Wardrobe Capsule is a collection of a few clothing items selectively chosen with the plan of creating many interchangeable outfits. The intention is to keep the number of clothing items purchased to a minimum while also having options.

Vintage Clothing made between 20 - 100 years prior to the current year. The age of the item determines if it is vintage. If an item was iconic in that fashion period, it can be labeled 80’s vintage. If it is a regular clothing item without some sort of defining characteristic of its time period, it is not "80's vintage". Label it as "vintage". Clothing items that are 100 years or older are considered to be antiques. Retro also differs from vintage. Retro clothing is a piece of clothing that was made recently to purposefully imitate a trend that was popular in the past.
