Building a capsule wardrobe: Shoes to love every season

Do you have a desire to simplify your wardrobe, order your footwear and declutter your home? Then a capsule wardrobe may be for you. With sustainability increasingly at the forefront of conversation, the fashion world is valuing quality over quantity. Investing in pieces that will stand the test of time is the new 2024 footwear trend. So what are you waiting for? Get your old footwear out of storage and let's get started.

What is a capsule wardrobe?

Wardrobes that are often described as 'capsule' contain a streamlined edit of items that work well together. In other words, a capsule wardrobe should consist of timeless pieces you would happily recycle to create new outfits. Your capsule wardrobes should be filled with both shoes and clothes that work for your lifestyle and make you feel good.

Decluttering the space

It can be daunting to know where to begin so we recommend giving yourself a couple of hours to commit. Start by splitting your wardrobe by season and focus on the items you will be wearing in the upcoming months.

We all have those pieces we wear on repeat. We are, after all, creatures of habit but why not embrace it! Therefore, instead of clearing everything out completely, build your wardrobe around the footwear you already LOVE and know works for your lifestyle. Ask yourself 'Is this item something I still wear?', ' Is it timeless?', 'Does it fit well?'. If the answer is no, it's time for it to go. It's all about working out what you wear a lot of, and what you don't. Consider donating the item to a charity shop if in good condition- who knows, you may even contribute to another capsule wardrobe!

Identifying what you're missing

From strappy sandals to stylish biker boots, there are plenty of components to a worthwhile collection and often you'll find that your newly decluttered wardrobe is just a starting point. When re-evaluating your closet, choose pieces that will complement what you already own. If you're fond of a statement colour, for example, you might consider a neutral tone to balance out your outfits. Have your clothes been chosen with a minimalist's touch? Opt for a bold shoe to draw the eye.

If you commit to building up your capsule footwear, you are guaranteed a fulfilling collection that will complete any potential look. While this task may seem intimidating, there is no denying the satisfaction of a fine tuned wardrobe. When refining your style, consider whether an item is of quality, if it will support you during your day-to-day activities and whether it embodies your personal style.

Every capsule collection is unique and can be made up of any number of items, there is no blueprint! The trick is to choose versatile and quality footwear that can complete a range of outfits. Ultimately, building a capsule wardrobe is about long-lasting and guaranteed confidence so buy pieces you know you'll never want off your feet.
