Hi everyone! Here are some apps I find useful: SmartCloset (= the one I showed, great on Android), YourCloset, Stylebook. Some are better on Android phones, others on iPhones, so have a look... See you on Sunday! 🤗
My colors are almost the same different tones, black navy and grey with soft light blue and cranberry. I do have stray pieces that are white. Not sure how that fits in.
You have completely changed my life. I have always been environmentally consious. I don't eat meat and I recycle EVERYTHING but I never realized the harm from my fast fashion habit. You have taught me SO much. I am ashamed to say I previously thought people who cared a lot about fashion were a bit stuck up and pretentious. But now I am starting to build a casual wardrobe with quality pieces that are going to last me a long time. Thank you so much for having this channel. Your message is so important.
This is probably the best tutorial of wardrobe planing I've seen so far! Simple system and clear explanation. I'll try it and let you know. Thank you very much, Justine!
I think you should do a time management video, cause you're so organized; I'm pretty sure you have an amazing way to manage your store and the channel!
Thank you so much for this, I went ahead and switched over my closet to fall/winter this weekend, given cooler weather here in NE US. I established my capsule, and as I suspected, I didn't need a single item, but found about 100 pieces that I DON'T need. I'm letting them "rest" in my guest room for a month in case I decide there is something in there that I truly can't live without, but I"m loving how spacious my closet seems and how EVERY SINGLE ITEM in my closet fits, sparks joy, and works with everything else. I work 3 days a week in the office, so I have a professional capsule and a work from home / casual capsule, each about 30 pieces (I counted suits as one item). All of my work clothes are in neutrals, black, navy, grey, and camel. I'll use my 4 hermes scarves, a dozen or so statement necklaces, and brightly colored bags to give me a pop of color at work. My casual clothes include many shades of purple / violet / berry among the predominant black and grey. I tucked away about 5 pieces of celebration wear at the back of the closet that will get me through the holidays. Again, many thanks, I'm working full-time and going to school full-time, and this exercise has significantly reduced my stress level and made me realize that I've wasted a lof of money on clothes that did not help me.
I'm a hijjabi, only wear maxi skirts and and have a bisarre body shape YET I find you videos super helpful... You are just that kind of person. GIRL!! You amazing!
In my country (Poland) we don't were hiijabi but I think it's great that everybody has different style ;) maxi dresses can be very beautiful especially the ones with flowery print. I also love Justine videos
@@FranciscoSmirsley old human being was (naked) and (unsivilized) . Mary the mother of Jesus wears hijab. All Nuns wear hijab. Do you consider them as not being modern.??????
Your advice is so helpful-thank you! After packing only a carry on and spending a few weeks in Paris and southern France last summer, I became inspired to develop a capsule wardrobe. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom!
I found your channel just yesterday and had been binge watching ever since ☺️ I am so glad that I found you. Your videos are so professional and very easy to understand.Thank you for making such awesome videos:) much love ❤️
This series has been so helpful already. I have decided on my fall/winter color palette: red, black, grey and white. With the list that you provided, I won't go shopping without a plan and return home with "nothing to wear". Merci.
I enjoy your informative videos. As a retired teacher in her mid 70s, I've found my basic neutral colors have stayed the same, but the accent colors have changed due to changing skin tone and white hair.
Your color scheme is similar to mine, except I went a bit deeper: Black, gray, navy blue, emerald green, and burgundy. I'm also open to plum purple if I find something I really like.
Hello from Germany. I'm so happy to have someone who has the same weather conditions as me. I feel like a lot of people who have a capsule wardrobe live in countries where the weather is pretty much the same. Thank you so much for giving me guidance in my plans to make a capsule wardrobe. I love your smile btw. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.
Merci, Justine! Love both the spreadsheet & the app functionality. I buy more clothing online than in shops, so I can check my closet before buying an item, but your method of mapping your wardrobe as a whole makes it much easier to see gaps & surplus.
HI Justine, Great video. I have a lot to work on. So many years I have over bought. Still not having anything to wear. I have gone through my wardrobes and gave away and donated so many pieces. I still need to let go of a few more pieces. I love learning here with you. Your very good at teaching others. Your clear to the point and educational. I always leave feeling I am closer to doing what I have learned here watching you. Thank you Love and hugs from Shirley
This was so helpful! I am a visual person and I've had a hard time wrapping my mind around starting my capsule wardrobe until now! Loved the charts! Thank you!
Why am I only discovering this video and channel now? This has been more helpful than I can imagine especially since I live in France, it's easy to find the articles/designs you mention. Thank you!
I separated all my clothes already, and kept only the pieces I like. As I don't have too much space, I used one suitcase for each season. In few days I will take all my winter clothes out and start spring season with my brand new capsule wardrobe. Thank you, Justine!!! It is so easy to do with all the explanations and tips you give. Huge Thank you.
I'm a bit late in the game but been trying to build a capsule wardrobe since I became a minimalist two years ago. Ive downsized a lot (including clothes), but only now do I have a moe clear sense on how to go about creating a sort of uniform. Thank you. Downloaded SmartCloset started taking pics on my mobile; whilst adhering to number 6. Found out I have a lot of printed pieces, dresses and blues. My journey continues.
