My 20 piece capsule wardrobe was the best thing I've done for myself. Every piece goes together, they all look put together, and totally makes my days better. I will never go back to a closet full of clothes, and nothing to wear!

A colleague of mine wore the same outfit everyday of his teaching career: a black t-shirt and jeans. At the time, I did not have a good understanding of what this might have meant for him. You have explained very well all the advantages of this approach to getting dressed in the morning. On the day of his retirement after many years of teaching, staff and students wore a black t-shirt and jeans to celebrate his amazing contribution to his school. It was a fitting tribute to someone who was wise in so many ways and who passed on his teachings (as you are doing!). Thank you for another great video!

I had a professor in college years ago who always wore a white button down cotton type shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Everyday for that entire semester and every time I saw him afterward on campus, same outfit. I didn’t understand it back then, but as someone in a high stress job now, picking an outfit is the last thing I want to think about!

When I realized a capsule wardrobe doesn’t require all neutrals and solids, I was in. A few vintage colorful Talbots skirts, some simple solid tops, a few sweaters and pants that fit - I’m practically unstoppable. 😏

When I went into nursing.....the less stress over "what to wear" was tremendous. My uniforms are all one color now. I grab and go. ..........previously I was a secretary. I had no idea how stressful it was coordinating outfits, shoes, jewelry, etc. etc. My nursing uniforms have been a life changer. I get this concept. I cannot imagine working again in the mainstream and having to "dress" for the part. Would be incredibly stressful.

How true

Every time I watch one of your videos I feel a sense of peace and happiness. I love my minimalist life. Never once have I doubted this journey. Thank you, Joshua.

When I started the video, I thought “if you are someone like Steve Jobs, decision fatigue is valid. For anyone else, if deciding what to wear each day fatigues you, I have questions.” Less than nine minutes later, I realize I am only wearing a fraction of my wardrobe regularly and am reminded of my constant desire to simplify my life and possessions in other areas. Thank you for the thought provoking video.

I started doing this sort of by accident ten years ago. I found a plain black shirt that fit well and was made well, then I eventually found that it was my favorite shirt- I would put it on first after every time I did laundry. So I managed to order 80 of them at wholesale pricing from a guy I knew with a printing company. For the past ten years I’ve been wearing this plain black shirt 95% of the time.

I used to work in theater, both on stage and off. A wardrobe of 80% black separates that packed and laundered easily was a given. Besides, black and dark denim hide a lot of stains and abuse. A handful of "wow" pieces or statement accessories for special occasions or performances could transform an outfit in mere seconds. Hint: most people don't notice much about what you wear as long as it's clean, mended, fits you properly and suits the occasion. Today, I work in an upscale business-casual environment, and picked a "uniform" in a limited color palette with an emphasis on dark neutrals that suits my body type, coloring, and typical daily activities, but provides the same versatility to go from "grubby" work to "special occasion" by changing just one piece or adding an accessory. And always, always, always an investment pair of shoes that I would be comfortable wearing for a full-day urban trek but still look smart enough to wear to a special occasion. This wardrobe has served me well for several years on multiple trips and long-term work assignments in varied climates and annual seasons in several countries. My clothing shopping today consists of replacing my tried-and-true pieces when they wear out, or the occasional upgrading of a piece to one that offers more versatility or higher-quality fabric/construction.

I totally agree!

I don't wear the same thing every day but I have a daily uniform. I wear the same thing every Monday, same thing every Tuesday, etc. It makes it so easy to know what to wear and if something is worn out I don't have to worry about replacing it with something that's the same as my other clothes. I have a storage tower and when my laundry comes out of the dryer I put the clothes directly into it's assigned day. Then in the morning I just grab from that drawer. I'm currently working on doing the same for my daughter.

I’m moving in this direction, however I live in the Midwest where the weather can change 30 degrees in the same day. I’m selling a lot of items and working towards losing 20-30lbs so I can start my capsule wardrobe.

