A small selection of clothing chosen to work together in several combinations.
A capsule wardrobe is planned around how its pieces combine. Selecting an item involves considering which existing garments it can be worn with, as well as whether it suits the wearer’s needs. Several tops might work with the same trousers or skirt, allowing a small selection to produce different outfits. The defining feature is coordination across the selection, rather than a fixed number of garments or a prescribed colour palette. A capsule collection is a limited selection offered by a brand. A capsule wardrobe describes the clothing a person chooses to wear.
