We have the perfect top half of your capsule wardrobe sorted (http://bigsisterera.com/how-to-create-the-top-half-of-your-perfect-capsule-wardrobe/), now it’s time to create the perfect bottom half of your capsule wardrobe!
Denim jeans
To make sure you don’t have bottoms wasting space in your wardrobe, you need to make sure you ACTUALLY wear them. I know (DUH), but I always buy jeans in the hopes of liking them one day… I never do.
Do any of you have a pair of jeans that are a different shape you usually go for, meaning you never wear them? Me too, it’s time to get rid of them, and focus on what makes you FEEL confident.
I would have a few colours of denim jeans in the shape you like so you have a variety of different outfits and vibes.
For example a light blue jean gives off a totally different vibe than a dark blue jean!
Either way, jeans are one of my most worn item of clothing when I’m going somewhere, so getting the right pair of jeans for you matters!
Blue Jeans
Black Jeans
Grey / washed black jeans
Black trousers
Black trousers are amazing if you have something formal to go to, if you work in an office job, if you have a job interview, etc. They are perfect for your capsule wardrobe.
Having a good pair of black trousers can also elevate an outfit and make it look more professional depending on the vibe you’re going for!
Skirts
Long skirt
These are winter and summer essentials as they can be paired with cosy jumpers and long boots, or with a tank top and some sandals!
Having a good quality long skirt, that can be dressed up and dressed down, as well as made warmer or cooler depending on the weather, is essential!
You can also wear long skirts if you have an office job, interviews, etc!
Mini skirt
There is always a season to wear a mini skirt right?
Whether that’s with long black boots and a jumper, or strappy heels and a dressy top on a night out with the girls, it’s a staple in your capsule wardrobe!
Comfy bottoms
Joggers / lounge wear
Joggers and loungewear (at least for me) are absolutely essential in my life.
I’m not wearing jeans or trousers everyday of my life, sometimes on the days you’re lounging in the house or want to feel comfy when food shopping, joggers or loungewear is a need.
Having matching loungewear sets, or joggers that make you feel good, makes you feel put together even if you’re just spending the day at home.
Leggings
There is always a time when you need leggings. They are definitely a staple in any capsule wardrobe! Even if you don’t like the look of leggings, they’re perfect for layering in the winter, and lounging in the house.
Summer bottoms
If you live in the UK like me, we don’t get out the summer wardrobe often. But having summer pieces for those rare hot days, or for summer holidays is a must.
Dresses
Little black dress
EVERYONE, I repeat EVERYONE, needs a little black dress in their capsule wardrobe.
Definitely get a shape that’s flattering on your body and you know you always feel confident in, because that means you can rewear this dress multiple times rather than wearing it for one party and never wearing it again because you were self conscious the whole night.
Casual summer dress
For those hot days where you either want to go to a nice park or have a nice picnic, having a casual summer dress is a must.
Dressy dress
So you have a dressy little black dress, but when that doesn’t match the vibe, you need another dress right?
I’d opt for a mid length dress, that you can dress up and wear to fancy occasions .
Sometimes a short dress for a work party just doesn’t cut it.
Neutral maxi dress
Okay, I’m thinking skims vibes with these. A comfy maxi dress is not a absolute need, but it’s definitely a high want lol.
It just elevates your typical comfy outfit or errands outfit, and makes you look so put together and boujee.
You can add layers when it is cooler, like adding a jumper over the top, or what it with nothing in the summer!
