Hi everyone it's Justine. I'd like to thank Organic Basics for supporting this
episode in Berlin it's full aka time to get into cosy mode that's when I start
using my favorite blanket on the couch again my book consumption increases my
tea consumption as well it's the pre hibernation phase mostly it
means that it's time for a wardrobe switch
I don't replace everything in my closet though only a few strategically chosen
pieces and that's enough to turn a summer wardrobe into a fall one in
today's video I want to share five tips that helped me do that pragmatically
without a headache and then I will show you a wardrobe checklist or structure
that you are absolutely welcome to copy in use if you'd like to. Point n°1:
the color palette for fall the first big question I think is always which color
palette do I walk this fall? I need to feel something new but I don't know what
here I'm assuming that you already have a certain preference in terms of color
maybe a specific color that you know you really enjoy wearing and suits you well
maybe even a dominant color in you capsule wardrobe already if not that's
okay if you think my wardrobe just has no logics in terms of color and I'm not
sure where it's going go watch this video first that will help you find your
colors and then come back here now for this video I'm assuming that your summer
wardrobe looked a little bit like this you had some whites in some beige maybe
some florals some denim for good measure yellow was the color of this summer so
I'm just gonna assume that you had a couple of yellow garments in there
I'm not putting all the garments you would actually have in your closet that
would be more than this I'm just showing the general feeling of it now the method
consists in replacing just some pieces while keeping the overall color theme
which you know you already like while making your entire capsule feel new it's
not as hard as it sounds first way of doing it if you wore like yellow you can
add a sweater which is yellow but a more intense yellow more chroma it will
go well with the same jeans and the same other garments you used to
combine your light yellow top with but your entire outfit will look and feel
warmer and by this I mean more more fall appropriate that's the first way second
way starting from the same light yellow you go for a color which is close on the
color wheel so that your light yellow and the new color look harmonious when
you wear them together for instance a warm brown mustard sand
camel that kind of thing third way of proceeding you take your
summer color and you add black to it this works for any color really by the
way with one of these three techniques you can keep wearing all the colors you
had in summer you're just really... you're keeping the theme you're just stretching
that yellow into a more fall warmer cozier territory if that makes sense now if
you did want to get completely rid of that yellow and go for a new accent
color for fall you could do that too you would just take out all the pieces that
are yellow or contain some yellow even that floral dress even if yellow is not
the only color there you would replace them by garments that have the new color
if you keep that floral dress thinking yellow it's not the only color you will
find that it doesn't really work with the new colors the new pieces that
you're introducing into your wardrobe for fall and you would end up not
wearing that dress so much anymore so you'd be wasting 1 out of the 33
pieces that you have in your capsule that would be a pity okay that was about
editing your color palette. Tip n°2: adding tights and leggings that's
the easiest trick you keep wearing your summer dresses skirts and shorts just
with tights what I do is that I start with light tights that are close to my skin
tone I even have thinner ones and thicker ones for different temperatures
so I'm flexible towards October I move on to opaque tights there is black but
not only here too you could technically use tights that are in a color slightly
more intense dark or blacker than the summer dress or skirt you're pairing
the tights with just to bring in also here that fall feeling just like we did
with the actual garments. Then in November December when it gets
freezing cold at least where I live I replace the tights by long leggings
because they are thicker and I wear super thick socks in my winter boots I
wouldn't wear tights in winter boots because I get blisters, terrible! I don't
know about you but I know I can't. Tip n°3: layering for the three-piece
season you know in summer you put on a top and a bottom or maybe even one
dress and that's already a full outfit how practical when you're doing a
capsule and you have a limited number of pieces in your wardrobe then comes fall
and you need to put more on so a third piece is adding the flexibility that you
need you know you get rain sun fog and storms within the same day so you can
just put that third layer on take it off put it back on etc it means that you can
still wear your summer clothes just add one layer on top you don't need to
multiply your closet by three and you don't need to replace everything you
already own so a top and a cardigan for instance: you already have the top
you only need to find a cardigan you don't have to turn to chunky winter
knits quite yet you can really get more wear out of the summer clothes that you
already own so let's do that what is a good third piece to look for: for instance
a blazer leather jacket or vegan leather jacket a cardigan that you could
style with the belt to just make it look completely different using the same
piece it's a versatile garment a scarf I will link here and down below my
previous video on how to tie a scarf in 20 different ways very versatile as well or
a poncho or a cape: capes are key items for this fall season if you watched my
video on fashion trends ;-) Tip n°4: focused on fall fabrics and textures you
know there are some fabrics that scream fall because they're just so cozy
