You've helped me realize I need to focus on elevated lounge wear and jeans, tee shirts, casual sweaters. That's the reality of what I wear in my retired life living in a mountain outdoorsy community. I'm working on phasing out the "maybe I'll have lots of fancy dinners out" shopping. I have a pair of faux leather pants that are frankly as dressy as it's gonna get! I've been getting compliments that I look put-together and fashionable even in my sweats! Thanks to you they are mostly off-white, beige and navy. I add my white sneakers or lug Chelsea boots, jewelry and a cute off white beanie or baseball cap, throw on my beige puffer jacket and out I go! 💜
You sound like you’re nailing it! Being honest about your lifestyle is a game changer xx
Great advice! Tfs, Laura ❤
Ahh that fantasy life and wardrobe we all need to overcome and be realistic…sigh!
Ahh the fantasy life wardrobe gets me too!
❤ congratulations! It is easy to dress well with the helpful strategies from Melissa. Makes us feel great too. Keep up the wonderful work. Intentional dressing, even in outdoorsy casual settings.
Please give this professional woman a tv show!
Thank you 🙏
Agreed!
Wow! BRAVO 👏The absoltue best info about a capsule wardrobe I've ever read about or seen a video on! I love how you broke it down and emphasized how it should be suitable to our lifestile. I've been working with capsule wardrobes for a few years now by season, since I live in an area with 4 seasons. I still struggled when making decisions and buys for that capsule. I've even bought workbooks to help me! Watching this finally made it click together. Gosh you are just the best. If I could afford you I'd buy your services and all your clothing recommendations, so these free videos are invaluable to me! Thank you so MUCH! Can't wait to watch more from you!
Really pleased to hear that, thank you for sharing. X
Absolutely the best video I have seen on this subject. Such a relief to know I can stop searching for the perfect blazer and black trousers which everyone else insists I need but would never fit in with my lifestyle! I am feeling inspired to dive in to my wardrobe and add a few more pale neutrals first then fine-tune the shoe collection 😂. Thank you Melissa, you are an inspiration xx
Thank you so much! There’s an updated one of these coming out next week focusing on spring x
At almost 50 this is the first time I have heard of a capsule wardrobe explained in a way I can understand. Thank you.
When I’m not at work I’m a basic jeans and t-shirt/top kind of girl, or exercise wear. So what’s the point of having a blazer, tailored pants and white shirt when my lifestyle doesn’t match.
You have given me the chance to actually think about my colour choices and they are blues, blacks and whites/creams so that’s what I’ll focus on.
Just yesterday I went and purchased some new jeans in styles that will suit my(i hope) body shape (hourglass) and will fit in with my lifestyle.
Now to just get some more lighter neutral basics and I will be done.
I don’t really wear colours but occasionally I like a pop of it so as I like handbags I can use that as a statement pieces as long as it goes with my basics.
Once again thankyou for explaining everything.
All the way from Australia
Oh my, yes that blazer! Everyone’s saying we need it but I just never wear my gorgeous silk/wool one, shouldn’t even have it.
You have given me the ability to actually envision myself putting together a capsule wardrobe! Thank you! You're a wonderful speaker and teacher of essential topics! ❤
You are so welcome!
Dear Melissa, I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years and never miss one. For some reason though I’ve still not been able to translate this to my life despite how clear your instructions are. I’m one of those people who walks into a shop and feels instantly overwhelmed, not knowing where to start so I just end up leaving with nothing and ultimately getting nowhere. I feel such dread when I try to shop for clothes and I know it’s an activity that is actually supposed to be fun! As someone who needs to probably replace 90% of my wardrobe and desperate to look put together, I was wondering if you’d consider doing a video on shopping strategies? How and where does one even begin when you feel like to need to start from the beginning? All the best! ❤
Thank you for following us for so long! We're actually filming a video where I take a client shopping with him so that sounds like it could be of some use to you! It'll be on the channel in early February but otherwise it's a 1:1 session so we can get to the crux of the issue or, our Personal Styling For yourself Course. This course takes you on a personalised journey getting you to really look at your body shape, your lifestyle and your styling requirements and giving you all of the tools to make your own styling decisions. Details for both of these services can be found on our website at www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk I hope some of this helps. x
Totally get what you're saying, I'm exactly at this stage. 😢
I can relate!
