A capsule wardrobe is a collection of curated and though out items of clothes which can be interchanged with each other. A typical capsule wardrobe has 21 pieces and in today's video I've curated those pieces to give you an idea of how to create your own capsule wardrobe, but of course, with an edge! Below you'll find links to all the items mentioned in the video or similar pieces.

This is the one I have been waiting for Carla! Thank you. By selecting a mixture of basics (tops with different necklines/sleeve lengths, jeans and blazer) and showstopper pieces with different prints, sheens, fabric weights and garment shapes, you created a masterful capsule that no one would get bored with. I loved that you took the time to film the combos with footwear and accessories to demonstrate the capsule's versatility. I am INSPIRED! I am up for all the suggestions you made for further videos on this topic. Wooo!!
Thank you so much Debbie!! I’m so glad you liked it!! Xxx
I've sadly had other people tell me what to wear most of my life, like 33 years of it. If i wore what i wanted i was labelled a devil worshipper because urban/gothic feminine is my style. Now I can finally wear what I want but have no clue how to build a wardrobe so this helped a lot thank you!
Oh a summer one would be so awesome!
this was so wonderful. I cant wait to lose my weight and move away from my large colorful kaftans. So over this look that has taken over the past two decades. I just love this capsule approach . i can start visualizing my future pieces . bless you Carla 😍
Thank you Lee-Anne xx
I’m 28 and feel like I’m just now coming into my own in terms of fashion. It’s sort of a weird time, but I’ve basically worn what I thought was “acceptable” or what my parents didn’t say “no” or “haha” too. So now I’m alternative!
I just bought a TON of shirts, sweaters, pants, belts, purses, boots, sandals and even a dress from Temu. Im so excited forvthe package to come! And this is literally how all the pieces i bought work. They can all be interchanged with each other.
This was perfect for me. I love to straddle the balance between dark/intimidating/alt and clean/minimal/mature. Great tips!
Great video. Love the respectful and considered approach you have to everything. Just wanted to throw in the second hand option. I went from a size 12/14 to 6/8 last year. I sold my entire old wardrobe on Vinted and used the money to buy a new one on Vinted. So much fun. Really good quality items in great condition and you can try out new things etc Highly recommended
I WISH we had vinted in Ireland!!! We only have depop ans it’s a nightmare! I’m so here for second hand/thrift/hand me downs/chairing shop purchases 🖤🖤🖤
black is my color for sure! 🖤
Amazing. I am not a capsule wardrobe kind of person but the sheer number of outfits you made and the different looks was impressive!
Thanks so much Kim ❤️🔥
Half of this being dupes of things I already own 😍 this is what I needed. I hate the usual capsule wardrobe. It’s not for us goths.
Reminds me of how I used to dress before weight gain. Love the way you just own it!
Wow! You've really got an eye for style! I feel so lost in my identity and so disconnected from fashion. Your video has helped though it's given me loads of ideas thank you 😊
Music to my ears, thank you Megan xx
Yes please show us a capsule wardrobe for autumn and winter, maybe even specifc to the holidays like christmas.
I think you’ve nailed it! Been trying to find an alt capsule wardrobe vid for ages and here you are. Thank fudge I found you! Amazing! Thank you!
I feel like this video was made for me lol 🖤
You described my ideal wardrobe/style!
You look amazing in all of the outfits Cara, embrace and celebrate your achievements everyday xx
Loved the bloopers at the end! I’m LOVING these fashion videos. Great mix of everything. It all looked great on you. There’s a lot of versatility in what you showed and the wheels are already spinning of how I can tailor this to what I own. Thanks!
I know this video is a few months old but I keep coming back to it because it was *exactly* what I was looking for. Now that it's getting colder I'd LOVE to see a winter version! Thanks for all you do
I will definitely do one, thank you so much for your feedback. I’m so glad you like it 🖤🖤🖤
Wonderful!!! So much fun. ❤❤❤ Thank you, Carla!
I Love your wardrobe. I am daring and playing with my fashion more after a fundamental personality shift. When you called it a grown up goth 😂 I really liked that!
I don’t have the same items but similar things and will try to combine a little different aspiring your capsule ❤ the leopard flare trousers are so 😱💥🙏 though 😍
Lovely to find some good alternative/ more rock fashion videos that are helpful ❤️🔥thanks!
I have a leopard print top similar to that someone thrifted for me as a joke and I actually love it but couldn’t think how to style it,and I come across this! Yay!
Yeay!! That makes me so happy to hear, leopard print for the win!! 🙌🏼
Loved the video!! Looking forward to you doing all the seasons ❤❤❤
I love capsule wardrobes - and loved seeing the different outfits, on! It was very helpful - thank you!
Perfection, as always! 🖤
Carla, you are so good at what you do. Thank you for another wonderful video. 🖤
Carla, I loved this. I liked how you showed the interchange of items for the life you lead. I’m a 73 yo granny btw but totally related to what you put together, which I could tone down for the life I lead. Thank you. More of the same in a few months please, Mary.
Love this video and your style! My favorite work outfit was a magenta button-down top, black pants and leopard ballet flats. I just thought it was so cool, lol
I would love for you to style me, but alas I live in Hades (Florida in US) and basically live in a tank top and shorts 90% of the year. I am jealous you can wear a jacket at the start of your summer, or even pants- I can’t even do that in winter a lot of the time. 😂
I would love suggestions on knowing what looks good on you. Knowing what colors really work, suit your body type, etc. I’ve seen other videos but they were so complicated.