After 10 years in the military I appreciated the advantages to having a uniform appearance. It just made my life simpler. Thus, for the next 3 decades I wore khakis, a white or blue button-up shirt, paisley tie, and blue blazer each day to court. Now, in retirement, I pretty much wear the same shirt and shorts daily as well.

I have sensory issues and hate wearing long sleeves or anything too low-cut. Yet I spend hundreds on fashionable fast fashion clothes my fantasy self would wear and never wore them because I wasn't comfortable in them. When I realized I am happy with my black T-shirts and don't need any other kind of tops, it was really freeing.

I buy the best quality (not most expensive) natural fabrics I can find, and take care of them. My Wardrobe is small. Ive never needed my clothes to make a 'Starement' - they're deliberately simple and modest. Works for me. PS - I haven't owned an Iron/Board in decades.

I am surprised that the reason to not draw attention to oneself wasn't mentioned. For several years now, I have chosen to wear the same dress to my church services, so that I do not distract from the messages and draw attention to myself. Obviously, it makes getting dressed easy, but I am hopeful that by doing so, I am not thinking too much about what I am wearing, but rather being more attentive and sensitive to the needs of others around me. We still have people without adequate clothing in society. It breaks my heart, especially given the fact the some people are obsessed with wearing designer pieces, and designers are still obsessed with making their clothing for certain people in society, so much that designers will burn heaps of clothing at the end of a cycle so no one can have their clothing but the elite. On the other end of that, we still are mass producing clothing for Walmart, Old Navy, Target and more. One has to eventually ask themselves, who or what child is making these clothes!? We need to be more thoughtful consumers for eachother, not just ourselves. .

Your comment about designers burning clothes really made me think. I do not want to be a part of that cycle. I am going to look at how I can repeat things/create a uniform, and replace only when things wear out like you said

Josh, based on your earlier video about cutting your wardrobe way down I did the same earlier this year. I live in southern central coastal California so the weather is on the warmer side. I cut out approximately half my wardrobe and placed it in the guest room closet. From there I cut it in half again; one half went to the thrift store, the other half is still there and will likely go to the same thrift store soon. I looked at the way you dressed and decided that was good. So I ended up looking for tee shirt dresses--something I can wear to work at the college--and found these black cotton ones for $20 each at Target. I bought ten. And over the past six or eight months that is all I have worn with a single pair of black shoes. I simplified my hair; while I now have white hair I am letting it grow long and keeping it pulled back with a single white silk band. Make-up disappeared during Covid so getting dressed in the morning means no decisions whatsoever. And I like it! It takes about three minutes with no decisions. For the winter we are heading into I will add a couple pairs of black leggings and maybe three pairs of jeans plus some black tee shirts like yours. I am never bored with what I wear. And I love the freedom of no additional expense and most of all, no decisions because there are none. It is what it is. I almost feel sorry for those who dress differently every day.

I realized this when my job (I’m a nurse and wear scrubs) adopted a policy of only black or white scrubs for nurses. At first I was mad as I’m a pediatric nurse and had all sorts of cute and colorful scrubs. I quickly realized however, that it was much easier to pick what to wear. Now I have edited my normal wardrobe similarly. I don’t much care for black in my personal life so it’s simply jeans and neutral beige/brown tones. Small wardrobe and all goes together.

Decision fatigue. I felt that one. I just retired from a position that I enjoyed, but the massive amounts of decisions that had to be made minute by minute was very taxing and exacerbated by constant interruptions.

Once I moved from Hawaii to the mainland, I bought a minimalist wardrobe consisting of mainly black clothes with a few pops of color. I love the way I look and it gives me one less thing to worry about.