When I worked I once went to a personal shopper at a big department store. They’re helpful to identify styles and brands that might suit people. You didn’t have to pay for their assistance although I felt I spent more than I might have done on my own. Another tip is identify 2-3 brands that suit you and then when you go shopping ignore the rest of the shops or the rest of the department store. Narrowing down the number of things you look at may start to make decisions quicker and easier over time. Perhaps you could narrow further and find one local boutique that you could buy most of your wardrobe from rather than going into a city or large town. I think we’re over-faced with choice nowadays. My husband used to ask why I had to go into so many shops 😂
This is by far the best video I've seen on creating a capsule wardrobe. It makes total sense and is so simple to follow. This weekend I'm going to do a deep dive of my closet, calculate the percentage and types of clothes needed for me, and then make a plan to fill in the gaps for completing my capsule wardrobe. Thanks so much for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this video. I'm 69, retired and rarely go out. I now have an idea of how to declutter my wardrobe and let some of those 'just in case' pieces go.
Wow!!!! I have never thought about the light white/cream neutral in different weights and just swapping them 🤯! Genius!!
This is THE best video on building a capsule wardrobe I have ever watched.The way you describe everything so clearly makes it so much more doable. Thank you so much. I'm currently binge watching all your other videos too.
Glad it was helpful and hope you don’t get too bored of listening to me go on and on!!!
Exactly!! First time I I actually getting some useful info
The timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect. I spent literally all day yesterday cleaning out more than a decade of clothes, being pretty ruthless. I know I’ve kept some things I shouldn’t and still have too much, but maybe in another month or so, I’ll go through again. I’m fair skinned, freckled, with pink undertones and I always avoid whites, which became evident when I sorted by color after watching this. I have some cream but clearly not enough and most are loose patterns to bring in peaches and browns! Perimenopause has made me a lot curvier in the last few months so I’m going to help myself feel better by shopping for a wardrobe of basics that will flatter my new shape, with help from your videos. Thank you!
P.S. I decided that the best justification for getting rid of the “I might fit in that again one day” clothes is that if I do lose weight, that’s a reason to go shopping for new items later and update anything that might be showing its age!
Sounds to me like you know what you’re doing, well done and best of luck with it x
I just spent two days doing the same thing. Did I end with a capsule wardrobe, nope. Impossible for me since I love bright colors too much, but slowly changing my mindset on how to pick the right pieces when shopping to avoid such a massive mess. A whole car full of stuff I’ll be donating. This video what refreshing and encouraging.
