Choose 9 items. Wear them for 9 days. Discover how much your wardrobe can really do.
If you’ve been part of a wool& challenge before, you know we love challenging the assumption that more clothes automatically make life easier. The truth? A thoughtfully chosen wardrobe can do more with less.
That’s why we’re bringing back one of our community favorites: the 9x9 Capsule Wardrobe Challenge.
This short, approachable challenge is designed to help you slow down, simplify, and get creative with what you already own. It’s perfect for seasoned wool& challenge participants and anyone curious about trying their first capsule-style wardrobe, even if they haven't yet tried their first wool& item.
WHAT IS THE 9X9 CAPSULE WARDROBE CHALLENGE?
The concept is simple:
Choose any 9 items from your wardrobe and wear only these 9 pieces for 9 days.
By limiting your options, you create space for creativity, intention, and a better understanding of what truly works for your real life. Many participants are surprised by how freeing (and fun) this challenge can be.
At wool&, we believe that learning to do more with less helps us focus on what really matters. This challenge is an invitation to rethink your wardrobe, your habits, and the idea that comfort and style can’t coexist.
WHY JOIN THE 9X9 CHALLENGE?
Simplify without sacrificing style
Reduce decision fatigue while discovering just how versatile a small wardrobe can be.
Get creative with what you already own
You may find new outfit combinations you’d never have tried otherwise.
Dress with intention
A minimal wardrobe often leads to more purposeful choices and fewer “nothing to wear” moments.
Learn what truly earns its place
After nine days, it becomes clearer which pieces support your lifestyle and which ones don’t.