I've switched our whole household to a neutral capsule wardrobe. Everything we wear is either black, gray, denim, khaki/tan, and olive green. It has been life changing! First of all, laundry is a cinch. No sorting (and I know that some people have all colors and don't sort but that would drive me crazy). Secondly, it is much easier on the eyes. Less overstimulating and everything and everyone matches. Third, it reduces decision fatigue. Not just at home getting dressed, but when shopping for new clothes especially for my boys. I can quickly scan the racks and find what I need by sticking to our color scheme. My boys are on board too because it makes it easier for them. They were just as decision fatigued and overstimulated as I was. I am in the process of "neutralizing" stress throughout the house with the same concept (bedding, toys, dishes, etc.). :)

I’m not down to 33 but I am way down from where I was and continuing to pare down as I am inspired by people like you and this sound logic. Thank you for he continued encouragement!

I have decided on a no clothes buy this year. Don't wear the same thing all the time but I could probably get by for 20 years with what I have just now.

I switched to a capsule wardrobe for my work. Wow, what a game changer. It makes the process so much easier 😊

Once I decluttered I get ready so much faster . I only buy once I need something. I can afford more but I love this style of living since 6 years . I slowly have less and less

I love this, I've had a capsule wardrobe for a while now and it's amazingly liberating. I own 4 pairs of jeans, 5 t-shirts and 2 dresses. I wear jeans and a tee every single day (I work from home) and my 2 dresses are for if I have something special to go to. Makes life so much easier.

What A Blessing You Always Are.

33 articles of clothing for months? I've got that beat hands down because I wear 1 of 3 grey t-shirts everyday and have 1 pair of daily jeans and 1 pair of decent jeans for dress-up. I don't know if it's as much of a capsule collection as much as I stopped caring.

I am in high school and having a smaller closet has helped me so much! I wear the same thing everyday and I am confident in it because I love the clothes I am wearing. I wear a tank with a hoodie and jeans. I put clips in my hot and earrings too to make it pop!

I’ve swapped my summer clothes for winter clothes (from the UK) and the minimalistic journey has taught me to get them ready the day before and hang them back up if they are not dirty. If I haven’t worn them at the end of winter off to the charity shop they go. I started minimalistic journey on the 1st of January this year with the Xmas tree and decorations … I intend to be done by the 1st of January 2023. It’s been a cathartic journey but certainly worth the effort x

I did larger capsule wardrobes seasonally for years but I finally tried doing project 333 about 2 years ago. I was able to downsize my year round clothes by 2/3. The remaining 1/3 are ones I love and make me feel great. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and my smaller 33 item capsule really helps me. Less items, less laundry, more living. Currently I’m using 16 clothing items and the rest are my shoes, 1 purse, 1 coat some scarves and jewelry.

Grew up with wearing a uniform so having ready to go outfits for adulthood made sense. My problem is currently, while I've always had this mentality and approach to my wardrobe, my waist size has fluctuated over the past three years after covid and I don't fit into my old wardrobe. I've had to get some new pieces to wear w the stretched items that still fit. I'm not happy at all and working at the gym with snails pace results to improve my self image. I've never felt so self conscious about my look. Not ready to streamline yet. Want the old me back first. #frustrated

I love all things creative and felt having a smaller wardrobe would feel restricted…I was wrong. I am 2/3 of the way rebuilding my capsule wardrobe which is based on the colors I love & some prints but they all coordinate. It’s been fun getting it all to work. I took of photo of my hanging clothes and I use it to help me select new items. Today I need at least one scarf so I will pull up my photo and make sure I purchase something that coordinates with all of the current colors I own. Black, tan, white, blue are my usual basic colors. ❤ It’s quite a relief not feeling stressed about what to wear. I also refer to Pinterest to help me coordinate the items I do own and I feel like I have new outfits when I restyle & coordinate pieces I’ve never worn together. It’s fun 😊

This is the first time I have come across this lifestyle. I am very pleased that someone else has come to the same conclusion I have come to. I would call it wisdom.

Yeah I wear summer stuff all year round with sweaters in the colder seasons.

