Creating a capsule wardrobe simplifies the daily dressing process. This concept revolves around selecting a collection of essential pieces that can be combined in various ways to craft diverse outfits. Sandy Koszarek, a stylist and content creator formerly associated with Nordstrom, is a proponent of this wardrobe philosophy.
Over her career, she’s assisted numerous clients in building personalized capsule wardrobes while refining her own. Currently, Koszarek is updating her spring capsule wardrobe and has shared nine essential items that are now part of her go-to looks. These items aim to inspire others in their own wardrobe assembly.
