The Who What Wear Capsule Wardrobe Starter Pack

By now, you should be pretty well versed in all things capsule wardrobe. We've shown you exactly how to build one for yourself and what it looks like in action. We even asked a psychologist to weigh in on the tangible benefits that reducing your closet size can have on your overall happiness.