❤❤
What a fun video! well done! I loved the dress you had on in the video, the sleeves were so feminine. XX
Great video I’d love to see some kind of series for capsule wardrobe outfit ideas! 🖤🖤
Great video Carla 🖤
Such a fun helpful video. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I can imagine this one took an incredible amount of time to put together. I love the capsule wardrobe idea. Especially for travel I always struggle with how to put outfits together when suitcase space is an issue. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Can't wait to build a new wardrobe when I reach my goal weight. 🖤
Wow I’m impressed!
I wear so much black, that the security guards at my workplace, sing the theme to the Addams Family, when I walk by. 😂 I would like to see your different harnesses and how you’d style them with different outfits. ❤
🖤🖤🖤 I must say I am impressed with the effort you put forth in this video. I appreciate that you actually showed examples on you and the combinations + how they’re interchangeable instead of just talking about it! 👏🏼
Daayyyyum Carla serving all the alt lewks 🔥🤘
I'm very much looking forward to building my new dream wardrobe one day. Your content always inspires me to keep moving forward on my journey. Thanks!
This is amazing! I already saw so many capsule wardrobe videos but none with this nice and edgy alternative touch! love it
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Carla for the incredible hard work you have put into this video, i have different shape and style from you but still got a load of useful information and tips from it, you have amazing style and talent, huge congratulations on a wonderful video 💗(Joanne)
Great ideas Carla 🖤🩶🖤
I enjoyed this!...and all your videos❤
Thank you soo much for this video! Would love to see your summer wardrobe as well 😍
Really interesting. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video. I'm not big into fashion, but the basic ideas that you shared have given me some ideas to change my wardrobe so it's easier to mix and match and not have to worry about it. Thank you. A seasonal wardrobe video might be great for those of us that have little fashion sense
Thanks Elaine, I’m so glad you liked it xx
Haha. Love the bloopers 🖤
Great video ! I would love to see how you a capsule wardrobe and other seasons.
this is so helpful! Thank you so much
So glad you like it xx
I love this, thank you so much! But ever since finding out in a warm spring I'm lost... How do we do this not in black?!?
Loved the video, I'm taking advice for the future me 40 kilos to go😂
Love your sense of humour, I can't name 3 Iron Maiden songs😅❤❤❤
I absolutely love this video!! I am alt at heart! I am all about the black and faux leather. You do this style so well! Your explanations and examples are sooo good!! 😍😍 Ughhh.. my heart… i may need to go buy some things… 😂
Question: Could you show at some point how you tie your open/over shirt/blouse with putting the waist belt with it? Like do you tuck that under the belt to hold it? Hope that makes sense ☺️
Upon rewatching.. i see the tied top over the dress is just tied above the belt 😊. Do you have a specific way to tie that top up that doesn’t fall out? If i do things like that i always seem to have to redo the tie somehow. I just havent found a great way to not have to fuss with it periodically
I just realised that I don’t have a style, I just buy things that fit and don’t look too bad! I’m down 44 lbs and I’m so looking forward to being able to experiment with clothes from all of the shops and buy all of the things!! At present, I find it stressful shopping for a bigger figure , size 20/22, with few shops catering for plus size, and if they do, the larger sizes have sold out!
I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe, and this may be the way forward as I loose more weight and not waiting for the end goal, any ideas or tips would be appreciated?
Have a great week, Laura ❤❤❤
This drove it home how I have let myself go for DECADES!!! I even had a little cry. Once upon a time I used to make a daily effort in both clothes & makeup. I refuse to buy clothes because I feel 'dumpy' in anything and then feel worse because I bought it because I had to. I stress when I have to go out and try my best with the few things I feel attractive in. I always look unkept 😔 My summer wardrobe is adequate but I just look and feel so big in winter clothes and am JUST making my way through Australian winter like I do every year so as of today, I have to drop my negative attitude toward myself, plan my clothes, accessories and make-up the night before, put on happy face and be the best me ... I cant believe Ive been in a funk soooooooo long. Thank you Carla. You you truly touch and inspire in ways you may never have thought of 💞
This was really helpful! How could I pull this look off in a wetter climate and/or colder time of year?
I will do an update xx
Nice video. Not sure I agree with the idea that wearing a band T-shirt to their own gig is always a faux pas. I used to think that when I was younger but now I think it depends on the band or the artist. I was at a morrissey gig the other day and literally 90% of the crowd were wearing morrissey or smiths shirts. I wore a morrissey tank top there as well and in the past I would never do that but it felt nice to be a part of something.
I definitely have an alternative style like yours and I call myself a lazy goth, meaning I love the style but I'm often too lazy to do all the makeup and accessories. I do prefer pops of color like teal, acid green and hot pink within the black, so I would sub that in instead of the leopard print. Btw I actually wore a short dress for the first time in public the other day at the hotel cafe when I was there for the Morrissey gig. Still have about 10 pounds to lose but it was nice to be able to do that. Thanks for the video Carla, really enjoy all your fashion content.

I feel this way about fashion, my whole life I have just tried to hide my body, what I want is to be stylish and elegant, with a fabulous chic wardrobe. Oh and heels.......sigh!!!