You have really helped me over the last couple of years to curate my wardrobe. I mostly wear casual clothes and most of the time nobody really sees me in my everyday clothes but my family. Mi am a full time caregiver to one of my children. What I had a hard time with is outfits for special occasions and when I get a week off and go out of town. I felt I had nothing to wear and the. Reality was I didn’t. I had a mix of things I had purchased over the years that didn’t really go together or didn’t fit anymore. So if something came up I would have to run out and buy something and I would grab whatever fit and then it wouldn’t be worn again and probably didn’t go with anything else I had. The hardest part has been I’m in my early 50’s and about 99% of the time I am having a hot flash and wish I wasn’t wearing anything. 😂. Because of you and your videos I have a better understanding of how to fit my changing body and what will work for me and what won’t. I now have four pairs of neutral slacks of different fabric weights for the different seasons. I have long sleeved and short sleeved neutral tops of different fabrics for the different seasons. I am still working on my shoes. For the most part I am in my running shoes. 😂. Sorry for my rambling I just want to say thank you for all of your great tips and information. I felt clueless about fashion for the last ten years and you have made me feel more confident. 🤗💜🫶🏻😃
I retired in 2018 and for several years my wardrobe was full of things i wore to work, smart outfits, business suits and dresses etc. My everyday clothes were crammed in. I realised how silly it was to keep all that workwear. I wasn't going to business meetings or into the office in the City. I felt bad as a lot had been quite expensive. But I saw one of your earlier videos on capaule wardrobes, and I let them go (first charity bag over 80 items and barely made a dent!) and felt seriously relieved. I started to think about dressing for my new life. I have drifted but mainly buying mire than I need as cheering up treats and to be honest a bit of boredom. So this video is such a good reminder. The charity bag eill be making another appearance......😅
I'm sure that someone somewhere will be incredibly grateful for you filling up those bags. x
Oh Melissa you're incredible, I loved loved loved this. I've saved a few of your videos but this one will be one I refer to forever! Years ago I was so conditioned to think I can't buy another top in that colour as I already have one but what you have taught me and all of us makes so much sense and it's put across so well. You're right, all the 'influencers' tell you the exact items u should have in your capsule wardrobe and that is not the right way to approach it. I've had 3 massive clearouts since lockdown and I still could chuck out 90% of my clothes and not miss them. I really want 2024 to finally be the year I sort myself out 😆. Sorry for the long comment but thank you so so much for what you do on here, you give me & all of us hope xx
Please don’t apologise, it’s comments like this which honestly keeps me making these videos so thank you 🙏
Yes, thank you for your beautiful comment ❤
This is the best explanation for a capsule wardrobe I have seen.
I have always loved neutrals and now understand how important it is to have a variety of clothes in the same colour waive that will mix and match. Can’t wait to declutter my wardrobe. Thank you Melissa, looking forward to watching all your videos
You are so welcome!
No-one else can do these styling videos as good as you Melissa!! Its such good advice. Happy new Year to you, Monty and the gang! Thank you
Thank you and the same to you!
So glad to hear you talk about 'you must have a white shirt'. I hate a white shirt! You can guarantee as soon as I put it on, it will get marked somehow, and I have no idea how! I cook a lot and although I wear an apron, I still end up with spots and splashes, no matter how careful I am.
Who would wear a white shirt to cook in? For cooking and washing dishes, yard work, cleaning I wear an old rag.
My white shirts are my favorite ❤️
Thank you so much Melissa, I’ve watched so many capsule wardrobe videos but only just now have I realised I’m buying stuff for a fictional life that I don’t lead! I work from home and live in a rural village so it needs to be smart casual comfy. If we do go out it’s to eat or for drinks in a local pub. I need maybe 3% of very smart outfits for the very occasional fancy meal ! You’ve really helped me to move in the right direction going forward, can’t wait to get started x
I’m so glad to hear that xx
OMG that mixed bag of clothing with lots of colors and prints is definitely my closet.
Don’t worry, It’s most people’s wardrobes!!!
Haven’t even finished the video but it is already the most helpful wardrobe video I’ve ever seen! 🙏🏽
Oh wow, thank you!
I love this video! I have been refining my wardrobe over the past 2 years with regular refreshes and clearing out the outdated, misshaped, worn and poorly fitting items. I now have a lot of very nice options and I am working to retrofit back to a larger capsule as I still like having a number of options. The key I think now is identifying those items that are missing or that I have too many of (and picking the best of that category). Having a second set of eyes to move it along would be great and this may be the time to invest in that refinement. Thanks to Melissa and the team for making these amazing videos and giving me the foundation and confidence in my wardrobe! Thanks from Vancouver, Canada!
It sounds like you’ve done a fantastic job so far, well done x
Loved this one. So clearly explained. Thank you.
Incredibly helpful, thank you! Here's to a stylish 2024!
This is the best and most educational capsule wardrobe video I have ever seen. Just like you touched upon in your video, most videos like this just tells you what you should get for your capsule wardrobe, but does not tell you how to think about it and adjust it to your own lifestyle. Thank you for this!
