30 outfits with 15 items
Hi friends!
If you haven’t been following along, I set out to prove that a spring capsule wardrobe was possible by putting together 30 outfits with only 15 pieces, including shoes. I pushed myself to creatively use what I already own and encourage others to buy less and wear more. This year I’ve been on a mission to be a more mindful and sustainable consumer, and a small part of that is in how I edit and add to my wardrobe. See below for details :)
The 15 items that were a part of this capsule wardrobe challenge:
Black fitted tank
Gray loose tank
White t-shirt
Graphic t-shirt
Cut-off sweatshirt
Chunky cream oversized sweater
Slip dress
Blue wide-leg jeans
Black trousers
Black longer cut-off shorts
Cropped blazer
Leather jacket
Tan trench coat
White sneakers
Black chunky sandals
You can see all 30 outfits I put together on my Instagram highlights and Tik Tok videos, and I wanted to share the list of items and similar options with links!
Links to items & similar items, sustainable options marked with * :
Fitted black tank: original here, similar here * and here
Gray loose tank: similar here and here *
White t-shirt: original here, similar here * and here *
Graphic t-shirt: original here, highly recommend snagging a graphic tee secondhand!
Cut-off sweatshirt: original here (I snagged mine on poshmark), but I recommend getting a secondhand oversized gray sweatshirt and DIY!
Cream oversized sweater: originally from Oak + Fort, similar here (handmade), and here, or again—a secondhand app!
Jeans: original here, similar here* and here*
Black trousers: original here, similar here
Shorts: original here, similar here*
Cropped blazer: the most similar I could find to my original is here, but I think it would be cool to find one at a thrift store and cut it off yourself! Will definitely be trying this soon with another color :)
Leather jacket: my original was Wilfred Free by Aritzia, but I highly recommend searching Aritzia, All Aaints or Madewell leather jackets on secondhand apps! look for more boxy moto styles and don’t hesitate to size up.
Tan trench coat: original here, but I snagged it on Poshmark for 1/3 of the price. I recommend this route as well :)
White sneakers: original here
Black sandals: mine are a couple years old! But similar here and here
This was such a fun challenge for me and I gained confidence in building a versatile wardrobe even in 30 days, and I’d encourage you to do the same!
Thoughts on a capsule wardrobe: summer edition? :)
