The beauty of a kids' weekday capsule collection is that when it's well-chosen, almost every combination of outfits works together. Here's a quick capsule wardrobe example you can build from:
From this short list, you can easily create a whole week's worth of outfits:
- Monday: T-shirt, hoodie and joggers
- Tuesday: T-shirt and jeans
- Wednesday: polo and jeans
- Thursday: T-shirt, hoodie and jeans
- Friday: polo and joggers
The school outfit formula is easy: a capsule top, a capsule bottom, and an added top layer when necessary. To mix other clothes into kids' school outfits while keeping things stylish and harmonious, swap out at most one capsule item.
Parents and kids can do other things to make getting out the door a little easier. Let your kid choose a week's worth of outfits, then post it somewhere everyone. Make laying out the next day's fit as natural as brushing teeth before bed.
You can develop other rules to simplify choice, too. Maybe your child always wears their joggers on Fridays, or they always wear their hoodie on days they walk home from school. Just make sure they have a say, too!
No matter how good your capsule wardrobe is, no school day outfit is complete without the right sneakers. To get the most out of your capsule wardrobe, look for versatile kids' sneakers like the Nike Air Force 1. The "Black Patent" colorway is designed for durability, or you can choose a different coordinating color.
Different pairs of shoes can dress an outfit up or down. A multi-colored sneaker makes any outfit a little more casual, while darker boots can add more formality.
