Creating a Capsule Wardrobe for Kids

A capsule wardrobe is a small collection of versatile, mix-and-match pieces. Here's how to create one for your kids:

Benefits

• Less decision fatigue
• Easier to get dressed
• Fewer items to manage
• More cost-effective
• Better for the environment

The Basics

A kids' capsule wardrobe typically includes:

• 5-7 tops
• 3-4 bottoms
• 2-3 dresses (for girls)
• 1-2 sweaters/jackets
• 1 pair of shoes for each occasion

Color Palette

Choose a cohesive color scheme:

• 2-3 base colors (navy, gray, white)
• 1-2 accent colors
• Everything should mix and match

Quality Over Quantity

Since you'll have fewer items:

• Choose durable fabrics
• Look for well-constructed pieces
• Buy items that can be layered
• Consider secondhand quality brands

Building on TrunkMatch

• Look for versatile basics
• Choose neutral colors
• Mix different brands for variety
• Buy bundles to save money

Seasonal Rotation

• Store out-of-season items
• Rotate pieces as weather changes
• Keep the same color palette year-round

A capsule wardrobe makes mornings easier and reduces clutter!
