[Anonymous No.9994579]

This is my current wardrobe, minus accessories.
I'm trying to make it more capsule-y and would love tips. What do I need? Should I purge anything? I love the concept of a cohesive capsule wardrobe but I always find myself with outliers and I'm not sure what to do with them... Keep them for that special occasion? Sell them and buy something that fits into the capsule better?
Theres also a wine innocent world sailor dress but I left it off because I'm at a complete loss of how to coord it

I feel like the idea of capsule wardrobe is ideal but not really realistic since you're not going to like things that always match other things. Unless you're buying something that matches literally nothing else you've ever liked, it's really hard to stick with a certain combination of colors. Maybe it's just me, though.
I adore your wardrobe. So simple and cute. I'd make a capsule but I'm so lazy.

I think if you like multiple styles,try to create mini-capsules within your wardrobe. The left side of your collage is a good example of that, but I feel like you're struggling more with the right-hand side of your wardrobe as that is the less cohesive part of it. With the IW sailor dress - if it has brass or gold buttons, then the tan or some of the gold items might go well with it and you would only be looking for the right legwear and headwear as opposed to another pair of shoes, another bag etc.

Oh man, capsule wardrobes are totally my jam so prepare for a ramble. First of all, yes, capsule wardrobe principles are super great for building a small lolita wardrobe. These are my thoughts on building a good lolita capsule (and I’m second the Fyeahlolita post as being a fabulous starting point).

1. Every item should go with at least two other items (i.e. for each skirt you have at least two blouses that match, two pairs of shoes etc. and each cardigan should go with at least two main pieces)
2. You need to have some statement pieces otherwise your wardrobe will feel repetitive and boring. In the pic attached the apron, bustier and capelet are those pieces. They add a lot to coordinates without being too big/expensive and though they’re very distinctive in style they still match with most items. Similarly the green floral piece also gives this wardrobe a bit more dimension than if it had been another primarily cream/brown piece.
3. It’s easier and cheaper (and takes less storage space) to have lots of different accessories (especially legwear and headwear) to change up a look than it is to have lots of dresses.
4. Don’t neglect the shoes and bags, with how the style is these days you can’t really do what Fyeahlolita suggests and just have one of each that matches everything.
5. Try not to double up except in neutral or dominant colours. If you’re a sweet lolita, by all means have three different white blouses and if your wardrobe has a lot of pink accents having four different pink outerwear options can worthwhile. But in the example wardrobe attached it would not be very useful to add lots of green things to match the JSK, or wine things to match the skirt. In fact I didn’t do it at all!
(having made point 5 though, it’s sometimes tricky to balance between it and point three. You needs interesting, but still useful…)

Capsules are life. Totally do it! I ended up with a black x berry print capsule in my wardrobe entirely by accident, lol.

>>9997186
You're so welcome, I love doing this stuff. If you want to tell me a bit more about exactly what style/colours/prints you're into I can do up an example capsule for you if you'd like (though I have some looong thoughts coming in my next post here about the specific things I'd have in a small wardrobe, prepare yourself).

As for the statement pieces it could be things like a dramatic hat or bonnet (think Triple Fortune style) or some kind of not entirely practical outer layer like in that earlier example. In my own wardrobe it's fawn fur, I have waaaay too many fawn fur items...they aren't necessary but they do add an interesting touch when used. It's just items that can't be used all the time/aren't as versatile but can really elevate outfits. I know that's vague but I hope it helps a bit.

Not sure of the apron name, sorry, but it's from Innocent World.

As promised (threatened?), more thoughts for you >>9997186
. Also, if anyone wants to debate my opinions I am so down for that! So in your case, let’s say you want to have a 10 main piece wardrobe (you said under fifteen but ten’s just an easier number to work with). As a rough guide, I’d suggest the following selection of pieces. This is assuming you live in a moderate temperature area, so you don’t need to keep things really lightweight or very layered.