You are sooo good in making these videos you know how to keep it simple and still rich with informations! Just moved to Paris for my masters degree and you totally inspire me! Bonne continuation Justine!
By far the best capsule wardrobe series...hands down! So well explained, thought out and demonstrated! Ill say it again-Justine your channel is one of my faves!
i am obsessed with your channel! I am subscribed to many channels but this is the only one i actually hit the ring bell button for! Thanks for sharing!
Justine, Justine, Justine! You truly are a women after my own heart. I love this breakdown. When it comes to my wardrobe I cannot "visually organize" my clothes. This visual aid helps me categorize, de-clutter, reorganize, and guide my purchases; that I may not have in my personal capsule wardrobe. For some one who has science background, I cannot begin to tell you helpful this is. I'm going to rename this video to, "Fashion Science"! :)-
I've been trying for a while to make a capsule wardrobe, but it wasn't until I watched your series that I was finally able to do it. You've explained it all so well and made it seem like fun, too. For for the first time in a long time I feel happy when I open my closet! I've been amazed, too, how practical it is. Several times this past week I was able to get dressed quickly for very different occasions without any stress.
Thank you Justine. For some time I've been battling a "too large" closet and have thought Less must be More. Thank you for putting that thought into the planning of a capsule wardrobe. After watching the four video series, I was so excited and ready to implement ! I started with my work-out clothes and just finished. I now have half as many pieces, but I like the way each piece fits and looks, so I feel completely amazing! And of course, there are still more than enough pieces. I discovered you a few weeks ago, and cannot seem to get enough. In my mid 60's it's been quite a while since I was excited about my wardrobe.
Are you for real? I just found your channel and I'm blown away that you're actually out there. I'm almost 60 years old and was never taught the "details" of fashion. To be guided in detail as you do is literally opening me up to a new place in my life - one that I never thought I might actually become educated about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise so beautifully. I will be watching every video you've made!
Fully agree with not wanting to be put into a box of “perfect or too predictably trendy”. I like to OWN my style. My style is classic, slightly quirky and “business casual”, most times. Most importantly, for me, is the inclusion of humor in my overall style. I like to tell a story with each outfit.
Ah, always a pleasure to watch. You are both calm & calm & logical & full of energy & spark at the same time... what a lovely combination! Thank you from Australia, Justine.🌞
I second that wholeheartedly! Love watching your videos Justine! Sending many good wishes from the UK! I come from Germany originally (but the southern end) but happy to see you seem to enjoy Berlin!
I literally discovered you yesterday and every video of yours seems better than the last one. I feel I'm in fact learning a lot, and believe me I've never cared about fashion or how to properly clean my clothes, just threw them in the whashing machine (and yours is not the only chanel I follow about fashion advice, just others don't motivate me as you've done in such short time!! Yesterday before bed I surprised myself looking in my wardrobe to find out if my clothes are well sewed!!). You are close and kind but incredibly professional and it's a real pleasure to whatch your advices, everything is soooo well explained... so thank you! You've deffinetly earned a new subscriber!
Thank you for this video, Justine, it inspired an overhaul of my wardrobe, reducing it to 55 pieces in the categories you mentioned (for autumn, winter and spring).
You look especially gorgeous in this video. You say you don't like orange, but that lipstick comes off as coral and you look so vibrant. Thanks for the practical tips.
i am not a fashionista by any stretch but this channel makes it approchable, fun, and she makes it make sense!! never thought i would be excited to go shopping again but with this master plan in toe i feel like i will actually know what im doing instead of aimleaaly wondering around drawn by whatever catches my eye. thank you times a million Justine!!
Thank you for not only giving us really good information but attainable suggestions. Your art in breaking down steps to accomplish our goals helps so much. Take care. Kat
I'm getting inspired, Justine, to make needed changes to my clothes! Thank you so much. It's exciting to be getting a vision on what I can do to simplify my life. It'll take awhile to gain a capsule wardrobe, but I will have fun working toward the goal. Again, thank you!
Thank you for this video! I have my wardrobe situation mostly under control but I appreciate having you as a resource to help my mother get rid of the MASSIVE hoard of clothes she's accumulated over the years. She's lost 100+ lbs so I look forward to helping her get organized and feel better about herself and her style. 😀
HimJustine, i'm going back and watching some of your videos for a second time - just to get a little refresher course, haha. But really, it's nice to get a reminder. And I never get tired of seeing and hearing you. xo, SS
I was immediately inspired to start my capsule wardrobe after watching the first episode of this series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and journey with us as well. I am from a tropical country, so I first started by throwing out things in my wardrobe that just did not fit well on me based on your other dressing stylish-ly videos. one box for donations and one box to sell secondhand. A real sense of accomplishment just with that thus far. :) I did the excel method in terms of planning what I should hv in my wardrobe! Thanks for inspiring! LOVE!
Dear Justine!! I don't know how to thank you for your super awesome videos!! They are very useful and informative, the best videos on fashion I've found on RUclips! I've watched some of them more them once and even took notes! :) They are also so much FUN to watch thanks to your amazing personality: you are so nice, intelligent, friendly and respectful, with such an excellent sense of humor, it blows my mind! And obviously, you really are an expert, so your advice is priceless! Thank you so so much again! Merci beaucoup!!
