She addresses questions about its applicability to various lifestyles and offers a fresh perspective on creating a versatile and personalised capsule wardrobe.
Key Takeaways: Understanding Capsule Wardrobes:
- A capsule wardrobe comprises core pieces that form the basis of multiple outfits, providing flexibility and style cohesion.
Tailoring Capsules to Your Lifestyle:
- Whether you prefer minimalism or a more diversified wardrobe, a capsule can be adapted to suit your unique style and needs.
Versatility in Numbers:

Building a Core Foundation:
- Sonya suggests starting with around 13 to 14 essential pieces, including outerwear, blazers, shirts, pants, skirts, denim, heels, flats, knitwear, and accessories.

- Sonya directs listeners to her website for a free download, "Signature Work Wardrobe Essentials," providing a detailed guide to building a capsule wardrobe.
Assessing Your Current Wardrobe:

Maximizing Outfit Options:

Avoiding the "Too Much Icing" Dilemma:
- Sonya uses the analogy of a cake to illustrate the importance of having a balanced wardrobe foundation, ensuring you have the right base before adding trendy or statement pieces.
