I am working on making colourful capsule wardrobe/other style direction examples for you guys! Keep an eye out on my channel and my blog because I think these might be helpful to those of you with a less basic/minimal style than mine. Can’t wait! ❣️ Signe x
Use Less color is something I have not bought but I totally want to buy. I guess color to me right now is leopard, gold, and silver lol yes I need that video! Please 😎thank you ✌🏼
I would love seeing capsule wardrobes based on other colors than black or perhaps some frivolous gray ...
Red, brown, blue, green, or actually using multiple colors that match.
Use Less I’m so excited about this... yeah! Lol
Yes please! I look better in colors and have been addicted to prints over the years, so my wardrobe really needs help to get to a point where I can create outfits easily. As a result, I keep going for dresses, because it's easier to put together an outfit.
Maybe your friends have nice clothes you can show? I guess you have fashion forward (well dressed) friends.
I think that you are one of the rarest designers who are not pushing people into consumption. Thanks for all your tips. Love your lifestyle xox Algeria
MERIEM BENMOUSSA thank you so much!
Living a simple life, using less is a great antidote for anxiety.
Very true. Ever since I started decluttering, I notice more and more how mess and many things and choices affect my anxiety issues.
I agree!
so true
Nail on the head!
Your calm manner and considered advice is invaluable Signe! Inspires me to minimise further and the thinking behind our choices.🧡
I would love to see your take on a capsule wardrobe for curvier or plus size women.
That was so useful, thank you ❤️

Signe, I have been watching your videos since the beginning of my minimal journey since 2016. You inspired me to buy secondhand items and now the majority of my wardrobe is secondhand. Your style is not only helped me buy less but also more true to my own style. Finding your own style not following trends all the time is so important! Thanks a lot!
Bebeeru thanks for your support and for sticking around for so long! ❤️
You've really helped me in my journey to edit my closet/update my style. The biggest takeaway is that it takes time. It would be easy to discard a lot and buy items for your new capsule wardrobe, but NO, that is not the answer! I'm giving myself some time to use what I have and really define what I need, so that the eventual purchase is meaningful. With each of your videos, I learn something new, thank you!
Suzanne Cross exactly! Thank you so much! ❤️
Me too! I’ve really realized that it takes time and should be slow. I used to always just toss stuff and then would feel guilty or have regrets. Now, I’m trading for higher quality or needed items, or donating and being mindful about what I keep and where things go.
So true I have been wanting to limit my wardrobe for about a year now and I have just been going through my clothes every 2-3 months and looking at what have I not worn since last time I did this. And the last two times I have ended up with 2 donations bags for my local thrift shop, given some if those donations weren't clothes some of it was bedding and old toys and such.
While clearing out my wardrobe to a reliable reusable place I am also getting new outfit pieces that are more use able for multiple purposes. And I'm doing it but I'm doing it slowly. My wardrobe is no where near small enough to be considered a capsul wardrobe yet but I'm proud of it.
Out Of all the online stylists I find you most uncomplicated about clothing and keep everything simple. Most appreciated.
You have made me want to take care of my belongings. To take care when I bring new clothing and accessories into my life.
That is a wonderful comment.
Fantastic online workshop. You gave so much great information in here. I love your version of a capsule wardrobe and think I may gravitate in this direction after my first few capsules. My tags would probably be classic, feminine, vintage, and retro.
If you are looking for new hangers, try the velvet ones! They are great, super slim and keep the clothes from sliding off. I absolutely love them
I have been following your channel for a while and when I started I had a lot more colour and pattern in my wardrobe. Fast forward a few years and now I am really drawn to more basic items that are well-made and durable and do not require a lot of thought to wear. I never thought I would get to this place and it was not deliberate but it makes getting dressed a lot easier. I have a style journal and I make notes about why I don't like certain things when I don't wear them.
The sustainability movement is really catching on with the mainstream USA.(fast fashion,are shutting down)folks are sick of excess.
I so appreciate your positivity and not taking a hard line! It’s why I love to learn from you. My goal: did I do better this month? Then I’ve made progress.