This is probably the best explanation to be closer to minimalist and functional wardrobe. If we plan our consumption through and through, we would never end up with things spontaneously
I'm loving this series! It's so timely for me too, I went through my closet last weekend, removed most of the items and now I'm the girl with two pairs of black pants and nothing else. Good thing I haven't gone shopping yet, these ideas will help me not to buy useless items and more clothes that don't match anything else!
At last a logically approached feasible capsule wardrobe plan for 4 seasons! Being in Canada, reducing a wardrobe to the often suggested 30 items approach has never made sense for me, combine the seasons with a business casual dress for day requirement and it has not seemed achievable for me. I tend to then overshop and have an enormous wardrobe which is time consuming to maintain. I love the charts and along with your many other excellent advice videos I am finding my pallet and narrowing it all down. Thank you very much!
The App reminds me so much of the computer program that Cher uses in Clueless to plan her outfits. 😂 I would do it the other way around: first go through my wardrobe and look what items I wear most and are most compatible with each other. And then find out what new pieces I need to connect everything. I wouldn't beat myself up for having 32 instead of 30 things, those are just guidelines and there are no rules :)
As always, I find your talks informative and inspiring. I'm in the middle of planning my third capsule and really love your idea of using color as the main organizational tool because I like wearing certain color combinations: light blue, white, light grey: dark blue, light blue, white: black, light blue, dark grey. This is the first time I feel that I have a cohesive plan. Merci!
Hi Justine. Thank you for the capsule wardrobe series, I absolutely love it and find it very useful. I'm just sad that you left a part of your planning process without more comment - the one that is contained in the tables consisting colors and types of clothes. I'd love to hear more about what kind of choices you made there. I think it would be very inspiring for me.
Justine, I love your channel. I like that you get straight to the point, and they are short and there’s clarity. Can you do a program for a body shape with a long torso and short legs.
Love the videos, especially the capsule series. Could you provide the apps mentioned? Would love a discussion of your favorite designers, and how you incorporate your style into your home as well. Also, a discussion of sustainable options would be appreciated. Merci!
Thank you! I had no idea there was an app for this! This is by far the clearest, most concise and sensible explanation of a capsule wardrobe I've ever seen!
Brilliant and informative as all ways... have been trying to do a capsule wardrobe for months and failed, your video has just made it so much easier for me to understand... Thank you 💋
You are a joy. I so appreciate your sweet countenance and your helpful, pertinent videos. I have been doing a capsule wardrobe (plus capsule make-up collection/ home decor collection/ nail polish collection etc. - it's addictive- lol) for two years. You gave me some new ideas. Thank you!
Thanks Justine for the fist four season wardrobe. I like the tip of carrying over fifteen pieces into the next season. I'm going to use that tip. Most capsule wardrobes don't deal with seasons very well. I also have a casual wardrobe and need to dress from time to time. Thanks for the chart too.
Bonjour, Merci pour cette excellente vidéo. Il est rare de trouver une vidéo si bien détaillée et méthodique sur RUclips. J'ai regardé beaucoup de tes vidéos, j'ai beaucoup aimé. J'aime ce rapport à la mode qui ne se limite pas à l'acte de consommation. ;)
Justiine!! thank you so much for being on youtube, you have no idea how much your videos have helped me! I dont have a good sense of aesthetic and before I discovered your channel I used to spend 10 minutes in the morning getting stressed out trying to decide what to wear and even after I finally did, the result woud still be terrible, i.e. I'm not satisfied with it and some honest friends even pointed out that I the color combination of my outfit hurt their eyes. After I watched your videos on undertones, I figured out that the problem was that I have a neutral undertone which, aside from never having to worry about picking a color when I buy individual piece of clothes the downside was that when I finally combined them the color clashes for example if I bought a warm utoned bottom from store 1 and cool utoned top from store 2, both of which looked great on me on their own, when combined they just look hideous. So now that I have also watched your videos on capsule wardrobe, I have a capsule wardrobe with separate sections of cool and warm utoned clothes, I only spend like 1 minute in the morning to pick my outfit of the day, I feel good, and my friends don't give complaints anymore! So there you go! Just another proof of how awesome you and your videos are!
I've been following you and from the beginning I felt that you are my friend:). I had a crazy day and I had to work until now(4:00 am in here) and now I think I'm refreshed ;)
Hi Justine! I'd love to see the clothing you end up with, laid out on your bed or floor with tops at the top and bottoms below, layered with your overtops and even some accessories. I'd also love to see which you intend to carry over in to winter and then into spring. Je suis en Canada avec les mêmes saisons qu'il y a en Allemagne. Auf Wiedersehen!
I have this app that you showed at the end of the video and it is awesome! I like to have everything organised and this helps me a lot. I literally took the pictures of all the pieces in my closet, cropped them and uploaded in app and now I have all my closet with me. This also helps to see what is actually my color palet and what pieces I miss!
You are sensible in your advice! I love that. I have been watching you and been trying to clean up and put together a new capsule wardrobe! Keep it up ! You are so interesting!!!
Thank you Justine! I am currently weeding out all the clothes that should not be in my closet!! I am going to work towards a capsule wardrobe and I appreciate all your tips. Looking forward to your next video! :-)
All I can say is that I LOVE YOU 🌹This has become my first-to-check fashion related channel. Thank you for your useful tips and clear explanations. Love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Hi Justine, I love your videos. I feel like I have a new friend. Looking over my wardrobe I realized I have primarily prints on my t ops and blouses. Hmm. This week I followed your advice by pairing a black cami with a beautiful scarf and light grey cardigan. I felt chic! Thank you!