Main pieces
1 fancy/unique main piece (probably an OP but maybe a JSK)
4 JSKs
2 OPs
3 skirts

With a limited number of pieces, unless you are going for a very distinctive aesthetic, it’s best to vary the materials and cuts of your pieces. Have a mix of solids, prints, and patterned pieces. Try to have more than just plain cotton/cotton-blend materials; chiffon, velvet, jacquard, satin all look very different and if you vary the fabrics, you could have a monochrome wardrobe that still looks diverse. Go for different cuts if you can as well; different bodice shapes and heights as well as different skirt types (bustled, tiered, plain).

Post 2 of ??

Tops

1 statement blouse or bolero (try for an very unusual colour/cut, or a pattern that’s more uncommon than horizontal stripes)
4 long sleeved blouses or cutsews, 2 in the neutral colours of your wardrobe and 2 to add variety
4 short sleeved blouses or cutsews, same distribution
3 long sleeve boleros or cardigans, 1 neutral, 2 not
3 short sleeve boleros or cardigans, ditto
2 heavier coats/jackets, both neutral

When I’m talking neutrals, it generally means white for sweet, ivory for classic and black for gothic. In addition, your wardrobe will generally have as second neutral colour depending on your chosen main pieces. These secondary neutrals are often pink for sweet, brown for classic and I guess white or red for gothic? I don’t gothic very well… Like with the main pieces, go for a variety here as well. Sleeve length is the one I’ve mentioned because it’s the most obvious, but things like different collar shapes, materials, and even patterns or prints can play in here. Having even a single printed cutsew can really open you up to different vibes, and there’s a big difference between a chiffon blouse and a cotton one.

Headwear
2 pieces of large headwear (headbows, hats, headdresses, veils, berets) to match each main piece (this does not necessarily mean twenty! If you’re cohesive this will be more like ten items)
A similar amount of smaller headwear items (small flower or bow clips), especially in the more unique colours of the wardrobe.

The reason I mention the smaller pieces is because they are incredibly useful at bringing in cohesiveness and also filling gaps. With how big and busy lolita skirts are there needs to be balance up top, and I’ve come to find that just wearing a single large pieces up there sometimes just doesn’t cut it! These pieces are also super easy to buy cheaply or make yourself, so I think it’s kind of silly to not have them.

[Anonymous No.9997806]

Post 3 of 4

Legwear

3 pairs of tights; a lace neutral, a solid neutral and a patterned pair.
2-3 pairs of ankle socks; one in each of your main neutral colours
2 pairs of lolita-specific OTKS to match each main piece (again, approximately 10)
3+ pairs of shoes; a flat, a heel and a boot minimum

Honestly, I love legwear. Socks and stockings are my thing, as are shoes, and it pains me to recommend having so few of these. I really couldn’t trim my shoes collection down much more, and I have 20+ lolita pairs. But I’m trying to be moderate in my suggestions here!

Accessories

4-5 pairs of wristcuffs in the neutral and dominant colours of the wardrobe
A full set of jewellery (necklace, earrings, bracelets, rings) in neutral colours
4-5 statement pieces

Accessories is very much a personal choice kind of area. Me, I’m minimal – on top of my everyday bracelets and wedding and engagement rings, I’ll do wristcuffs and maybe a necklace. An added bracelet if I’m feeling OTT, maybe a brooch. I’ll only coordinate earrings if I’m feeling really fancy! But some people really pile it on and it looks great. So this area is very much a bare bones suggestion, and I know some people will look at this and hardly call it a wardrobe’s worth of accessories at all!

Of course, for all the small items (headwear, legwear, other accessories and jewellery, and yes, shoes to an extent) I’m always an advocate of having more rather than less and what I suggest above is a minimum amount rather than a maximum. They’re cheaper and easier to come by (or make yourself, in some cases) than the actual clothing items, and really change up a look quite a lot.

