Is 30 pieces really enough for a capsule wardrobe?

Yes, 30 pieces is enough for a seasonal capsule wardrobe. Those 30 well-chosen items can create many more outfit combinations than the number suggests, because each piece is selected to coordinate with most of the others rather than standing alone. This count excludes basics like underwear and workout wear, so it's focused entirely on your mix-and-match wardrobe.
