Does the phrase ‘capsule wardrobe’ baffle you? If the thought of limiting your fashion to key pieces frightens the socks off you, let Sara Whatley explain what it’s all about
Do you open your wardrobe doors in the morning and feel overwhelmed, but still can’t find anything to wear? It might be time to think about building yourself a capsule wardrobe.
The idea is that it is a simplified wardrobe, sometimes with a cap on the number of items, with interchangeable items of clothing which complement each other. Key pieces create a fuss free and stress free dressing experience.

CLASSIC
CAPSULE
Often a clear out is the start of the process. But even before this, you need to assess what you want from your wardrobe. Be realistic about your lifestyle. Do you work from home or are you in a smart office or clientfacing role? If you are a personal trainer a wardrobe full of tailored trousers and shirts will not serve you well. Equally, if you are out and about networking at schmoozy do’s then you will need more evening dresses than, say, a garden designer.
It might help to pinpoint who your fashion icons are or what style of clothes inspire you. Once you have landed on your style direction and requirements, then it’s time to clear out the clutter. If you haven’t worn it for a year,
Your Capsule Pieces
White t-shirt/logo t-shirt/ cami top White shirt Jeans/tailored trousers/ lounge trousers/leggings Denim skirt or shorts/ pencil skirt A dress suitable for anything/seasonal dresses/ party dress Sweatshirt/knit jumper/
long cardigan Trench/leather biker/puffa jacket/blazer Trainers/black ankle boots/ flat shoes/mid height heels Posh carry all tote/small cross-body bag Belt Pretty scarf (for neck or hair) Hoop earrings/studs
will you ever wear it again? However, if a piece is worth keeping then perhaps box it up instead of chucking.
Although purely subjective, there are key items that most capsule wardrobes benefit from.
Curating a wardrobe like this is actually liberating and sustainable too. As you have less in your wardrobe you can invest in quality pieces rather than fritter money away on fast, throwaway fashion. And as you have a structure to guide you it’s easier to stick to your aesthetic and not have your head turned by the latest fad.
This shouldn’t hamper your style either; if there is a new item you fancy make the purchase and update yourlook; after all a good wardrobe is always a work in progress and worth investing in. l
How to Choose A Dentist
Do you feel comfortable with the dentist?
1This may be a gut-instinct but do you feel they are listening to you and giving you bespoke advice related to your mouth and habits. You only have one set of teeth so be careful who you entrust them to. Remember this should be a relationship for life; if you do not feel comfortable, find someone else.
Choosing a Dentist can be confusing and a bit daunting, so having the right dentist can help calm any fears you have about an impending dental visit
Ask questions
5The most important thing to remember is to ask questions! Make a list of questions to ask before your appointment as you may forget.
Is the practice well established?
2Experience and continuity of care can be very valuable. Will the dentist or hygienist be there next time you have your check-up? It takes time to build a relationship on both sides. They will get to know your mouth, what materials work best in your mouth and how often to review you. Changing dentists regularly can mean you end up with more restorative work undertaken.
It is best if you can get referrals from as many sources as possible
6Ask some of your relatives, colleagues or friends if they can recommend reliable dentists.

Do they have a dental hygienist?
3Healthy gums are as important as healthy teeth. Does the hygienist clean your mouth thoroughly? Do they guide you in what are the best oral hygiene aids for your mouth?
Training and further education
4Look for award winning practices and those committed to continuing education. “I wanted to finally express my appreciation for everything the staff at Oakmead have done for me over the past 20 years. Yes, I was surprised it had been that long”