Really glad to hear that it resonated with you, thank you for watching x
ANOTHER LOVELY VIDEO! I'm already reordering my whole wardrobe!💛💛
This advice is amazing! I've been trying to pare down my wardrobe for a few years and you've just explained exactly what I've been doing wrong (and right). I've clearly been trying to incorporate too many colours and not enough neutral light colours. Thank you!
This is the first capsule wardrobe video that really makes sense and is so inspiring. Thank you!
So glad to hear that. There's an extension of this coming this Sunday, hope you find that useful too!
Great start to the New Year. 2024 is attack my wardrobes. Thank you ❤
Thank you for bringing up lifestyles and your wardrobe .
Brilliant video Melissa, thank you x
Great information - much needed and appreciated! I am in the process of culling through, donating, setting some aside for resale, and building a foundation of basics! You are a great help! Thank you, and may 2024 be a year of blessings to you and your family! ❤️🙏🏻
The same to you. Thank you for watching x
Happy 2024, Melissa! Very helpful, as usual. 👍💜💚🧡
Same to you!
This is a brilliant video. So glad to have discovered your channel!!
Thank you Melissa, this really helps 😊
Hi Melissa. You are the absolute best. 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you so much for this. It is probably the best capsule wardrobe video that I have seen.
Wow, thank you!
This was VERY helpful to begin my decluttering for the New Year. Thank you for making the steps clear.
You are so welcome!
I'm so excited for this video since it's my project for 2024 to build a capsule wardrobe for myself! Your tips are ESSENTIAL! Thank you from Germany and have a very bright 2024!🎉
You're so welcome!
Great video Best explanation of a capsule wardrobe I’ve seen thank you
So helpful! Thank you!
This makes so much sense. I've got work to do!
You explain it all so well
Never watched a video like this. So impressed ❤
I love your videos and it has really helped me redefine my wardrobe in my 50s for my changing perimenopausal body. Following your advice to extend my coat/jacket wardrobe over the last year has been one of the best pieces of advice I got from watching your videos. I also have a neutral selection of shoes now for all seasons plus 1 pair in silver and 1 in cerise pink as my pops of colour. Thank you!
Wonderful, love hearing comments like this. x
Merci beaucoup Melissa c'est toujours un plaisir de vous écouter vous et tous vos bons conseils et idées. Nos dressings parfois bien (trop) remplis retrouvent leur véritable utilisation grâce à vous. À très vite. Bonjour de Côte d'Azur en France 😉🤗🌊🌞
This is the most helpful capsule wardrobe video I’ve ever seen!Thank you!!!
That’s so good to hear, thank you xx
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on capsule wardrobes, ever! Thank you so much. Explaining what you need and why was super helpful.
You are so welcome!
So helpful yet again thanks Melissa. I feel like a new woman incorporating your tips. Happy new year. !
So glad!
brilliant and inspiring. I learnt so much in this short video. Going to empty my closet and check out your courses!
Please do! We have 20% off all of our courses but only until the end of May. The code is SPRING2SUMMER
Super helpful video! Thankyou.
This is the best capsule wardrobe I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot!) thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Incredibly helpful as always and explained so well. Thanks you Melissa. Let the 2024 capsule wardrobe commence. X
You're so welcome - good luck!
Such incredibly practical advice. Love you Melissa!❤
Glad it was helpful!
The perfect video to start the year! Nobody does it like you Melissa ❤
That’s a nice message to read, thank you so much. X
I love the way you show real life outfits such as what to wear when walking the dogs - I’ve learned a lot x
Thank you - in a world of fakery, I've got to keep it real!!
Very helpful, thanks 🫶🏼
You are the best in the business, truly! I so appreciate how thorough you are in explaining. I appreciate that you recognize that what are base pieces for one aren't necessarily base pieces for another. So well done, the best capsule wardrobe video I've seen!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for your kind words.
