Did you know that the average American spends nearly two thousand dollars a year on clothing? This is likely because our clothing consumption patterns in the northern hemisphere have adjusted to prioritize the sale and purchase of low-quality fast fashion pieces.
Fast fashion is appealing, because it teaches consumers that they can buy trendy clothes for cheap as long as they make peace with the idea that it will only last a use or two. Clearly, however, this is bad both for the long-term health of the planet and for consumer wallets.
Capsule wardrobes are the panacea from wasteful overconsumption of cheap clothes. Capsule wardrobes encompass the practice of thoughtfully planning out your wardrobe in a way that prioritizes quality and durability. While better clothing construction is the central focus when choosing pieces to include in your capsule, a capsule wardrobe that is thoughtfully arranged also leaves plenty of room for trendy accents.
But the reason capsule wardrobes have not taken off is because people associate high quality with high prices. Even less appealing is the idea that conscientious wardrobes cannot accommodate trendy garments. This is just not the case!
In fact, here are 8 clothing brands that you can use to build a better, trendier, cost-effective capsule wardrobe!

Winter is on its way, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to hole up indoors until springtime (although some days it can definitely be tempting). For most, staying inside all day isn’t an option – there’s chores, picking the kids up from school, walking the dog, shoveling snow, and of course, going to work every day. However, with the right clothing you can conquer the cold (no matter how much you may dislike it) so that you don’t have to hide for the season.
