New year, new year — fashion-wise
There is something about the turn of the calendar year that makes us crave some change especially when it comes to our appearance. Is it time for a change?
1 CULL WHAT YOU HAVEN’T WORN IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS
The best way to start building your new wardrobe is to cull what you haven’t worn or even looked at in the past few months. Clothing shouldn’t be held on to if you are not selecting it out of your wardrobe. It either means A) It doesn’t fit right B) You don’t feel great in it or C) It is a special occasion or sentimental item.
2 SHOP YOUR STAPLES
Make sure you are stocked with items such as t-shirts, camisoles, basic pants, jeans and dresses that flatter you. As long as they are a luxe fabric with a tailored finish, these items stand the test of time and allow you to add trends each season with your accessories.
3 INVEST IN AT LEAST 2 QUALITY PIECES FOR THE YEAR
Now you have taken stock of what you already have, it’s time to buy two stunning “OMG I love it!” items. This would usually be a gorgeous designer handbag a beautiful jacket or a fierce pair of shoes.
4 KEEP A TIDY WARDROBE WORK SPACE
Most wardrobes are bit like a bomb hit them, with items all over the shop and everything crammed in. What happens then is you tend to wear only certain things because you can’t see them clearly or you get lazy and just grab what you know works best.
5 HAVE A STYLE MUSE
Find inspiration in other peoples’ style, especially if you find it a little difficult to team things together. Pick someone’s style you admire and what it is you like about them and then build your own wardrobe around that look. It doesn’t have to be a celebrity or profile personality. It can be someone you know who you look at from afar.