Thank you Melissa, I feel I should watch every time before I go shopping. My wardrobe looks like a rainbow 😂
You can do it - just think of me on your shoulder saying ‘real life not fantasy life and create balance across your figure!
Excellent Melissa! Thank you for a practical, helpful video. You made perfect sense to me.
So glad!
Such good advice!!
Excellent video! Thank you Melissa! Have learnt a lot! xx
This is a beautiful wardrobe, and I love, love, love the green pants! Green is my favorite color!
Mine too!
On of the best and most useful styling videos. Thank you so much. Now to sort out my closet!
Thank you so much x
Best and real personal stylist out there, has helped me a lot, I will shop from the channel now because I am understanding my own figure more. Thank you melissa and the team.
Thank you so much x
So helpful!
Such clear and clever easy to implement advice, thank you so much 😁😁😁
Glad it was helpful!
One of my favourite videos on UA-cam, thank you so much for 1. Saving money 2. organising my wardrobe 3. Making me feel so much happier 😊love your helpful videos. ❤
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the tips! I’ve lost quite a bit of weight in the last year and need to build a whole new wardrobe.
Great basics to know!❤😊
One of the BEST descriptions l have heard for building a capsule wardrobe! 👏👏Most importantly it be for our current lifestyle, plus ignoring the old rules of black trousers etc. The limited number of colours and in neutrals is by far the best advice when building a capsule wardrobe so that everything matches. With your help l have phased out my old wardrobe as it didn't suit my lifestyle anymore, l followed your advice and l now like my wardrobe, it is far more appropriate for what l'm doing. 😊 Thank you, your videos are always inspiring! xx ❤️
That’s lovely to hear, thank you for sharing x
Oh Melissa thank you so much for your wonderful way of explaining to us about a topic I’ve never understood, of having to even attempt to start organising my very “busily coloured” outdated wardrobe!! You’re a gem!! 🥰🎀
You are so welcome!🤗
I absolutely love your styling, you always have it spot on and it's items that are realistic.
I try! Thank you x
Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for yet another helpful video! I’ve been following you for a while now and LOVE your videos! With this video I see that I still have too little of my neutrals and basics. I do have a lot of off white, just not in different styles for me to be able to dress up or dress down. Same goes for my shoes, I need more variation in order to go from day to night. I’m off to make a shopping list! ❤ Love from The Netherlands!
Thank you so much for sharing this information. You are so right my clothes is all over the place. I cannot wait to start fixing and organizing my closet. I love you so much for sharing this.
You are so welcome and best of luck with it!
Another amazing video thank you Melissa and brilliantly explained! Found you on youtube a couple of years ago and ive been slowly creating a capsule wardobe with all of your tips (on a tight budget but like to buy fewer good quality pieces so its a very slow process) i love your style and love how you are realistic with your dog walking, and school run outfits, which is my lifestyle! Looking forward to more fabulous videos with plenty of inspiration ❤
Thank you for following me for so long! This Sunday we've got some more great tips/mistakes coming but then the week after we've developed an entire capsule wardrobe using Amazon pieces so you might like that too!
Wonderful, more of these short lessons would great going forward.
More to come!
Thank you so much, great advice and put across so well 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know you already know this as your a professional in your field but you really are so good at what you do! As someone who thought I had a capsule.for the last several years have realised I did not... I usual just have minimal amount of clothing but not a wardbrobe which mixes and matches. Thanks for the advice, I've rewatched this 3 times as it's taking me time to comply to the rules and remember them .
Thank you, that’s very nice of you to say so because, like many of us, I live with self doubt so sometimes it’s nice to have that validation from others! 😘
I‘m so in love with those green trousers. They - and you - look fab! ✨
Thank you so much, they're old Mango ones!
This will definitely help me in the right direction really appreciate your time and advice, thank you 😊
You're so welcome!
Brilliant video! Made me rlly think what MY foundation pieces are. I definitely don't need the tailored trousers on a daily basis. 👏
Great advice thankyou!