[Anonymous No.9997811]

>>9997806
Post 4 of 4 (sorry everyone)
Other

2-3 bags
2 petticoats in different volumes
2-3 pairs of bloomers, depending on frequency of wearing lolita (optional)
1-2 miscellaneous statement pieces (also optional, but thinks things like capelets, very dramatic shoes, corsets/bustiers, overdresses, OTT headwear)

So that’s my thoughts of what actual items you could have if you wanted to have a smallish lolita wardrobe that’s still very versatile. To me though, ten main pieces is going beyond “capsule” to just “smallish” (I wouldn’t even call it small). I’d call up to perhaps 7 main pieces a capsule, but really more the 3-5 range. Because after that point you start bringing in more and more different colours and such so it’s not a true capsule in the manner of everything matching everything.

I would probably up the number of blouses/cutsews by 2 and decrease the amount of outerwear but I am also a blouse hoarder.

My reasoning is that with skirts and JSKs, blouse choice becomes important for your overall variety of look. If you're advocating a variety of cuts of JSK then you are probably going to need different detailing on the blouses for each one - e.g. underbust JSK (front ruffles/bib = good) vs. the standard Atelier Pierrot corset JSK (often best with the round-neck ruffled princess sleeve blouse) vs. round neck/collared JSK (high collar, less front ruffles) vs standard straight neckline with shoulder straps (more versatile, but often paired with the peter pan collar). Obviously some will double up being your 'neutral' blouses for both skirts/JSKs but it'll be tricky to keep variety for a 10-main-piece wardrobe with only 8 blouse options.

Regarding socks/tights - I definitely feel that as a more inexpensive part of the wardrobe you could do things like neutral lace tights can be worn over the top of solid-colour tights in wardrobe colours, which might increase your number of solid tights to 3-4 but increase your coording options further if you are balancing blouse/accessory colour with tights colour and need more "colour" than "neutral".

Thank you so much, anon! I actually don't own any dresses because I get so overwhelmed looking through them. But I prefer the classic look and I guess I would probably end up gravitating towards country when I decide on what dresses to buy. I like VM a lot, though, and IW. MM is gorgeous, but their dresses seem so expensive when I look through Lace Market.

Sorry that I'm not more detailed, anon. But I've read through all your posts and it's given me a lot more to focus in on when I'm searching through different main pieces.

>>9997799

Could you post an example of a smaller piece for say, classic and sweet?

>>9997811
Don't be sorry! These posts were beyond informative and taught me a ton about things I didn't necessarily think about when I was looking into lolita (like different materials and varied collar shapes).

5 main pieces is perfect for what I was wanting (enough to wear to meets every month, and even to cons). When I heard people talking about how they have 40+ main pieces, I started feeling like I would fall into a trap of needing to spend all my money on main pieces and end up SOL when it comes to everything else just to feel like I'm actually getting into the fashion.

[Anonymous No.9997945]

>>9997886
You make a good point on the blouse/outerwear ratio. I'm a hoarder of both lol, but also tend to often wear JSKs without a blouse but with a bolero, so I probably do skew a little heavily towards outerwear.

Also good point with the legwear - I'd forgotten about layering as an option. It's one f those things where I KNOW I have "too many" pairs of socks and tights so when I try to go minimal I possibly go too far!

>>9997887
You're very welcome! So if you like country/classic I'm thinking florals and gingham, is that about right? What colours do you like? I'd be thinking red/wine/pink and brown/cream - is that okay by you? I'll definitely do you up and example capsule this week.

A smaller hair accessory would generally be smaller bow clips, small flower pins, that sort of thing. Pic related is from my wardrobe post two years ago showing some of my bigger clips/flowers and then the small stuff at the bottom. It gives good variety...I also have a crapton of berets and stuff, and like to wear a "big" headwear option then decorate with a couple of smaller bits.

It’s good advice, but rather than throwing out arbitrary numbers, a wardrobe (lolita or capsule or whatever) should be driven by its purpose/what you want to wear it to, modified by things like the weather, practicality, your body type, your preference and skintone.