Audrey Coyne also does capsule wardrobe on her channel and she incorporates more color and some dresses... she would be a great one to team with as you both like classics. .. although she is more traditional and you are more rocker.
Diana Scott I love Audrey! She’s really talented 💯
Add in @AlyssaBeltempo and you’d have the (near) global trifecta of conscious clothing consumption/capsule wardrobe stylists.
And Justine Leconte.
@@UseLess_dk So are YOU xx You are extremely talented!! You are up there with the best of them!! You have what it takes to be top of your game x
I love her too
I really enjoyed hearing your story! I applaud you for your commitment, dedication and steps forward towards doing the right thing, following through on how you wanted to positively influence the fashion industry! I love your channel and completely agree with choosing sustainable, timeless fashion and your channel is so encouraging! I feel that my story is very similar actually, choosing to go to school in healthcare and finding that I wanted to instead encourage others towards a healthy lifestyle. Work more in a preventative space, encouraging health and wellness, verses treatment in pharmaceutical- only based care. This resulted in me needing to change my path as well and that process wasn’t all that easy. Your story was very encouraging, thank you for sharing!
I am very motivated to get my capsule started after watching your video. Unfortunately, I have over 40 items in shoes/boots alone so this will be difficult for me. I'm a little on the hoarding side and will definitely have a problem letting go of things that I have an emotional attachment to (almost everything I own). Currently, my clothes occupy two large bedroom walk-in closets and most things in the closet still have price tags on them. Having said that, I will follow your guide and get it done! Wish me luck! :)
I am a teenager and I have a anxiety disorder and I started to declutter. I started with some schoolwork and,then moved on to drawings and then.... my closet. It was a mess I had still clothes from middle school and, it was overwhelming. Now after a few weeks I actually donated 5 bags of clothes and, have a closet of around 53 Items left. I still try to go trough them a lot because I keep a lot in the maybe pile but,after this whole process I felt way more relaxed and, my anxiety became less and,it’s way easier to make outfits for school but,also for formal moments
Thank you for inspiring me.❤️
Demi de Ridder thank you for being so honest, it means a lot to me! I too struggle with anxiety and I have found that simplifying my life has helped so much! ❤️

Before I knew what capsule wardrobes were, I was not only in that cycle of producing waste, but my style just felt like something that made me feel younger than I actually was. Going through the process at the time wasn't easy, but when I look back on it now, I feel like this idea of choosing style over fashion and being more minimal has helped me to grow up and become more of an adult. Thank you for always being a source of positivity and inspiration, Signe!
I really like your idea of stick to sustainable items. I am an Indian girl and we have variety of options other than Jeans, Tops, Jackets; like Saree, Suit, Kurta, etc. but still I find your videos very helpful. Because of you I got to know that what my actual style is and what type of colours and clothes I should invest in. My western closet is exactly like yours but I am still trying to figure out my ethnic closet...... You are doing a great job and I really adore your style...
Mamta Choudhary thanks for sharing! Love how you embrace different sorts of styles like this! ❤️
I love the idea of you helping other people create a capsule wardrobe!! I'd love to see some colorful ones or boho!
This is such an awesome inspiring video. I have a similar style and colour palette to your wardrobe. I stopped buying fast fashion trendy clothes a year ago and now buy quality as well as second-hand. It has been a slow process to declutter the old clothes I no longer reach for. Keep up the great work Signe! 🌹
So cool that you have done this. I'm 47. When I was 17 and at college studying beauty therapy, I used to love going to Brighton and looking for nice clothes to wear out and at college. The trouble was I used to get fed up with some clothes and naturally wear more of certain types of clothes. I think it was more of a financial choice that I used to gravitate towards black tops and blue jeans or white or grey instead of more fashionable items, I used to feel fed up that the new top I got excited about was not fashionable after a month or so. I've been dressing in a more capsule way since. I wear a uniform to work so that four days of the week sorted. It makes financial sense too as well as environmental.
