Coloring your Capsule | 5 Tips to Picking the Perfect Palette

An important step in creating your perfect capsule wardrobe is to nail down the perfect color palette!

But, knowing which colors to include (and which ones not to) can be tricky! After all, the color options are ENDLESS these days!

Here are 5 tips that I’ve discovered over my many seasons of creating capsule wardrobes that will help you create an amazing color scheme for your wardrobe!

1) KNOW YOUR COLORS

Do you know what color season you are? Knowing this will help you determine which colors will flatter your features best!

2) SEARCH THE SEASONAL PANTONE COLOR

This is huge when you find yourself lacking in inspiration.

Simply Google “Pantone Color Winter 2021” or whatever season you are looking for and you will be presented with a pallet of trending colors in fashion, interior design and advertising.

3) KEEP IT TO FIVE

When creating a capsule wardrobe color pallet, I recommend limiting your colors to five total.

Within that five, make sure that you have two neutrals and three accent colors! I use Coolors to create my capsule palettes - it’s amazing!

4) NARROW DOWN

No matter how much you love pink, try not to have all 5 colors in your pallet be different shades of pink. Pick your favorite and most falttering and expand to other options in the rainbow!

5) STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

When it comes to selecting colors for your closet, don’t just go with the tried and true.

Take this time to expand your horizons and be a bit bold with your colors! Have fun and experiment with new and exciting options.