Hi , Justine ...... I love your videos!! Thank you for putting the time into making them , their very helpful .... this is the best way I've ever seen to create a capsule wardrobe, so smart ....... I will be using your ideas .....I can't thank you enough!!!
Hi, Justine, I absolutely loved this video, thanks so much for sharing! Funny and very useful at the same time, that I have same criteria for choosing colours and shapes (I am pear shaped and prefer bolder instead of pastel colours). But this video helped me inmensely to rebuild my warderobe, since due to a recent accident I have gained some weight (awghhh!!) Very funny indeed is that you pronounced "chic" the way Germans do, inspite of your french nationality - while Lagerfeld learnt to say "chic" the french way - haha! Thanks again for your excellent videos! Xoxo!
I love this series! Thank you so much for showing how to do a capsule wardrobe with organization and logic. I got rid of 75% of my wardrobe by following the principles from your previous videos (still need to get rid of more, but I can't replace things fast enough haha ) and have been having difficulty structuring how to decide the appropriate selection of clothes for myself. Your guidance helps to quantify colors, styles and seasons making it so much easier! Do you have a spreadsheet template? Thank you Justine!
can I just say, that your perfect wardrobe is litterally the oposite of my perfect wardrobe in terms of colors and styles haha, and it's so interesting and helpful to know exactly what I don't want. But we both share the same contrast concept you mentioned earlier. Thank you for your knowledge!
Had to watch an entire add for a fast fashion brand before your video... so ironic ! I love your videos, thank you for sharing your insight about fashion, good taste and ethical consuming.
I have started planning my wardrobe because shopping gets overwhelming and I don't want to end up with clothes I regret. What a good idea with the color scheme. Also, I am using the exact app displayed here, I like it the most of what I tried. :)
This is me too! Shopping is overwhelming even without a capsule and I always end up buying pieces that don't match anything else! Let's hope we can have more focus now!
Great content and capsule wardrobe, Justine! But I hope to see you in bright colours too. Maybe like a canary yellow! You looked gorgeous in this video, btw. Love from India.
Ok I'm binge watching your videos now!! Great info! I have to agree about having an app! I love having my closet on my phone! It helps for when I want to impulse buy. I can walk away from clothes that I don't really need.
Merci Justine, j'aime tellement tes vidéos. Elles très claires et très accessibles. Je suis en train de constituer ma garde-robe capsule et je suis tes conseils pas à pas... ♡
Thank you for outlining this on Excel. I can picture the process much better now. Now I just need to figure out how to apply this to Canadian fall, where we sometimes have 3 seasons in one day.
This is a very smart and methodical way of planning any wardrobe, not just a capsule! Thank you for laying out your process. It's very inspiring! I love the use of spreadsheets and the functionality of the app you showed us. Can you share which apps you recommend best? One more question: my undertone is warm and I love wearing brown as a neutral but retail options in brown the last few years has very limited, and like you, I end up in lots of black! And now gray - very deathly colours. Do you have any advice? Or so you see brown coming back? Thank you again!
I'm not sure what kind of brown you're looking for, but perhaps being open to lighter browns with more greens or yellows in them would help? I think a mix of neutrals with some chocolate brown, some olive green, some khaki etc could work well with the right accent colours - bit 70s maybe but it's up to you. If you find grey useful, try warmer greys like taupe as a compromise. If you're shopping online I would suggest also keeping a list of synonyms used by retailers for the kind of brown you like - do you find the right kind under 'hazelnut' or 'espresso' or any other of these creative but unsearchable names that retailers use?
dyingofthatroar Thank you for these suggestions - I don't shop online but I might try that to search accessible retailers and then go try things on in the shop to see how they feel and fit!
Good luck - I love brown too so I feel your pain at the overabundance of black! The only good part is shoes and bags, which come in lots of beautiful browns and IMO look more luxurious than black leather.
llovesall, for someone with a warm complexion, camel is a great neutral. I absolutely love camel, but I have to keep it very limited because of my cool undertones.
A K Agree! I like it too. Usually wear camel or sand on the bottom (Khakis etc) and it pairs nicely with... Dark brown! Ha! I like darker colours on top as I am top-heavy and like the slimming effect up top!!
Thank you SO much! I have loosely tried this method in the past and your explanation gives me new hope that I can accomplish it now! Perfect timing with our weather starting to turn to Fall here in the United States. Blessings to you and MANY thanks... ❤️😁
Merci, Justine!Great video - comes at just the right time. Autumn weather just started in Chicago this week. SO just today I saw that I need to swap out my summer clothes - echh! I'm already cold! In autumn, winter and spring, I wear lots of layers (mostly silk or cotton tanks underneath my tops - I get cold easily. I'm plus-size and my style is like your - casual and bold for events. I'm mixed race so I also wear orange and green. Blue not so much... I'm just srting to add blue jean leggings (Jeggings) into my wardrobe. I rarely wore jeans - they just seemed too common to mea. But now I recognize them as the go-to uniform that they are. My neutrals are gray, black, navy, white, brown. When I worked full time I also used beige as my main neutral. But I banned beige from my closet when I retired! I like hoodies too and I try to wear a neck scarf every single time I walk out the house. Hoody + neck scarf looks horrible, but I need to stay warm... I like your spreadsheet - I've used them throughout my career at work and at home. Plus I like the visual shopping list. When I purge, I take digital photo of 'sentimental' pieces before tossing in my donation basket. I started purging (Sundays) this past Spring - and I feel better!