All I wear are two pairs of leggings and my husband's hoodies. 😭 I love your style!
thank you this helped me feel less alone when it comes to my eco anxiety
I enjoy and am inspired by all of your videos but this one was a game changer for me. I watched The True Cost, so moving and heart wrenching. Needless to say, the way I look at my clothing and purchases is forever changed. Thank you for helping me along on the path to understand that a love for fashion and ethical and sustainably conscious consumerism are not mutually exclusive. Love what you do!!!
I love the video but to be honest, Oskar snoring was the best part 😍😍😍
It's so nice that you're caring and non judgemental, I think some channels are like that too, but in the comments it feels like people are too quick to judge others, be negative or just preach like we're not doing it right.. it's much more welcoming here.
I realize I have such a long way to go, it can be off-putting at times, overwhelming I guess. I've accumulated so much crap, tried this and that with new seasons, I'm not the worst, but I've not been intentional with all my purchases, or I've thought "it'll do" only to find it just doesn't work long term.. I've held on to things, I have wasted money, time, energy, and now emotion. It's just time to let it go, and be grateful I've realized now I guess, better late than never as they say. Thank you for being uplifting to others x
This was one of the first of your videos I watched. Still thinking, it is simply brilliant. It fits my worldview and helps to feel "connected" with like-minded people. Thank you
You’re the best. I always revisit your videos. I’m slowly but surely creating my own capsule, and I don’t find pleasure in shopping impulsively as I used to. Thanks for all your amazing content!
I love this video so far but I’m listening on my headphones and I swear I can hear someone snoring in the background 😂
Edit - just got to the part where you say someone is snoring lmao
Yeah, her dog
I love your style! And love your channel. You are so interesting,cheery,calm, and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your slow fashion lifestyle.
You are right- what is going on now is scary but thinking forward- what we will we do (educate, buying second hand/ shop our closets/discuss how to help) and keeping hope and positivity- can help a person moving forward. I love buying second hand and using what I have to make outfits at home. Thank you for your videos and for sharing with us.
This video serves as an example for those of us sucked in by the word "fashion". I have slowly tried to minimize but it is a process, a slow process. Thank you
I love what you said about not having to point out each other’s mistakes :) At least we’re trying! Such a great way to think about it
I admire your way of thinking and living. I've learned many things from you, about sustainable fashion. Thank you for your videos!
Don’t stress the process ❤️ love and appreciate the encouraging positive way you present
❤️ from the Pacific NW - USA
Tanya Best Hill agree! Thank you ❣️
Thank you for sharing this, the time and effort you put into this is greatly appreciated! You are such an inspiration Signe x
I absolutely love your channel, your style and your vibe. This was such a thoughtful video! I appreciate you!
you are faster becoming my favorite youtuber/ content creator!! so true, simple and down to hearth!
Check out emily elizabeth may youtube channel for capsule wardrobe and styling
your calmness is calming thank you ! I just listen to you to chill more than anything!
Enjoyed your video. When talking about hanging your clothes on wire hangers and making marks especially on your shoulders a tip I received from my 95 year old mother in law is to turn your sweaters or tee shirts inside out when hanging them on the hanger no more shoulder marks. Give it a try.
Just found your channel and perfect timing. This year I'm doing this with clothing, makeup and my home. I will be following your videos and catching up on previous ones. Thank you!
Finally! After watching so many videos with no real guidance and after purging my closet down to the bones I understand how to properly create a capsule wardrobe! Thank you!
Now, excuse me while I go binge watch her videos.
I hope we all win ❤️ I’ve been watching your channel for over a year and have learned so much. Not just about how to get dressed but your work evolution as a woman and entrepreneur. Thanks for putting yourself out there.