and warm and soft to touch but they're still very breathable you know for that
in-between season - that works for fall and for spring by the way so great
fabrics to look for this season are: cotton gabardine it is a thick twill so
woven fabric very tight often used to make trousers and in
tailoring it is warm by default because that's the way it's woven then lyocell
jersey lyocell is a very thin fiber it can be
knitted extremely tightly so it's warm and it's also draping very well but it
still breathe is extremely well - better than cotton. then wool
specifically cashmere and merino wool: wool in general will keep you warmer or
cooler depending on the outside temperature it's a fiber that literally
adapts to the outside temperature cashmere is particularly warm and merino
particularly soft compared to standard wool if you're vegan instead of
wool you will opt for acrylic and modacrylic I've done a separate video
on vegan fashion and materials and then if you need new sports clothes
I would prefer nylon over polyester it is more resistant it holds you tighter so
to speak especially if it's for sports clothes very relevant and it also
lasts longer through washes on top of playing with the materials you can play
with the textures for instance a jacquard made on a machine can still look a bit
like crochet work you see this one is warm but still very airy perfect for an
in-between season. Tweed typical Chanel fabric can come in a dominant color but
with little threads of other colours accent colors or even other completely
other materials like raffia or lurex threads etc and then faux fur that is
usually a knitted basis so it's even very comfortable and stretchy when
you wear it and the hairs are almost always in synthetic fibers it's not as
warm as real fur so it's good already for fall not just for winter it's also a
lot more environmentally friendly than real fur. You can totally put together a
monochromatic look one color throughout but different textures
that's advanced level very elegant! Tip n°5: the footwear switch. no more
naked toes we need closed shoes in fall. here is how I do it I take out all my
shoes I look at the range I sort out all the sandals
and I replace them by boots that are comfortable enough for me to be able to
walk all day in them (imperative) and they will follow me also into winter so these
boots are for six months not just three a good basis to start
with can be one pair of black flat boots (rounded or pointed toe, whatever you
prefer) one pair of brown flat boots one pair of black boots with heels one pair
of brown boots with heels - I'm still looking for that one and I'm happy to
take any suggestion of comfortable brown boots with heels if you don't like/wear brown
I would advise you take the black ones but you could replace brown by the
dominant color in your wardrobe if you find shoes in the machine color, that'd
be great! and then all the rest of of my range... I keep from summer; so that's
loafers ballet flats sneakers etc now taking all these tips into account this
is what your entire capsule wardrobe for fall could look like I plan with 33 (ended up with 34)
pieces that's for tops over tops and bottoms here is what I changed compared
to summer for the tops I have less blouses and more knitted tops and these
knitted tops are more the long-sleeve turtleneck type there are proper winter
tops not just summer airy knits. for the over tops I add one thin cashmere
sweater I keep the same amount of cardigans blazers and jackets as the
previous season for the bottoms I subtract one skirt but I'm adding two
pairs of pants that are in jeans (jeans are separate). I keep one summer dress to
do some layering and I add one into dress with a turtleneck which will
follow me into winter as well. underwear remains exactly the same no difference
in the season. shoes no sandals no stilettos as I just explained I'm
introducing boots and adding one pair of closed-toe flats. accessories I'm
adding one scarf and erasing one necklace three scarves aren't too many
if you want to match them with your outfits or use them as an accent color I
add a coat for when the trench coat won't be warm enough anymore.
and I added loungewear to the template because in winter when I come home I
shower and then I change clothes it really marks for me the cut between
working day and evening off. I often wear leggings and socks when I'm at home my
house is completely shoe-free now, you just don't notice because you see me only until here in my videos...
But if you like my socks and my leggings and also this long-sleeve top here, they all
in GRS-certified recycled nylon, which means that they are more resistant and
when you move in this clothes you really feel the difference. The fabric is also
(and that's special) treated with silver salts, which you might have heard of from
deodorants: it protects against odours, so when you exercise in these clothes, you
will notice that they smell clean for much longer. I don't think you want more
details so I just tell you it's yoga approved, I tried ;-) The brand is called
Organic Basics they work essentially with recycled materials, which is great,
and since they are sponsoring this video, you can get 15% off your order if you use
the code that I put in the video description. In this so-called silver
tech range, which is the one I'm wearing, there are leggings, sport bras, tops and
socks, They also have another range made in organic cotton, also really cool. Feel
free to browse because the discount applies to the entire website, with no
minimum order amount. If you want more info on the topic of capsule wardrobe I
will link my previous videos here in the corner, as well as the video on fall
fashion trends and the one on 20 different ways of tying a scarf... I think
that's it. Thumbs up if you enjoyed this video, thank you very much! And don't
forget to subscribe to this channel before you go watch something else. I
will see you extremely soon in a new video and until