Love this video, my wardrobe has been a mess lately because I have just way too much clothes that doesn't make that many good outfits when combined. Will definitely try this when reorganising!
Hi everyone! Here are some apps I find useful: SmartCloset (= the one I showed, great on Android), YourCloset, Stylebook. Some are better on Android phones, others on iPhones, so have a look... See you on Sunday! 🤗

+Akanksha Reddy aww... Sweet! Thanks!
Don't be modest-she is right! I've just found You Justine and You are my favourite and only who I listen to carefully. Best wishes.
You can say that again!!!
I just found her channel and I’m totally intrigued
You have completely changed my life. I have always been environmentally consious. I don't eat meat and I recycle EVERYTHING but I never realized the harm from my fast fashion habit. You have taught me SO much. I am ashamed to say I previously thought people who cared a lot about fashion were a bit stuck up and pretentious.

+Ninotchka14 thanks a lot!!
I think you should do a time management video, cause you're so organized; I'm pretty sure you have an amazing way to manage your store and the channel!
That is a great ideal! I totally back you up!
She comes across as a very organised and mature person!
Totally agree with you! it would be great!

I tucked away about 5 pieces of celebration wear at the back of the closet that will get me through the holidays. Again, many thanks, I'm working full-time and going to school full-time, and this exercise has significantly reduced my stress level and made me realize that I've wasted a lof of money on clothes that did not help me.

Isn't it time to throw that hiijabi way and join the modern world?

i am obsessed with your channel! I am subscribed to many channels but this is the only one i actually hit the ring bell button for! Thanks for sharing!
Justine, Justine, Justine! You truly are a women after my own heart. I love this breakdown. When it comes to my wardrobe I cannot "visually organize" my clothes. This visual aid helps me categorize, de-clutter, reorganize, and guide my purchases; that I may not have in my personal capsule wardrobe. For some one who has science background, I cannot begin to tell you helpful this is. I'm going to rename this video to, "Fashion Science"! :)-
I've been trying for a while to make a capsule wardrobe, but it wasn't until I watched your series that I was finally able to do it. You've explained it all so well and made it seem like fun, too. For for the first time in a long time I feel happy when I open my closet! I've been amazed, too, how practical it is. Several times this past week I was able to get dressed quickly for very different occasions without any stress.
Thank you Justine. For some time I've been battling a "too large" closet and have thought Less must be More. Thank you for putting that thought into the planning of a capsule wardrobe. After watching the four video series, I was so excited and ready to implement ! I started with my work-out clothes and just finished. I now have half as many pieces, but I like the way each piece fits and looks, so I feel completely amazing! And of course, there are still more than enough pieces. I discovered you a few weeks ago, and cannot seem to get enough. In my mid 60's it's been quite a while since I was excited about my wardrobe.
Are you for real? I just found your channel and I'm blown away that you're actually out there. I'm almost 60 years old and was never taught the "details" of fashion. To be guided in detail as you do is literally opening me up to a new place in my life - one that I never thought I might actually become educated about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise so beautifully. I will be watching every video you've made!
+Lynette Saine yes, I'm real 😅😉
Fully agree with not wanting to be put into a box of “perfect or too predictably trendy”. I like to OWN my style. My style is classic, slightly quirky and “business casual”, most times. Most importantly, for me, is the inclusion of humor in my overall style. I like to tell a story with each outfit.
Ah, always a pleasure to watch. You are both calm & calm & logical & full of energy & spark at the same time... what a lovely combination!
Thank you from Australia, Justine.🌞
+Jill Jones thanks and happy summer planning...!
I second that wholeheartedly! Love watching your videos Justine! Sending many good wishes from the UK! I come from Germany originally (but the southern end) but happy to see you seem to enjoy Berlin!
I literally discovered you yesterday and every video of yours seems better than the last one. I feel I'm in fact learning a lot, and believe me I've never cared about fashion or how to properly clean my clothes, just threw them in the whashing machine (and yours is not the only chanel I follow about fashion advice, just others don't motivate me as you've done in such short time!! Yesterday before bed I surprised myself looking in my wardrobe to find out if my clothes are well sewed!!). You are close and kind but incredibly professional and it's a real pleasure to whatch your advices, everything is soooo well explained... so thank you! You've deffinetly earned a new subscriber!
Thank you for this video, Justine, it inspired an overhaul of my wardrobe, reducing it to 55 pieces in the categories you mentioned (for autumn, winter and spring).
You look especially gorgeous in this video. You say you don't like orange, but that lipstick comes off as coral and you look so vibrant. Thanks for the practical tips.
I'm looking into if a capsule wardrobe is a good idea for me. Also, love your spontaneous giggles!
i am not a fashionista by any stretch but this channel makes it approchable, fun, and she makes it make sense!! never thought i would be excited to go shopping again but with this master plan in toe i feel like i will actually know what im doing instead of aimleaaly wondering around drawn by whatever catches my eye.
thank you times a million Justine!!
