As parents, we are always looking for ways to save some precious time. However, when it comes to dressing a toddler, getting them ready in time can be a struggle especially when they start to voice their own ideas regarding their clothing options. Enter the capsule wardrobe—the ultimate time-saving solution.
Transitioning your toddler's closet into a capsule wardrobe means less fuss and easier selecting outfits. It's about curating a collection of versatile garments that effortlessly mix and match. It can also greatly cut down your laundry load. With reduced options available there will also be less for your toddler to disagree on, as everything in a capsule wardrobe will conveniently coordinate.
So read on if you want to know where to start to create the ideal capsule wardrobe for your little one.
Evaluate current clothing
Sort through your toddler's clothing and evaluate what you already have. Remove any clothing that your toddler has outgrown, and organise any clothing that is still usable.
Consider the style and colours of the existing clothing. Make a plan so you can choose new items that match and complement what you already have.
Start with the essentials
Make sure you have a good selection of essential items to build outfits. Then choose comfortable basics in neutral colours including, t-shirts, cosy leggings, and matching socks.
Then choose good quality items such as snuggly jumpers, cardigans, and versatile dresses that will effortlessly pair with the basics you already have. These essentials form the foundation of your toddler's wardrobe, effortlessly creating numerous outfit possibilities. Renting your capsule wardrobe means you have access to a huge selection of beautiful clothes that you can mix and match and when you need seasonal items like coats or shorts, renting it also a good solution!
To make the capsule wardrobe more appealing to your toddler, base items around their favourite colour and include fabrics with fun details.
Mix, match, done!
With fewer items but endless combinations, mornings become stress-free. Pair a few tops with different bottoms or layer them up for new looks.
During winter try dresses over leggings or layer short-sleeve tees over long-sleeve tees to create different looks that are warm and cosy. During summer the same concept will work with leggings being swapped for shorts and dresses worn with a light cardigan.
This simplicity streamlines the decision-making process, making getting your toddler dressed simple and quick.
Engage independent toddlers
If you have an independent toddler, a capsule wardrobe is the ideal solution to keeping them happy. As all the clothes will match you can let your toddler pick out their own outfits knowing they will be well-dressed and warm. You can even let them pick some outfits to rent from the website.
Laundry made easy
A capsule wardrobe isn’t just about the clothes, it extends to saving time on laundry and an overall decluttered lifestyle.
With fewer items in rotation, laundry becomes more manageable. Say goodbye to endless sorting and multiple loads to wash. A streamlined wardrobe means less time spent on washing, folding, and putting away clothes.
Focus on quality time
By cutting down on clothing chaos, you reclaim precious moments with your toddler. Less time is spent fussing over outfit choices or worrying about needing to wash specific items. This means you can spend more time in the morning with your toddler before starting the day.
Crafting your toddler’s capsule wardrobe
- Evaluate current clothing: Assess what your toddler loves and wears often. Keep versatile favourites, and donate bought items or return rented clothes that no longer fit or are rarely worn.
- Select versatile pieces: Opt for durable, comfortable basics that easily mix and match.
- Make swapping easy: Renting means easy swaps as your toddler grows or the weather changes
- Organised storage: Neatly organise the capsule wardrobe for quick access and easy visibility.
Streamlining your toddler's closet with a capsule wardrobe simplifies dressing and laundry, giving you more time to bond with your growing child. Embrace the simplicity and watch as your mornings become smoother and your days more relaxed.
