What is a capsule wardrobe and how do I build one?

A small set of pieces that all work together, usually 25 to 40, chosen so that any top goes with any bottom. Build it from what you have: lay everything out, keep the pieces you wore in the last three months, find the gaps (usually a neutral trouser and a good white shirt), and buy only those. A digital closet makes the laying-out step possible without covering the bed.