Thank you for not only giving us really good information but attainable suggestions. Your art in breaking down steps to accomplish our goals helps so much. Take care. Kat
+kathy scott thank you kindly 😘
I'm getting inspired, Justine, to make needed changes to my clothes! Thank you so much. It's exciting to be getting a vision on what I can do to simplify my life. It'll take awhile to gain a capsule wardrobe, but I will have fun working toward the goal. Again, thank you!
I love Justine. She has such a lovely voice and quiet way with her, lovely to listen too.
Thank you for this video! I have my wardrobe situation mostly under control but I appreciate having you as a resource to help my mother get rid of the MASSIVE hoard of clothes she's accumulated over the years. She's lost 100+ lbs so I look forward to helping her get organized and feel better about herself and her style. 😀
+alainastuff hehehe your mom must fear you 😉
HimJustine, i'm going back and watching some of your videos for a second time - just to get a little refresher course, haha. But really, it's nice to get a reminder. And I never get tired of seeing and hearing you. xo, SS
Thanks, Justine, this is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm using your method to plan a new work wardrobe!!
I was immediately inspired to start my capsule wardrobe after watching the first episode of this series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and journey with us as well. I am from a tropical country, so I first started by throwing out things in my wardrobe that just did not fit well on me based on your other dressing stylish-ly videos. one box for donations and one box to sell secondhand. A real sense of accomplishment just with that thus far. :) I did the excel method in terms of planning what I should hv in my wardrobe! Thanks for inspiring! LOVE!
Dear Justine!! I don't know how to thank you for your super awesome videos!! They are very useful and informative, the best videos on fashion I've found on RUclips! I've watched some of them more them once and even took notes! :) They are also so much FUN to watch thanks to your amazing personality: you are so nice, intelligent, friendly and respectful, with such an excellent sense of humor, it blows my mind! And obviously, you really are an expert, so your advice is priceless! Thank you so so much again! Merci beaucoup!!
This is probably the best explanation to be closer to minimalist and functional wardrobe. If we plan our consumption through and through, we would never end up with things spontaneously
I'm loving this series! It's so timely for me too, I went through my closet last weekend, removed most of the items and now I'm the girl with two pairs of black pants and nothing else. Good thing I haven't gone shopping yet, these ideas will help me not to buy useless items and more clothes that don't match anything else!
At last a logically approached feasible capsule wardrobe plan for 4 seasons! Being in Canada, reducing a wardrobe to the often suggested 30 items approach has never made sense for me, combine the seasons with a business casual dress for day requirement and it has not seemed achievable for me. I tend to then overshop and have an enormous wardrobe which is time consuming to maintain. I love the charts and along with your many other excellent advice videos I am finding my pallet and narrowing it all down. Thank you very much!
Justine, I love how REAL you are, so natural beauty and genuine- AND SMART!
+Constance Goldwing thanks thanks 😅
I wish I could double like this video. 1st like because of the video with the excel and 2nd like for the apps presented! Two thumbs up! :)
I am absolutely loving your videos, simple and chic. :) Brava, Justine!
The App reminds me so much of the computer program that Cher uses in Clueless to plan her outfits. 😂
I would do it the other way around: first go through my wardrobe and look what items I wear most and are most compatible with each other. And then find out what new pieces I need to connect everything. I wouldn't beat myself up for having 32 instead of 30 things, those are just guidelines and there are no rules :)
Lovely video, extremely helpful, as always!
+Little Mac 🤗😊
Yup, her videos are always so helpful! ❤😂
As always, I find your talks informative and inspiring. I'm in the middle of planning my third capsule and really love your idea of using color as the main organizational tool because I like wearing certain color combinations: light blue, white, light grey: dark blue, light blue, white: black, light blue, dark grey. This is the first time I feel that I have a cohesive plan. Merci!
Hi Justine. Thank you for the capsule wardrobe series, I absolutely love it and find it very useful. I'm just sad that you left a part of your planning process without more comment - the one that is contained in the tables consisting colors and types of clothes. I'd love to hear more about what kind of choices you made there. I think it would be very inspiring for me.
Justine, I love your channel. I like that you get straight to the point, and they are short and there’s clarity. Can you do a program for a body shape with a long torso and short legs.
Love the videos, especially the capsule series. Could you provide the apps mentioned? Would love a discussion of your favorite designers, and how you incorporate your style into your home as well. Also, a discussion of sustainable options would be appreciated. Merci!
Thank you! I had no idea there was an app for this! This is by far the clearest, most concise and sensible explanation of a capsule wardrobe I've ever seen!
Brilliant and informative as all ways... have been trying to do a capsule wardrobe for months and failed, your video has just made it so much easier for me to understand... Thank you 💋
+Carla Dimmock cool! Good luck!!
I have been using stylebook app for several years and it's amazing and it has save me lots of money. I don't shop much anymore. Xoxox....
You are a joy. I so appreciate your sweet countenance and your helpful, pertinent videos. I have been doing a capsule wardrobe (plus capsule make-up collection/ home decor collection/ nail polish collection etc. - it's addictive- lol) for two years. You gave me some new ideas. Thank you!
