让我们来聊聊结构、剪裁、预算、乐趣以及……风格。你可能会好奇这些词之间有什么共同之处。但从本文标题来看，你大概已经猜到，我是在邀请你进行一项非常有益的练习，以重塑你的个人风格并节省开支：为新一季打造一个胶囊衣橱。

It may sound fancy but most of all, it will be rewarding. Let’s dive in, shall we?

What Is a Capsule Wardrobe?
It is a mini-collection of 25–50 pieces of clothing that are timeless and that can easily be mixed and matched with each other. The ultimate goal of a capsule wardrobe is to buy less but to buy better.

In this three-part series, I will walk you through the process step by step, from decluttering your closet to putting together your ideal wardrobe.

The Proper Way to Declutter Your Closet
This process can be overwhelming. How to sort the clothes? And how to organize your thoughts to get through this task? We’re not all Marie Kondo, but we can use a bit of her wisdom to make this very important step of the process a little smoother.

Pick a day when you’ll have time because the task will be tedious. Make sure to have good snacks and good music, and just dive into it! First, get rid of everything you don’t need.

The Old Stuff
These are the old clothes, worn out with holes, discolored, maybe ripped, but you love them because they are so comfortable. Too bad; they must go, and besides, you deserve better clothes. And don’t forget your favorite football team’s sweatshirt, with the logo so faded it doesn’t even show anymore. Or the white T-shirt with distinct yellowish underarm marks. Don’t feel bad, and let them go. Keep one or two pieces for house cleaning but no more than that.

I Bet You’ve Never Worn Them
Yes, I am referring to the type of clothes that you bought on impulse, even though they ended up not being your style. And the ones that you bought on sale thinking you got such a good deal but that turned out to be poor-quality. Give them away—maybe you have a friend who can fit in them, or simply give them to charity.

You Watched the Oscars, Didn’t You?
Let’s be honest, this event makes us dream in so many ways: “Oh, I wish I had that body!” or “Wow, if I could get that type of dress for my wedding anniversary, that would be great!”

假设你四年前终于狠心买了一件超级漂亮的红毯礼服——但你仍在等待合适的场合穿它。你已经说服自己这笔钱花得值，但真的是这样吗？已经过去好几年了，而且这显然不是你的个人风格……不如把它卖掉，赚点钱吧。

22岁的时候，你可能穿4号、6号或8号的衣服，但如今，女士们，让我们面对现实吧，我们已经生过孩子，我们每天要在工作中站好几个小时。我们经历了生活中的巨大压力，我们的身体也受到了影响——但这很正常，因为经历这些阶段是很正常的……