You're so welcome!
A brilliant video Melissa. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Just love this video
Thank you so much for your help.
No worries! Thank you for watching x
I watch all your videos, I think this one is so useful and easy to follow, thank you so much 😊
You are so welcome!🙏🏾
I live in Dubai with extremely high heat summers and air con 24/7 and very mild 3 month winters. I’m also a SAHM, so practically live in casuals/loungewear at home. Yet, like you pointed out, i have more dressy clothes than what I actually use 90% of times. 🙈 I love fashion though and like dressing up when we go out on weekends etc. Over here, people dress up for mall outings! It’s literally a thing here! I am not a minimalist but neither am I a hoarder, i declutter often, but your video has made me realize i need some major tweaking to my wardrobe. Thanks for such a useful tutorial!
Love it ❤ I bought a lot of neutrals en love my closet now. Thx 🙏
Me too!!
Thank you! I have never heard the Capsule Wardrobe presented in this way before. Very helpful!
You're so welcome!
Very well explain… it is not the First time i am listening to you but i think it is the video that is going to make me change my wardrobe!
Thanks to you so much 😍
You are more than welcome, thank you for watching.
Melissa- this was THE BEST capsule wardrobe video I’ve watched. The way you explained things made me realize why my wardrobe wasn’t working- the colors & not having similar items in different weights of the same color. Genius! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Melissa! This video was so helpful, especially to start the new year off right. I’ve personally found your advice to have different weights in your neutrals the most helpful. It filled so many holes in my wardrobe and yet also prevents me from multiples of the same sweater, for example. I’ve been hearing a lot about the wrong bag theory and the wrong shoe theory. I was just wondering what your opinion is on these theories.
That’s great to hear. On my ‘everyday’ women the ‘wrong shoe theory’ simply makes them look mis-matched and almost has the opposite affect of its intention but on my clients who are craving something a little different then yes we apply it but you have to have the right personality, lifestyle and figure to pull it off x
This vidio was very interesting this week xx
Brilliant video! I’ve been thinking about sorting my wardrobe out and this has given me so much great advice I feel I can do it now x
Go for it!
I love this video!!
Loved this, very well explained and demonstrated
Thanks so much!
This makes so much sense to me, thank you. I definitely need to declutter, especially as I have been keeping hold of things just in case I lose weight . I think I need to realise too, that I do not need to wear all dark colours to try and look slimmer. Thank you, I love watching your blogs! 🥰🥰🥰
Glad it was helpful!
My current wardrobe suits my life, my build and petiteness, and local weather/seasons. I have had to make some adjustments for hair that is steel gray, and an older, more washed out complexion. Still neutral based, just different tones. I don’t look good in cream/ivory now or browns. I wear less black, more shades of gray and some pastels, which I never wore before. When young, my hair was very dark brown and I spent a lot of time outdoors in warm weather and stayed tanned almost all yr. But there are still lots of white tops to wear with classic straight leg jeans and flat shoes. I can still wear shades of navy.
Your videos are so informative and fun to watch. I'm learning from you every week. I need to add more stone/taupe to my wardrobe. I did a closet declutter yesterday, it took several hours because I tried most things on before deciding if they were going. I pulled out many items that were really nice, natural fibers, and well made, but that I haven't worn in at least a year. Some I never wore as they were bought for my fantasy life unfortunately. When I first started watching fashion influencers they all said I need a white button down shirt so I bought one, an expensive one, and you know what, it still has the tags on it. I also was on a blazer kick and so I have about 8. There are 3 that I wear but the others could probably go. That's why I appreciate your channel so much.
I’m really happy to hear that my advice is resonating with you. Thank you for watching x
I'm so excited that i stumbled upon your video! I am 51 and work from home these days. I am so beyond ready to pull myself out of my style rut and start looking and feeling more confident and pulled together. Your explanation was extremely helpful to me... thank you!
You are so welcome! Best of luck x
