My Entire Minimalist Wardrobe

All of the clothes I own are shown in this realistic year-round capsule wardrobe. My extreme minimalist wardrobe is a basic capsule wardrobe with solid colors I can mix and match. I’m taking you on a closet tour of my minimalist closet and sharing my minimalist wardrobe tips. I focus on the basic wardrobe essentials and have decluttered my closet of everything I don’t need, love or use. My entire minimalist wardrobe fits into a suitcase for travel as my husband and I are currently traveling abroad.

Your wardrobe should fit your unique lifestyle. What are some of your favorite wardrobe items?

[laurac]

I find it amusing how many people sound like they expected Connie’s wardrobe to be what THEY would have as a wardrobe. The idea is to take inspiration from this video. Choose colors that work for you! Choose pieces that work with your climate! It requires a little contemplation, not just watching a video. And if your argument is that this wouldn’t work for you, why not just be happy it does for her?

For three years, I lived and loved minimalistic travel with even less than you. Mine fit in one carry-on-sized suitcase. I have socks, undergarments, colorful and neutral short & long-sleeved t-shirts, 1 skirt, 1 jeans, 1 yoga pants, a couple fine gauge cardigans, an ultra-light backpacking squashable parka, and quick-dry running shorts & tank top (for swimming and exercising.) Shoes are birks, ballet flats, and Merrell hiking shoes. I'm so minimal in my jewelry that it is always on my body. I use separate cloth pencil bags for: 1. toiletries 2. manicure 3. sewing 4. hair clips and comb 5. watercolor supplies. I don't wear any make-up except cherry chapstick, and I scrunch my long hair into waves without products for styling. I always carry a few books in addition to Kindle ones on my laptop. It's amazing how long travel-size toiletries last. Now that I'm back in a house, I long for the simplicity of that suitcase. My wardrobe is larger now but still has the same T-shirt & cardigan style with jeans, yoga pants, or skirts as the occasion dictates.

I notice ironing doesn't feature largely in your wardrobe choices .. lol. Bravo for not being paranoid that everything is crease free. I need to take this on board too.

You are so tall and slim that EVERYTHING you wear looks lovely on you! Good job on paring it down to the essentials!

[bellastone-leeb]

I’m so at peace now that I’ve seen such a video that pairs everything down to one suitcase. I’m going to make this my goal. This was so helpful. Thank you!

I could never reduce my wardrobe to such a tiny capsule, but your choices are a good ‘recipe’ for reducing my wardrobe to a more manageable one.

[susanhamberg]

I don’t have a lot of clothes, but don’t think I would just get rid of stuff to downsize. My luck I would need a item and it would cost me money to replace. It saves me money using all my clothes until not usable then I toss out. Works for me.

When my sister and I were growing up we used to tease our mom about her many items of taupe! Now we get it.

[tinalemna]

I actually think you have the perfect wardrobe. All your clothes look great on you. Brilliant idea wearing neutrals that you can mix and match. ❤️

[krisztina]

I love the selection of your wardrobe. I am a minimalist myself but your wardrobe you have selected mindfully is such a masterpiece.👍👏❤️

I'm a 60 yr old black woman and I love your wardrobe!

Natural fabrics over polyester; your clothes are beautiful and classic

[helenreid]

I think I need to purge my closet! I turned all my hangers backwards and turn them back around when I wear something so at the end of the season those not turned back around well those clothes will have to go! ❤🇨🇦

I recently adopted a very similar wardrobe… I find that now, with my sparse selection that I can create FAR MORE interesting combinations because my clothing isn’t surrounded by fifty other items hanging on the bar that are nothing more than “noise”. I certainly dress “better” with 1/4 of my original hoard of clothes. Thank you for your helpful videos and channel ♥

[lindadorman]

When I retired, I adopted a simple wardrobe that works in every climate. No dresses, skirts, shorts or heels. I wear the exact same style of black cotton cargo pants and black slip-on loafers every day. I have a handful of short-sleeve t-shirts, and a soft cashmere sweater for layering. Add a light puffer jacket with a zip-out lining and my favorite silk velvet scarf. Everything is washable and no ironing needed. If I travel and need sandals, boots or outerwear, I buy it there and leave it behind.

[nicolelee]

This is a pretty clever selection of clothing. Many people with a lot more clothes wouldn't be able to pull together soany outfits as you.

[marthamolls]

I love your choices. Would you be willing to share the designers? Especially those wide leg beige pants! Love them!

[evelynallen]

Reading about your lovely minimalist wardrobe, I smiled when I thought of my friend whose husband said to her that he was having trouble fitting his clothes in his wardrobe. Well, you do have 54 shirts, she replied. 😂

Bravo! I am in process of paring down my wardrobe. Over the past few years, I realized that I wear very few of my clothes. The next thing I noticed was that the favored clothes are natural fiber and easy to wear. Dresses are my 'go to'. The area I have the most difficulty with is shoes-it is hard to find comfortable, attractive shoes that are supportive and do not make my legs look stumpy. Sandals and boots are the easiest. I cannot wear heels any longer, so dressier shoes are hard to find.
