About this title

Review

I have been looking for a simple guide to help create a capsule wardrobe for some time now. This book hits the nail on the head! It does not only talk about the how-to but also about the why too. It is filled to the brim with examples that add realism and ideas to the step-by-step guide that the book provides, and it makes sure to consider people in many different positions in life. This book has inspired me to start looking over my closet as soon as I have finished this review; I think that says all you need to know about it!

This ebook has a little bit of everything fashion-related. The main topic is about capsule wardrobes - history, benefits, steps/how-tos, shopping tips, travel packing. Also included are some unusual topics such as capsules for kids and for the 50+ years old.
There is also a brief discussion about body types and uniform clothing.
I find their "questions to ask yourself list" truly useful. For example, when packing for a trip, they gave five questions to ask yourself when packing (What do I want to wear on the plane/boat?, Do I have something in case I get cold/hot/it rains?). It is helpful to have a guide like this when doing the actual packing.
I love the topic about transition pieces! Day to night and spring to summer. The weather has been crazy the past seasons, and it is wonderful to have ideas how to re-use clothes I already have from one season to the next.
The practical book on the capsule wardrobe lifestyle!

Capsule Craze by Rebecca Ellington guides readers on a trend that began in London in the 1970s, having been inspired by Susie Faux. The trend was later picked up and popularized by Donna Karan, an American designer who is known for having introduced the concept to the western world. Rebecca Ellington not only explores the history of capsule wardrobes, but also delves into their benefits, structure, and the inspiration behind the concept. She also guides readers on how to shop for clothes that best fit a person's style while avoiding common mistakes made by shoppers, how to correctly pair clothes with body shape, and also what to pack for a trip. From seasons to age, Rebecca Ellington covers the topic of capsule wardrobes wonderfully and comprehensively, which makes her work stand out from other books on the topic.
Informative, eye-opening, and inspiring, Capsule Craze by Rebecca Ellington is a book that is truly enlightening. The advice contained in the book is well-researched and, more importantly, really practical. I found the information in Capsule Craze very useful and I will soon be implementing some of Rebecca Ellington's advice. Anyone who has trouble deciding on what outfit to wear, or who wants to make a statement about their personal style through their dressing while enjoying the perks of capsule wardrobes, should definitely read this book. Capsule Craze by Rebecca Ellington is well-researched and contains invaluable advice. The book is highly recommended to all readers who are curious about capsule wardrobes and want to learn more about how to build one.
