    Thanks Courtney. All of your wardrobe videos have been so great and helpful. An ex-girlfriend of mine who went to fashion school once told me that a good rule of thumb to base your clothes on is "if it doesn't make you feel awesome when you wear it then get rid of it" and that was a huge help in deciding what to purge and what to go after. Your videos just help me narrow down the search and save so much time. Thanks again!

    Courtney this is the first time i heard of the capsule wardrobe thing. It's crazy because i kinda was on it already but i didn't know what clothing pieces i needed. I like neutral/warm colors. I also cleared my closet out recently because i plan on giving away all my older clothes to goodwill so i can start over. I truly appreciate you putting us on game about what works. You haven't stirred me wrong in your advice. Be blessed 😊🙌🏽♥️

One of the biggest reason's behind is that I don't go out besides the gym. I don' do concerts or bars. Never get invited for anything else. So it's keep it simple and easy when it comes to clothes. Shorts and tshirts and a couple other things. Definitely a great video on what to get if you're social.

    Ahhhh...yesss....the ward robe dilemma. It's never ending. I think as time goes on we all improve on it. When you retire, you can almost get rid of everything and rebuild to suit your needs. The basic color scheme you mentioned is a great tip. I got lucky where I live. There is a retro store that bought almost all of my old clothes. Now I'm in rebuild mode and probably overdoing it again.

  • @x-man5056
    @x-man5056 Год назад +1

    I don't like Vee neck t-Shirts either. There is a hack that must be followed with your 'dress' Tshirts though; NEVER wear them to bed. You will stretch out the neck. If the neck starts looking stretched or wavy, it just became your mow the lawn shirt or sleeping shirt. Also when you dry your Tshirts, be right there to get them out of the dryer immediately. A wrinkly T-Shirt makes you look sloven. They are difficult to iron without stretching them weirdly. You might be able to get less intense wrinkles out with a steamer but if there is a lot of wrinkles or even one particularly intense wrinkle. short cycle dry them again for 5 mins. If they laid in the dryer over night, you may have to wash them again to get the wrinkles out.
    Avoid bleach, it will yellow your shirts, "Oxy Clean" works well to keep whites white, not yellow (great for socks too). And it's safe for colors also.
    No matter how well the shirt (any shirt) looks or fits, if it's wrinkly or stretched out of shape you'll just look unkempt and lazy.
    V-neck sweaters look good with a crew neck, or collared neck shirt of contrasting color.
    PS: The pink waffle knit sweater I've seen you wear is a worthy waiver of your black clothing policy. And Pink goes great with black. Especially on you Courtney.

If you have that I promise you will get complements because they look very clean and professional.

    I totally agree with investing in top quality clothing. You'll have them for years if looked after and will look and feel much more comfortable wearing them. Others will notice also. Just decide what will work well for you and what won't. Keeping your wardrobe closet 100% clutter free also makes a huge difference. As well pay mind to what fits your body type well and keep footwear clean. I really enjoy your content on here Courtney. Keep up the good work with your channel. Enjoy your weekend.

  • @martintanz9098
    @martintanz9098 3 года назад

    Good solid advice, Courtney. and a worthwhile exercise. Now, once you built your capsule wardrobe, how many multiples of each item will you actually need to get? Does it depend on how often you plan to do laundry? Or how often you plan to replace worn out items.
    When I was younger, I spent a year studying abroad where I was forced to do this, and because I was limited to 2 suitcases and a carry on, I needed to bring only the essentials for the entire 11 months I was there. Even then, I had to buy some sweaters, shirts, pants and shoes when I was there, and at the end of the year, most of the clothes I brought over were completely trashed since I had to wear them far more often then I would have in a usual rotation.

With the sneakers I limited my collection to a few of my favorite styles to wear (Jordan 1s, 11s and 3s) and get those in a bunch of colors and get more whenever some that I like come out. I only match accessories to the shoes really so shirts pants and outerwear is all simple basics.

  • @LostChildOfTime
    @LostChildOfTime 3 года назад

    Only thing I will say is if you decide to go for a suit, I vote against going with black. Black in men's suiting is the most formal color and it lacks versatility. It is difficult to dress it down because it's mostly used for funerals, dinner events, formal evening events, and not to just throw on where it'll fade over time and lose it's luster faster than the other colors because it's black. It's difficult for black suits to also give off visual interest through a pattern or texture that colored suits can do. Celebrities show up on the red carpet in black suits to simply be edgy and unique, and though that's made them popular, it doesn't suit (pun intended) a capsule wardrobe. Definitely navy or charcoal or gray or muted shades of blue, brown or even green in suiting would be best for a capsule wardrobe. If you really like black, save it for more casual pieces.

    @stevegorkowski3246 3 года назад

    Great video for beginners but avoid black on black, white on white. The other mistake is poor fit. I am thinner and adjust my fit by tailoring them to fit. If you look around you can find someone to do basic tailoring cheap. Another one is keep your clothing not just clean but looking clean. Yellow collar on a white shirt looks bad. Rub Fel-Naptha over the wet collar and put in a plastic bag over night and then wash. If that don't fix the collar I go to a option that is harder on the fabric. I add borax and broken up dish washer pod with your standard soap. Dingy whites add bluing to the wash. Just using an iron on clothing really helps your look. I worked in a suit and tie for years doing networking and repairing computers and looking good was always hard. If you can move out of basic colors and into patterns you like, your clothing will reflect you personally.

    We would love to hear an update on your closet purge. It's always funny when a girlfriend or girl-friend scoffs at something we still own. It's really hard for us to do it back. Since men only care about what you shouldn't wear in public. Not what you shouldn't own. But now there is a developing trend of girls that wear dirty beat up white shoes. [Custom] Vintage J's that look like Jordan played in them become a thing this year but that's different. Dirty converse that your too lazy to clean just makes me think the girl is broke. Men are told the first thing women look at is your shoes and now they don't care about there own? Make this make sense.

    I swear I made a comment on this channel about the same topic like 4 days ago, lmao. But thus far, I've just been working with what I have. I should really commit and buy more "foundational pieces." So, 200 dollar boots in South Florida, or literally anything else? hmm, tough decisions.

    Courtney, what about shorts for those of us guys who live in warm climates? Summers in Vegas are way too hot for pants.