+Cynthia Brewer glad it's useful! 😊
Thank you for doing this series. It's so helpful and is making having to replace my entire wardrobe feel less overwhelming.
Thanks Justine for the fist four season wardrobe. I like the tip of carrying over fifteen pieces into the next season. I'm going to use that tip. Most capsule wardrobes don't deal with seasons very well. I also have a casual wardrobe and need to dress from time to time. Thanks for the chart too.
Bonjour,
Merci pour cette excellente vidéo. Il est rare de trouver une vidéo si bien détaillée et méthodique sur RUclips. J'ai regardé beaucoup de tes vidéos, j'ai beaucoup aimé. J'aime ce rapport à la mode qui ne se limite pas à l'acte de consommation. ;)
+Radia Belarbi merci! 😊
Justiine!! thank you so much for being on youtube, you have no idea how much your videos have helped me! I dont have a good sense of aesthetic and before I discovered your channel I used to spend 10 minutes in the morning getting stressed out trying to decide what to wear and even after I finally did, the result woud still be terrible, i.e. I'm not satisfied with it and some honest friends even pointed out that I the color combination of my outfit hurt their eyes. After I watched your videos on undertones, I figured out that the problem was that I have a neutral undertone which, aside from never having to worry about picking a color when I buy individual piece of clothes the downside was that when I finally combined them the color clashes for example if I bought a warm utoned bottom from store 1 and cool utoned top from store 2, both of which looked great on me on their own, when combined they just look hideous. So now that I have also watched your videos on capsule wardrobe, I have a capsule wardrobe with separate sections of cool and warm utoned clothes, I only spend like 1 minute in the morning to pick my outfit of the day, I feel good, and my friends don't give complaints anymore! So there you go! Just another proof of how awesome you and your videos are!
+Safira Alya very smart, you solved the problem. Well done 👍
I've been following you and from the beginning I felt that you are my friend:). I had a crazy day and I had to work until now(4:00 am in here) and now I think I'm refreshed ;)
+fateme sadat Tabatabaei thank you! ☀️
Hi Justine! I'd love to see the clothing you end up with, laid out on your bed or floor with tops at the top and bottoms below, layered with your overtops and even some accessories. I'd also love to see which you intend to carry over in to winter and then into spring. Je suis en Canada avec les mêmes saisons qu'il y a en Allemagne. Auf Wiedersehen!
I have this app that you showed at the end of the video and it is awesome! I like to have everything organised and this helps me a lot. I literally took the pictures of all the pieces in my closet, cropped them and uploaded in app and now I have all my closet with me. This also helps to see what is actually my color palet and what pieces I miss!
You are sensible in your advice! I love that. I have been watching you and been trying to clean up and put together a new capsule wardrobe! Keep it up ! You are so interesting!!!
Thank you Justine! I am currently weeding out all the clothes that should not be in my closet!! I am going to work towards a capsule wardrobe and I appreciate all your tips. Looking forward to your next video! :-)
All I can say is that I LOVE YOU 🌹This has become my first-to-check fashion related channel. Thank you for your useful tips and clear explanations. Love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Wonderful Justine! If you use that app, we would love to see your capsule wardrobe in full on it, or another lookbook! Bon!
Hi Justine, I love your videos. I feel like I have a new friend. Looking over my wardrobe I realized I have primarily prints on my t ops and blouses. Hmm. This week I followed your advice by pairing a black cami with a beautiful scarf and light grey cardigan. I felt chic! Thank you!
This video is particularly valuable and helpful. I watch it over and over!
Hi , Justine ...... I love your videos!! Thank you for putting the time into making them , their very helpful .... this is the best way I've ever seen to create a capsule wardrobe, so smart ....... I will be using your ideas .....I can't thank you enough!!!
+Trina Hughes you're welcome 🤗
Seriously, your channel may be the most helpful and informative one I've seen on RUclips. Love you and thank youu
+Deniz Y thanks!!
Hi, Justine, I absolutely loved this video, thanks so much for sharing! Funny and very useful at the same time, that I have same criteria for choosing colours and shapes (I am pear shaped and prefer bolder instead of pastel colours). But this video helped me inmensely to rebuild my warderobe, since due to a recent accident I have gained some weight (awghhh!!) Very funny indeed is that you pronounced "chic" the way Germans do, inspite of your french nationality - while Lagerfeld learnt to say "chic" the french way - haha! Thanks again for your excellent videos! Xoxo!
On of your best videos ever !!! Love the excel spreadsheet and all the details . Thank you !
I love this series! Thank you so much for showing how to do a capsule wardrobe with organization and logic. I got rid of 75% of my wardrobe by following the principles from your previous videos (still need to get rid of more, but I can't replace things fast enough haha ) and have been having difficulty structuring how to decide the appropriate selection of clothes for myself. Your guidance helps to quantify colors, styles and seasons making it so much easier! Do you have a spreadsheet template? Thank you Justine!
Such good info! Thank you! You say so much in a short period of time. It's great and you are the cutest😊
can I just say, that your perfect wardrobe is litterally the oposite of my perfect wardrobe in terms of colors and styles haha, and it's so interesting and helpful to know exactly what I don't want. But we both share the same contrast concept you mentioned earlier. Thank you for your knowledge!