So for eg, if you live someplace warm, you can rule out velvet dresses immediately. If you want maximum coording options, don’t buy OPs, jsks are more versatile. If you’ll only be attending fancier lolita meets, rule out plainer dresses. If you won’t wear skirts, don’t buy skirts. If you always have issues with bust fit, only buy skirts and invest in a handful of different bustiers/vests to coord with.

Same story with the girls who own 40+ main pieces. Either they’re collectors and their wardrobe is big because it’s driven by the purpose to collect beautiful pieces, or they’re daily lolitas — 10 dresses coorded 3 ways each will give you 30 coords, which is a month. Now you have to repeat all 30 coords 12 times to get a years’ worth of outfits. Or you could simply buy more dresses for more coords.

If you don’t already know whether you like skirts or dresses more, or you’re unsure of your style or what pieces look like on you, just be prepared to buy and sell some items that don’t work, and if the whole wardrobe doesn’t work, sit down and rethink it again, starting with its purpose (you’ll at least have better data on what suits/doesn’t suit your body and your weather after trying a few things on). Don’t make a plan and then die sticking to it, don’t waste your wardrobe space trying to force a piece that doesn’t work.

>>9997945
>I'd be thinking red/wine/pink and brown/cream - is that okay by you?
Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind! I like yellow, too, but I don't see it very often in many coords (besides ivory, which isn't actually yellow).

Thank you for the image, as well. That gives me a better idea of the smaller accessories.

>>9997968
This is also extremely helpful, anon. Thank you. I hadn't really thought about my purpose besides, "I want to be able to attend meets and involve myself in the community, but I don't want a very large wardrobe because I already have several other expensive hobbies." I'm southern and I do dress a bit more traditionally, so classic/country is the style I gravitated towards the most. It gets pretty hot, so I don't know if I would layer legwear very often, and (like you said) velvet would probably only work in the dead of winter when it gets under 60 here.

I definitely needed to read a lot of this before diving into the fandom. I just got a bit excited because I finally have the means to actually indulge myself now.

When we were still on egl, people who didn't wear lolita themselves were posting their lolita fanart all over the place. They sometimes even contributed with translations or scans.

Hey all, I wanted to share a concept capsule wardrobe I'm working on. The idea is brand items that can be worn to the office and then easily converted into a fully lolita outfit for the evening. It's inspired by some of Moitie's new items on wunderwelt fleur, which outright suggest wearing to your day job. It started out with the intent to convert into gothic but some things don't quite fit gothic strictly and reflect my personal style.
I know a lot of girls do something similar with classic. I'm a mostly sweet lolita and don't like classic, but I like gothic and have been wanting to start wearing moitie and other gothic items. My workplace doesn't have a strict dresscode, but it's somewhat conservative (full of old white guys). My outfits are always received well so I think I have a good idea of what works during the day. I want to be able to easily change my outfit at night without putting together a whole new one, just switching out/adding some elements.

The items on the left are ones that I feel can be worn for a toned down office look and right items are the ones to be swapped in later to make it lolita. The toned down office items would be worn mostly with black or other color solid tights, normie boots, no hair accessories, etc. Sometimes for the office the blouse could be a solid sweater with a jsk or skirt, or lolita blouse and cardigan with normie skirt, but I think any combo of these items is office appropriate. Let me know what you think and any suggestions!

I’m working on something similar atm, and I think you’re well on your way with this. Cardigans and sweaters are great for making coords appear more “casual” or office-appropriate, whereas head accessories and printed or lacy socks/tights quickly take a coord into a less normie more alt-fashion direction.

Thanks! I don't wear it daily, at one point I would wear it 2-3 days per week but not anymore.
As I've gotten a better salary I've had more to spend on higher quality work clothing and I wanted to incorporate more burando into my office attire. I probably wouldn't wear it daily but I think I could get back to wearing it more casually more often. As much as I want to wear it more often, creating a new outfit after work is a lot of mental energy and I think being able to transfer items from work to evening will help. I do that already, just not with Lolita, like I'll keep wearing the same tights and shirt but after work switch to an edgier skirt and shoes
Other anon identified the items correctly, I mostly just picked the first black skirts I liked. I have the crown skirt already.

