loopy within your criteria
2 pairs jeans 1 blue 1 grey
1 white shirt
1 black t shirt long sleeves 1 short sleeves
1 grey t shirt long sleeves 1 short sleeves
1 cardigan grey or navy or natural

Personally it would drive me mad to have such a limited wardrobe. I like to dress up sometimes & would need dresses and skirts too. But that would be my basis on which to build a bigger wardrobe.

Congratulations on your weight loss and enjoy your clothes shopping smile

I hate clothes shopping and do have a form of capsule wardrobe although not intentionally. I have one pair of jeans, one pair of smart trousers, one summer skirt. I have one pair of winter shoes, one pair of summer sandals. I have several pairs of jogging bottoms, a handful of tops and a couple of cardigans. And I have two pairs of sketchers. That’s pretty close to capsule I think.

You can never have too many pairs of jeans, tshirts, jumpers or cardis. Not including the ones you may diet into (fat chance) or the “fat day” ones for post Christmas.
Likewise shoes, ankle boots .....grin
Easy?

I think I've eaten myself into a capsule wardrobe. blush I can't get into most of my clothes, and have been think about clearing the lot out and starting again.

Having lost a stone and a half few of my clothes actually fit properly, so......... I need a capsule or basic wardrobe, how few clothes could/can you live with?
I'm very guilty of keeping clothes 'for best' what's 'best'? and for 'just in case' blush
So any idea of how many pairs of jeans/tee shirts/jumpers/cardigans etc etc I actually need?