Had to watch an entire add for a fast fashion brand before your video... so ironic !
I love your videos, thank you for sharing your insight about fashion, good taste and ethical consuming.
This is so smart and well-organized. I fear I am far too impulsive of a buyer to follow it! But I can aspire to this level of organization...
You are amazing. All your videos are educational, very informative, succinct, and you are beautiful
Love those woven pants from spring capsule
This is the chick organized friend I've never had. Thank you for the videos.
The best planning video ever! You inspired me in your last video - I thrifted a few new tops and coloured jeans.
She's direct to d point. WOW
I'm always happy when you upload a new video because I know that its an interessting and informative video!
I have started planning my wardrobe because shopping gets overwhelming and I don't want to end up with clothes I regret. What a good idea with the color scheme. Also, I am using the exact app displayed here, I like it the most of what I tried. :)
+Andreea Pescar it is also my favorite app 😊
This is me too! Shopping is overwhelming even without a capsule and I always end up buying pieces that don't match anything else! Let's hope we can have more focus now!
Great content and capsule wardrobe, Justine! But I hope to see you in bright colours too. Maybe like a canary yellow! You looked gorgeous in this video, btw. Love from India.
Ok I'm binge watching your videos now!! Great info! I have to agree about having an app! I love having my closet on my phone! It helps for when I want to impulse buy. I can walk away from clothes that I don't really need.
Oh my goodness! I'm so happy I found all information I needed so badly!!! Thank you so much!!!! From Russia with love 💖
Merci Justine, j'aime tellement tes vidéos. Elles très claires et très accessibles. Je suis en train de constituer ma garde-robe capsule et je suis tes conseils pas à pas... ♡
Thank you for outlining this on Excel. I can picture the process much better now.
Now I just need to figure out how to apply this to Canadian fall, where we sometimes have 3 seasons in one day.
LOL - here in Connecticut, I start the day in a polo shirt and cargo shorts - then have to add a Goretex parka when it starts pouring down rain!
This is a very smart and methodical way of planning any wardrobe, not just a capsule! Thank you for laying out your process. It's very inspiring! I love the use of spreadsheets and the functionality of the app you showed us. Can you share which apps you recommend best? One more question: my undertone is warm and I love wearing brown as a neutral but retail options in brown the last few years has very limited, and like you, I end up in lots of black! And now gray - very deathly colours. Do you have any advice? Or so you see brown coming back? Thank you again!
I'm not sure what kind of brown you're looking for, but perhaps being open to lighter browns with more greens or yellows in them would help? I think a mix of neutrals with some chocolate brown, some olive green, some khaki etc could work well with the right accent colours - bit 70s maybe but it's up to you. If you find grey useful, try warmer greys like taupe as a compromise. If you're shopping online I would suggest also keeping a list of synonyms used by retailers for the kind of brown you like - do you find the right kind under 'hazelnut' or 'espresso' or any other of these creative but unsearchable names that retailers use?
dyingofthatroar Thank you for these suggestions - I don't shop online but I might try that to search accessible retailers and then go try things on in the shop to see how they feel and fit!
Good luck - I love brown too so I feel your pain at the overabundance of black! The only good part is shoes and bags, which come in lots of beautiful browns and IMO look more luxurious than black leather.
llovesall, for someone with a warm complexion, camel is a great neutral. I absolutely love camel, but I have to keep it very limited because of my cool undertones.
A K Agree! I like it too. Usually wear camel or sand on the bottom (Khakis etc) and it pairs nicely with... Dark brown! Ha! I like darker colours on top as I am top-heavy and like the slimming effect up top!!
I so love your videos and enjoy all the wonderful information you share! Always something wonderful to share!
Thank you SO much! I have loosely tried this method in the past and your explanation gives me new hope that I can accomplish it now! Perfect timing with our weather starting to turn to Fall here in the United States. Blessings to you and MANY thanks... ❤️😁
Merci, Justine!Great video - comes at just the right time. Autumn weather just started in Chicago this week. SO just today I saw that I need to swap out my summer clothes - echh! I'm already cold! In autumn, winter and spring, I wear lots of layers (mostly silk or cotton tanks underneath my tops - I get cold easily. I'm plus-size and my style is like your - casual and bold for events. I'm mixed race so I also wear orange and green. Blue not so much... I'm just srting to add blue jean leggings (Jeggings) into my wardrobe. I rarely wore jeans - they just seemed too common to mea. But now I recognize them as the go-to uniform that they are. My neutrals are gray, black, navy, white, brown. When I worked full time I also used beige as my main neutral. But I banned beige from my closet when I retired! I like hoodies too and I try to wear a neck scarf every single time I walk out the house. Hoody + neck scarf looks horrible, but I need to stay warm... I like your spreadsheet - I've used them throughout my career at work and at home. Plus I like the visual shopping list. When I purge, I take digital photo of 'sentimental' pieces before tossing in my donation basket. I started purging (Sundays) this past Spring - and I feel better!
+nuvoclassic you are very reflective of your taste and behavior. Very interesting to read 😊
Love this video, my wardrobe has been a mess lately because I have just way too much clothes that doesn't make that many good outfits when combined. Will definitely try this when reorganising!
SO helpful and you're rocking my planned colors for fall! BONUS!