What a lovely comment!! Thank you so much girl! ❤️❤️❤️
I just can say THANK YOU!!! you are a beautiful human, your content is always well thought and consistent with your philosophy and way of living. Without knowing I've been using a capsule wardrobe for years, but, I was kind a faat fashion consumer, but wasn't really aware of it. Since I found your channel, I understood what a sustainable and minimalist but also a curated and fashionable my wardrobe could be without shopping every single month. I had a prejudice about second hand (because of what I learn as a kid and also because where I live, is not well seen to buy second hand) now thanks to you, I look, and appreciate second hand items. Also you INSPIRED ME to live a and build a simple but HYGGE life. A thank you couldn't be enough, but is the only word I find. ♥
Mireille Matta this makes me beyond happy to hear!! Thank you! ❤️❤️
Such an important message and video… I’m ready to view the fashion documentary as difficult as it’s going to be- having full understanding of fashion from design to consumption is how I’ll find my sweet spot and discipline with clothing and personal style. So appreciate your expertise - I’m new to your channel, found thru Alyssa and Christina’s channels- thank you for your generosity and valuable insight 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank you for all your tips. You're such an inspiration. Can't wait for the more colorful capsule wardrobe tips
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I cannot express in words how this video has changed my way of thinking. I saw 'The True Cost' because of your mention and awareness and I can say it has touched me at my core and it angered me that I hadn't thought about it or researched it enough until I saw this documentary. I'm 4 years late and this has made a true impact in the way I feel about my own choices and the way I will see fashion from now on. Thank you for sharing and thank you for this content which I find so USE 'FULL'!
Absolutely love the closed clear bins placed in the shelves!!
Hi Signe, thanks for a great video on the basics! I counted my WHOLE wardrobe, all seasons, and came up to abt 70 pieces in total. I've been living with an "unconscious" capsule wardrobe, wearing some favorite pieces over and over. Now I'm excited to start creating a conscious capsule with more focus color, texture and fit. I mostly shop 2nd hand, it's become such a good habit. It's really interesting how when I wrote down what I'm looking for, I became aware of my lack of focus when shopping. Really good to reflect and become clear on what I'm looking for.
I really appreciate this video, all the thought and care that is in here. Thank you.
I LOVE THIS "Chapter" view of your video , its awesome and i know what to expect!
You inspired me last year,so I made a capsule wardrobe for autumn/winter (kind the same for Latvia) .I loved it and wore all the pieces. This year I am buying few things more. So it's getting bigger :) I love the feeling that all the pieces are in high quality and I throw out nothing. Thank you!!!!
Looking forward to the results of this new dimension to your work. Great video and you are a terrific and inspiring teacher. Much appreciated Signe ;)
This is so complete and well done ! Thank you so much, this is clearly of public interest, everyone should have a look at it !!!
You're so talented Signe! Glad to be a part of the slow fashion army c; x
Thank you so much for sharing, and for keeping it positive!💖
This video was so well made and inspiring. I learned so much about capsule wardrobe and how fashion affects the environment which is something that nowadays we should all really care about. I’m so inspired to start a journey with my clothes and outfits thanks to your tips ❤️ also you are lovely. you got a new subscriber!
This was really helpful, thank you so much! I'm actually about to move to Denmark, so this was exactly what I was looking for.
And personally I found the dog snoring in the background very soothing :)
It’s been so inspiring to watch your video. A few months ago, I decided to buy in vintage stores and spend less money in clothes, just because of pollution in the fashion industry and also I buy just when I need something 😉 hugs from Chile 🇨🇱
You are so refreshing, thank you. Love your philosophy. I have been working on my wardrobe and am committed to limiting further consumption. Look forward to watching your other videos. Keep up the great work!!!
Back in the 60's and 70's when I was a kid, my sister and I shared one small closet for school clothes and we each had a chest of drawers for everything else. My parents had the same size tiny closet as my sister and me and one dresser for both to share. We had plenty of room. Now I look at my huge closet and wonder when the fashion gluttony began. I only shop a couple of times a year. My problem is never getting rid of anything, but I'm working on it and making progress. Thank you for your inspiring videos!
Boo Pell I feel the same way. I have SLOWLY been trying to create a more cohesive and smaller wardrobe....and to declutter the things that were my last or fantasy self!
Thank you for all that you share, it was really interesting to hear how you got started and how you changed your career choice. So many useful tips I want to try. Thank you again
Thank you so much for your excellent content. Always a pleasure to watch it. I hope you continue being inspired to create and share beautiful, helpful and super useful content. I’m gonna take a new picture of my wardrobe to share the results with you on IG. One more time, thank you for some much help! Love, Karen ❤️
Thank-you! You are always a great inspiration.
