your local weather conditions, ranging from hot and humid north to cooler south. For example, coastal areas may require lightweight and breathable fabrics, while inland regions may experience extreme temperatures. Here are some fabric choices to consider for your Australian capsule wardrobe:
- Cotton: Cotton is a versatile fabric perfect for warm Australian weather. It’s breathable and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for t-shirts, lightweight blouses, and summer dresses.
- Linen: Linen is another breathable fabric ideal for hot and humid conditions. It has a relaxed, casual look and is perfect for summer tops, dresses, and relaxed-fit pants.
- Bamboo: Bamboo fabric is soft, moisture-wicking, and eco-friendly. It’s an excellent choice for activewear, t-shirts, and undergarments, particularly in hot and humid regions.
- Modal: Modal is a type of rayon known for its silky feel and breathability. It’s comfortable against the skin and works well for lightweight tops, dresses, and loungewear.
- Tencel (Lyocell): Tencel is a sustainable fabric known for its moisture-wicking properties and softness. It’s suitable for dresses, blouses, and eco-conscious clothing choices.
- Merino Wool: Merino wool is an excellent choice for cooler Australian regions. It’s warm, breathable, and moisture-wicking, ideal for sweaters, cardigans, and base layers.
- Denim: Denim is a classic fabric that works well for jeans, skirts, and jackets. It’s durable and suitable for various Australian seasons.
- Synthetic Blends: Some synthetic fabrics, like polyester blends, can offer moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties. They are suitable for activewear and outdoor activities.
- Silk: Silk is a luxurious choice for special occasions or dressier outfits. While it may not be the best option for hot weather, it’s great for cooler evenings.
- Breathable Blends: Fabrics that combine natural fibres like cotton, linen, or bamboo with synthetic fibres can offer the best of both worlds, providing comfort and durability.
Remember that your choice of fabrics should also align with your style preferences and the specific occasions you’ll be dressing for in your capsule wardrobe. By selecting appropriate materials for the Australian climate, you’ll ensure your capsule wardrobe keeps you comfortable and stylish year-round.
