Minimalist Wardrobe Guide
Minimalist Wardrobe Guide
The Formula Breakdown
The Foundation
The quiet anchors of your wardrobe. These pieces work with almost everything and carry the least decision weight.
Capsule Items
Slightly more specific than foundation, these reflect your lifestyle and how you actually move through your week.
Personality Basics
Where your wardrobe starts to feel like yours. These are the pieces that carry your personality and the ones you reach for instinctively.
Dopamine Pieces
The statements. The pieces that make you feel something. Kept intentional so they always feel like a joy to wear.
The Daily Outfit Formula
① Start with Foundation or Capsule Piece
Pick your anchor piece and adds the practical element that fits your day.
② Add a Personality Basic
This is what makes the outfit feel like you, not just functional.
③Choose a Dopamine Piece
When you want to feel something extra.

Frequently asked questions
Most capsule guides give you a list. This one gives you a framework. The four-tier system accounts for personality, lifestyle, and the psychology of dressing, not just neutrals.
No, the PDF works as a standalone guide. The Canva template is included in the instant email you receive so you can personalise your wardrobe plan digitally, but it's completely optional.
The formulas and tips work across aesthetics because they're built on proportion, colour, and psychology, not on a specific look. If you have any specific requests please flick me an email and I'll see how I can cater it to you.
The guide is less about removing clothes and more about understanding why certain pieces do or don't feel right. Even an already edited wardrobe benefits from the framework.
Immediately. The PDF and Canva template link are sent to your inbox the moment you complete your purchase.
It depends which one. The Declutter Guide and the Intentional Shopping Reset both include an overview of the four-tier framework, enough to understand the concept and apply it. This guide is the complete breakdown: more depth on each tier, the outfit formulas, and the editable Canva template to build your own plan.
If the overview in your existing guide has been enough, you probably don't need this too. If you want to go deeper into the method itself, this is where to do that.
