How To Create a Wardrobe You Love
Not going to lie — over the past few years, my clothing style has been all over the place. Every year the same story, I have no intention of wearing anything I bought even just a season prior. What was I thinking when I bought that?
It can be hard to build a wardrobe that doesn’t leave us feeling like we have nothing to wear, even when every drawer is filled to the brim. Even more so when we don’t have an established taste. However, once we manage to build a cohesive wardrobe — capsule-based or not — crafting outfits becomes effortless. I’ve found a few strategies that helped me create a wardrobe that I like and keep wearing, year in, year out.
Pick a primary and a secondary style, and shop accordingly
I used to buy any piece of clothing that I liked and could afford to buy. More clothes, more outfits, right? Wrong! I owned some pieces that were cute and girly, some that were very grown-up and lady-like, in a host of colors that I never seemed to be able to match. I had styles that would just not go together. On the other hand, I struggle with picking one style only to stick to. This is a common cause of incohesive wardrobes.
