The 333 capsule wardrobe challenge
Marta Ābele
Are you ready to make your wardrobe more organised and more creative?
December is a beautiful month, but a chaotic one too - full of plans, celebrations and the feeling that you should look good all the time.
That's exactly why this year we're inviting you to take a calmer, more sensible approach to your wardrobe.
The December 333 capsule wardrobe challenge
Are you ready for the December 333 challenge? How many outfits can you make from 9 pieces
It's a simple but really inspiring test for yourself:
Choose just 9 pieces from your wardrobe:
- 3 tops
- 3 bottoms
- 3 outer layers
Then spend the whole month creating as many different combinations as you can.
It isn't a competition.
It's freedom - discovering how much you can actually create with less.
Why does it work?
- Less stress in the morning
- Helps you see what really works in your wardrobe
- Inspires you to combine what you already own more creatively
- And best of all - it's calm, not strict rules, that curbs the urge to shop.
You choose your own 9 favourite pieces - we just point you in the right direction.
If you work in an office, that means blouses and blazers.
If your life runs at a more relaxed pace - jumpers, T-shirts and jeans.
What matters most: that everything fits your own everyday life.
Our example
The 9-piece base + a coat
- wool coat
- blazer
- jumper
- cardigan
- long-sleeved top
- skirt
- straight jeans
- classic trousers
- shirt
- T-shirt
Accessories = to polish the look
ankle boots - structured bag - belt - wool scarf - hat
Optional: simple earrings - delicate necklace - sunglasses
Every day - a new outfit
Zanda and I will share our daily formulas on Instagram and Facebook.
You can save them too, use them and adapt them to your style. Be sure to photograph your combinations and keep them in a folder on your phone called "My capsule" - in a couple of days you'll see your style start to "come together" quite naturally.
Join in when you feel ready
There's no need to wait for Monday.
No need to wait for the new year.
You can start as soon as you've found your 9 pieces and feel that little flutter of excitement.
You can do it
We believe style isn't created by the number of clothes in your wardrobe. It rests on calm, confidence and a special feeling of your own, one you create yourself.
May this December be easier. Calmer. More beautiful. And may you feel, if only for a moment: "I really can do this."
