Capsule Wardrobes: Autism and Fashion Part 2

Background

Capsule wardrobes were and are still a strong special interest for me. I’ve enjoyed fashion and designing since I was a kid and I always liked the business casual look (though that may have been a way to appear older so people would take me seriously).

Anyway, a few years ago I got really into decluttering, minimalism, sustainable fashion, The KonMari method, and The Home Edit. Of course, capsule wardrobes popped up during that journey. As someone who struggled with sensory sensitivities and never had a language for it growing up, the idea of having a “uniform” and a curated wardrobe with only items that I loved (and were comfortable), greatly intrigued me.

How To

But ow do you do this? Where do you even start?

Step 1

I suggest beginning with the KonMari method. Now, clothing is the first category of five and you can do all five if you like, but clothing is the only one necessary for this.

If you’re not familiar with the KonMari method, here’s a list of steps you can follow:

1. Gather all clothing onto your bed (or in one room). This includes outwear, shoes, etc.