Nayrt but the choker on the top left, necklace at the top right, socks on the bottom right, and the long sleeved OP all have crosses. Maybe the wristcuffs on the bottom left but I can't really tell. But it's still pretty easy to ignore/replace those items

I like Nameless Poem, too, anon.

Moitie has really great pieces with Christian imagery of course; Atelier Boz and several other brands (in fact, most of them...) have several nun-inspired pieces as well.

Even AP has lots of religious-themed dresses (pic-related). Assuming you're wanting more gothic pieces because of Nameless Poem, though.

So yeah, a few notes and issues in case you actually use this capsule as a guide. First of all, some of the pinks (in particular, but also the wines) don’t really match – make sure you get things that do match in real life! I also had trouble finding a yellow piece that would work, everything I could think of was too sweet.

On the items themselves, the short sleeved pink cutsew would probably have best been a wine or a brown short sleeve blouse or cutsew instead (since we have the pink short sleeve bolero as well). Another brown outerwear option, probably a cardigan, would have been very useful. A couple of further options in both legwear and headwear would be good to have as well. Also, the bags I chose weren’t sufficiently neutral (should have subbed the floral one for an ivory one) and I’d underestimated the amount of pink in this wardrobe – a pair of dusty pink shoes would have been really helpful.

In terms of the whole “statement pieces” thing, there are effectively four things. One is the green floral JSK – it adds a new colour while still matching with each of the other colours in the wardrobe (ivory/brown/wine/pink). The other is the plaid skirt/jacket combo. The jacket isn’t the most versatile thing on its own, but worn together those pieces are very bold. Another is the bonnet as it ups the OTT factor when used, but it’s not really an everyday piece. The last statement piece is the matching headband and tights for the Anette JSK. When worn with the main piece you have practically a full set, and though you can use them with other main pieces they are less versatile than other headwear and legwear options.

I mean, it’s not a bad capsule and you can definitely get 5-6 pretty different outfits for each main piece, but just wanted to make those points in case you actually used this as a basis for your lolita wardrobe.

My wardrobe has sort-of organically organised itself into vague capsules just based on the things that I like and tend to buy.
Generally for accessories/jewellery I have found it easiest to have both neutral and specific sets for each theme or colour. This is a representative sample of how I accessorize the cat dresses in my wardrobe (total main item count is 35 dresses/5 skirts) and although it looks like there are a couple of items there that only match one dress, they all match at least one other item in my wardrobe.

>First of all, some of the pinks (in particular, but also the wines) don’t really match
Wanted to jump in here in case anon really does end up using it. I actually own the BtSSB Antique Ribbon shoes in wine, AP logo socks in wine, Annette tights and a 2018 IW burgundy bonnet I'm guessing has the same base fabric as the one pictured. All of the reds match except for the colour of the strawberries on the tights, which are obviously lighter. The shoes and OTKs are pretty much the same colour (socks only a tiny bit lighter), and while the bonnet is a bit darker it's not noticeable when worn since the shadow your skirt casts on your legwear makes them look like they match.

The easiest way is to simply start. Pick out a main piece that you like and build a coord around it, then next time you buy a main piece, try to find one that appeals to you and works with the pieces you have. It takes a while if you're on a budget and does require you to rein yourself in and not throw money at anything that catches your eye, but if your goal is to build a functional wardrobe, this is the best way to do it, at least in my view.

Requesting a wardrobe that is anons' interpretations of the "essence" of old school lolita. This can include famous old school pieces (i.e. Baby's Elizabeth OP, Meta's Velveteen Triple Frill OP) or other pieces that you feel are definitive of the style, like OPs or blouses with detachable sleeves, solid JSKs with torchon lace, etc.

Would really like to see different anons' interpretations of this.
