5 Steps to Build a Spring Capsule From Your Closet

Start with what you own You likely already have three pairs of jeans, a couple of tees, and a sweater. Treat these as your base and only fill gaps with thrifted staples.

Pick a small color palette Choose three neutrals like white, navy, and tan, plus one accent color that makes you happy. This gives enough combinations without buying everything new.

Add one versatile outer layer A denim jacket or light trench works with almost anything. If you don’t have one, thrift stores always have them.

Buy only one or two spring-specific pieces Add a flowy skirt, a lighter layer, or white sneakers. That is all you need to refresh your wardrobe.

Skip the full overhaul You do not need a whole new wardrobe. Your bank account will thank you.
