The Curated Closet: Discover Your Personal Style and Build Your Dream Wardrobe Paperback – 23 Feb. 2017

I’m interested in capsule wardrobes and this book was highly recommended by many. It takes you through the process of evaluating your wardrobe and getting a wardrobe that works for you. It doesn’t turn your wardrobe into a capsule wardrobe of a certain number of garments ( thought it will if that’s what you want) but it does take you on a journey to look at building your wardrobe in a different and effective way. I’ve only just started on my journey and already I see a difference in my shopping/wearing habits. It’s not a quick fix as there are exercises to do but it is an excellent book to give you an appropriate wardrobe for your personal needs.

I loved this book. I've been trying for years to put together a capsule wardrobe...in fact it's become a bit of a family joke as my wardrobe seems to expand every time I attempt it. I also feel that I've lost something of my own style in the process. Whilst the French style is chic, dare I say that, I also find it a bit boring. Anyway this book has helped me to rediscover my own sense of style and surprisingly I have many of the right 'ingredients' already in my wardrobe just waiting to be put together differently. I'm also holding off buying the missing 'ingredients' until I find the right ones...I will no longer compromise on quality, fit and comfort. Like with all good formulas, they seem obvious once you've read them, but I think this book will make a huge difference to how I will shop, look and feel from now onwards. And hopefully the capsule wardrobe jokes will end 😁

good purchase bought on the recommendation of somebody else

For someone who hates shopping as much as I do, this book was great. Really opened my eyes to the mistakes I've been making buying clothes - helped me to get rid of all those things I don't really like but was wearing anyway, and to know what to go and look for to fill the gaps. Honestly cannot recommend it enough.

Good read if you're not heard of the concept of sustainability but otherwise nothing groundbreaking and at times too lengthy. If you've got any sense of personal style, it's not of much help.

Love love love this book. If you're in the right frame of mind to want to understand what you buy / wear, and why... and to understand how you may want to change anything, this is the book for you. It won't tell you want to think, but give you the tools to understand what you like / understand your own style. I've used this with the workbooks available online from the author's blog and together these make a great toolkit for revamping (or completely overhauling) your wardrobe. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

It's a book I keep referring to, two years in. It's really helped me identify my style, lifestyle needs and purchasing priorities. It's saved me a lot of money!

Have found this book has helped me review my style and plan my outfits. I have made better purchases that I have worn lots already and integrated with my style favourites. I am now planning my purchases and taking photos of my favourite outfits.
