When it comes to fashion, you might feel like things are changing faster than you can keep up. That’s why it’s such a good idea to create a wardrobe that will help you keep up with these trends. A base wardrobe allows you to keep up by acquiring smaller items each season, such as handbags or scarves.
Prioritize Quality
You have likely heard it is best to have a few pieces that are good quality than a huge wardrobe made up of cheaper items. This ensures you can dress thoughtfully. It might sound boring to have fewer pieces in your wardrobe, but they will be of better quality. Plus, if you find something that fits you perfectly, you could consider purchasing it in bulk, as well as multiple colors or styles. It’s wasteful to keep or buy clothing that doesn’t fit you that well. If it’s a little too large or doesn’t hang quite right, you could have it altered. If it’s too small, don’t keep it in the hopes that it might fit someday since this can make you feel negatively about your body. Purchasing quality pieces can add up, but one way of affording good alterations and clothing is to take out a personal loan from a private lender. Good clothing is an investment in yourself, especially if you need it for work.
Only Wear the Things You Love
It’s tempting to purchase something because everyone else is wearing it but be honest about whether it makes you feel good about yourself. Clothing should also fit your lifestyle. If you are someone who loves dressing comfortably then investing in the latest restrictive blouse or sky-high pair of heels does not make much sense. Just because heels and dresses are classy doesn’t mean they fit the lifestyle of someone who is constantly running here and there. The good news is that no matter your lifestyle, there are pieces that can complement it and make you feel your best. Wear the things that you enjoy and that make you feel great. Of course, it’s a good idea to ensure that everything is cohesive so you can mix and match more often. Try limiting yourself to just two styles since this will help everything mesh better.
Choosing Colors
Of course, it is your style, but there are a few key wardrobe items you may want to consider. For instance, perhaps you want to have a basic dress, tees in neutral colors, and jeans that you can then dress up. You might want to have something to wear in the evening, a dressy item, and something casual. Even if you don’t have a lot to fill in the gaps, this will get you started.
Updating with the Season
This is the fun part of your wardrobe since you get to choose whatever you like that is in style. Getting a statement bag or pair of shoes can bring your current wardrobe up a bit. For example, you might choose a piece in the season’s color. Or you may go with a statement leather jacket or sandals. Each of these allows you to have some fun with your fits so you don’t grow bored with your basic wardrobe.
