Tips On How To Keep Your Wardrobe Stylish
From holding onto old clothes that never get worn to panic buying pieces that won’t have more than one outing, we are all guilty of making less than sensible decisions when it comes to our wardrobe.
A guide to buying less, shopping better and transforming your look in the process :
Versatile Pieces – We’re all guilty of it, buying something for just one occasion. Heading somewhere exciting means we inevitably feel like we need something new to wear. However, more often than not, we purchase an outfit that rarely gets more than one outing. Instead of purchasing something specific for certain events, have pieces in your wardrobe that are more versatile. An outfit accessorised cleverly, it will never feel like the same look.
Proper Fit – Holding onto items that no longer fit in the hope that they will one day again is not uncommon. Be realistic and honest with yourself. If it doesn’t fit you, it’s time to sell or donate it.
Know Your Style – Don’t buy or keep something that doesn’t suit you. Often we’ve bought something on a whim because it’s a big trend. Because we saw someone else wearing it and thought the looked amazing, doesn’t mean it will look the same on yourself. If a piece of clothing doesn’t make you feel confident and comfortable, it has no place in your life.
One-In, One-Out – When you buy something, get rid of something else. A good way to keep your wardrobe at a sensible size. Every time you add something new, take a piece of clothing out. Not only will it keep your rails and shelves from overflowing, it also means you have to be much more confident about what you’re purchasing.
It’s Time For It To Go – Make some tough decisions. To part with a piece of clothing sometimes means letting go of memories, which can be really tough to do. However, there’s no need to hold onto everything you love. If you really can’t bear to part with something, put it on test and see how many times you wear it in the next six months.
Know Your Wardrobe – It sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget what sitting in our wardrobe. So, before you go ahead and buy something new, make sure that you know what is in your wardrobe already.
A Capsule Wardrobe – Don’t underestimate the power of a capsule wardrobe. To be truly stylish does not take a huge budget, you don’t need a lot to look good. What you need to do is make good, sensible decisions. Buy what you need, buy what makes you feel great and hold on to nothing more. And it’s important to look after your clothes.
Although we have all come across some unexpected hurdles regarding our goals for the year, there is no reason why you can’t use this time to get your wardrobe in order.
