The idea of a capsule wardrobe is simple: own fewer pieces, but better ones. The challenge? Knowing how many T-shirts, hoodies, and sweaters are “enough.” Here’s the breakdown for a practical, minimalist, and stylish wardrobe.
1. The Ideal Number of T-Shirts
- Everyday basics: 5–7 tees
- Workout tees: 2–4
- Seasonal/special prints: 2–3
Total recommended: 10–14 T-shirts
2. Hoodies
Hoodies get more wear but also require proper rotation.
- Lightweight hoodies: 1–2
- Midweight everyday hoodies: 2–3
- Premium or fashion hoodies: 1–2
Total recommended: 4–7 hoodies
3. Sweatshirts
Sweatshirts are versatile for layering.
- Casual crewneck: 2–3
- Oversized or graphic: 1–2
4. Sweaters
- Light knit: 1–2
- Midweight: 1–2
- Holiday/Ugly Sweater: 1
5. How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe
Choose neutral colors
White, black, gray, navy, and beige are the easiest to mix and match.
Pick high-quality fabric
Modal, bamboo, cotton, and French terry last longer and feel better.
Rotate properly
Avoid overwearing your favorites to extend lifespan.
