We’ve got a problem. A clothing problem…
Every year, more and more of us are spending money on clothes we don’t need, and hoarding pieces we’ll never wear. With the price of clothing getting lower, and catwalk-inspired items becoming more accessible, we’re buying impulsively, yet wearing sparingly.
In her article ‘The History of a Cheap Dress’, writer Elizabeth Cline notes that ‘our clothing consumption has gone through the roof…our closets are larger and more stuffed than ever, as we’ve traded quality and style for low prices and trend-chasing.’ So what’s the solution to this clothing crisis?
A capsule wardrobe isn’t a particularly new phenomenon – it’s been around since the phrase was coined in the late 1970s. Used to describe a selection of classic pieces that complement each other, it’s the perfect way to curb your spending and rein in excessive shopping – whilst looking stylish every day.
If you’re looking to start a capsule wardrobe – or just want to invest in some timeless staples for your current one – look no further. The Hut is here to help: read on to discover the 7 pieces every stylish woman should own…
