In such a situation, many of us dwell in the dilemma before going to the office every morning, that what we should wear today, we often spend 1 to 2 hours thinking about what to wear, so that we can set an impression in the first place itself.

Although even after getting dressed well enough, people are not able to leave their influence, the same person wearing ordinary clothes can also relinquish a deep impression on people due to their dress and style, so capsule wardrobes can help to solve your problem in an easy way.

What is Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a term formulated by Susie Fox, who was the owner of a London Boutique, called wardrobe. This idea was then popularised by an American designer Donna Karan, in 1985. He publicized a noteworthy capsule compilation of seven interchangeable workwear parcels.

The term is predominantly used in the British and American fashion media.