My wardrobe color palette has always been black, navy blue and gray from tops to jeans to shoes , even accessories - and I have never felt more confident in my fashion style! I no longer have the desire to keep up with trends because I know I would look good and in a classy way. Best parts are: I got to save money as well as always make a statement in the workplace. This is my favorite video on your channel, by far! Thank you very much! Support from the Philippines!

I've been working on the capsule wardrobe the past couple of years. As a clothes-horse, it's been hard! But what's been helping is that I have a color palette I choose when shopping and ONLY purchase things that I know will coordinate with what I already have. Coupled with eliminating clothes that don't work within this scheme, it's been trimmed and coming along nicely. Less clothes and faster getting dressed in the mornings and happy with how I look!

My closet is so tiny that having a large wardrobe isn’t even an option! My house is 100 years old, and my hangers don’t even hang straight because my closet isn’t deep enough!

My uniform is a band t-shirt, comfy trousers, plaid shirt and trainers. LL Bean boots and a rain coat in bad weather. That’s it. Maybe shorts and a cap in summer. I threw out all my dresses, skirts and annoying fashion blouses. I’m much happier now.

I’ve been doing this for decades. I cannot imagine living any other way.

I wear exercise clothes or ... Whatever is lined up next in the closet that is weather appropriate. Eating? Well, I feel best with beef, coffee, water and butter. Talk about streamlined. At old job, I definitely wore same outfit. Had set number of tops and bottoms for days of the week and that's all I wore for two yrs. Loved it.

I do this for the little~orphan~girl I am raising. She wears the same form of clothing to school each day (not a uniform) but in varying prints/colors. I chose the clothing that looks the best on her and feels most comfortable. This absolutely streamlines all the processes of clothing, wearing, washing, storing, dressing. We Love IT ! ! ! I have not done it for myself yet but have wanted to do so for a long long time❣️

Such a strict dress code so this is the perfect area to start to work towards this. My mornings go by smoothly and I always know I am wearing the approved attire without thinking. Fast fashion is a big waste of time, money, and energy.

I have some other colors but I really narrowed things down my go-to outfit almost every day has been a black T-shirt and a pair of shorts or a pair of jeans. I have like about 10 of them so I always have plenty clean in the closet. When I worked corporate USA I used to be so stressed about what to wear everyday because everybody scrutinized what you had on.

I love my capsule wardrobe! While it’s mostly tshirts and shorts, I live in Florida most of the year and work from home, so it’s perfect!

I love hearing about peoples’ uniforms or outfit formulas. I too live in a four seasons unpredictable area. So I adapt to the season and the activity. Formula dressing for the activity adds variety but limits the choices.

Bravo 👏🏻 I’ve been doing the capsule wardrobe about 7-8 years, I’ll never go back. It’s changed over the years from being a stay at home mom to now an empty nester in the workforce again, but it’s so freeing and fun!

After watching this great video, I did some thinking about my wardrobe. I wrote everything down I “needed” and very nicely and organized into categories and sub-categories 😅. I didn’t double count. T-shirts for example counted for 2 different categories. I counted per category and then overall. To be fair I counted shoes, outerwear and undergarments. My total was astounding! I counted 66 separate items! What was astounding was that I was paring down! And even more astounding was that I’d already Decluttered a massive amount of clothes a couple weeks ago. 😳 what’s in my closet?? I obviously need to rethink what I actually need! 😂

This has been a long process for me... I've figured out my fav "uniform" is a dress... its a top and bottom sewn together... I don't have to coordinate outfits... plus a dress costs as much as either a separate top or bottom. On a recent trip I was super careful to bring the bare minimum... and even those things were too much... making me rethink and pair down more.

But I live & work with many people who I realize also do this, my Friend Eric who wore a white dress shirt & black slacks every day. My husband was in the military. He said one of the most frustrating things he had to deal with after retiring was choosing what to wear everyday.

I have only black jeans ... No other color. And I buy packages of Rit dye to recolor my jeans when they start to fade. I've been wearing the same black jeans for years, re dyed several times, they always look good.