Awww...love the sounds of the snoring puppy. ❤️
I started my journey with you and some others. First of all, because of excessive consumption . I am a former designer as well and now a strategist in Google. But then my journey led me Into realizing something else. Happiness, fulfilment isn't achieved in things . My inside happiness journey set me free from all consumption and hamster wheel. Thank you !!😍 For so much wonderful content
This video is perfect!! Thank you!
I have a colourful capsule wardrobe. My rule is to only get autumn colours such as emerald green, burgundy, mustard, navy etc. That way I feel like I do not have to think about what colours go together, because all of these tones complement each other well... It works even when I wear more than two colours. My neutrals are black and gray.
I do the same, but only buy neutrals purple, blue, and pink. No matter the season I only wear these colors and everything always matches. I don’t get bored because I look bad in other colors anyway.
I do autumnal colors and jeweled tones paired with neutrals
I like the classic basic capsule wardrobe and if you want colour just have a couple of tops in colour would be easy
One of you Best videos❤️❤️❤️Love the sectioning part alot.
Awesome video Signe!! I use both your ideas as well as Project 333
We love you, have wonderful 2020! I truly appreciate your content and focus. It has really helped me. You help to keep us out of sea of buy buy buy. Visiting your site helps to inspire me to stay motivated. 💕💕
Thank you, I really enjoyed this vlog. Inspiring
Love this! Very informative/inspiring video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your living philosophy and showing not only your minimalistic wardrobe but also your home. Everything goes together. I really appreciate your effort in sharing. For a more colourful and personal capsule wardrobeI love Daria Andronescu (WonderWardrobe) ideas.
These shots from your old house make me very exited for your new house haha! Great info and very thoughtful guide xx
Thanks as always Signe. I always appreciate your informative videos. I have learned so much from you. Love Oskar’s snoring. Lol.
Thank you is all I can say. Amazing and helpful. I have too much of everything and this became apparent when I downsized my home a month ago and have no place for my things. I have some work to do and thanks to you for helping me begin.
You are such an inspiration ❤️ thank you
Jimenez Nicky thank you!
Thank you for doing this video! It was very inspiring!!
I am sharing this video. Watched the true cost and was very eye opening. Never think that we have the power to change the system but I can change the way I consume and challenge myself to a capsule wardrobe. Thank you
Hi Signe this was a great video. It was very helpful thank you for sharing.
Just found you and absolutely loving this video and thoroughly enjoying your channel! Inspired to start investing in my capsule wardrobe. Thank you! Love from 🇸🇪
Thank you, thank you, this video is so informative. I've wondered about how you got started. This video
always great!!!!!! I appreciate your effort!
I for one would SO welcome you to London to 'capsulize' my vintage/boho/edgy/classic/very confused wardrobe!! Thank you for the inspiration! :) xx
excellent instructional video! love the snoring doggy :)
Love your videos. Thank you from Australia. Yes, I would love to see a more colourful closet 🙏🏽💞👏🏽
I like the idea of the inter seasonal core wardrobe and then adding the seasonal.
Loved this .
Your dimple is so cute! Love your videos
Terri Bowman thank you!
Many thanks Signe for sharing what a well-thought-out capsule wardrobe is all about.
Your up do hair really looks good on you🤩😉👍
Wearing white tee has always been my dream to wear but I couldn't because I'm stout, with a big belly of size 34😁
I admire you for your kind honesty in encouranging and inspiring people like me not only to look good inside and out but also to help lessen the cause of our earth's pollution in so many ways.
God bless your kind heart my friend🙏❤❤❤
Thanks.love it.you made it easy to wrap my head around.
Great recap. I enjoy the basic capsule but with such variable levels of cold weather I have to update it a bit more often. Thx. Signe. 🌎💓
Just down loaded Cladwell, looking forward to using it! Thanks for the recommendation. I think your voice is so soothing to Oscar. He sleeps deeply and snores often when you do your videos:)
Michelle Dry yay! I use Cladwell too ! Love it!
Amazing inspiration! love from Odense ❤️
This inspires me so much.
