Getting the most from your clothes means putting together a wardrobe that makes choosing effortless. If you’re juggling multiple responsibilities, and every hour of your weekend is crammed with obligations, then the last thing you’ll want to do is spend a stressful hour each morning, wrestling with an untidy wardrobe space.
So, what changes might you make to improve your wardrobe?
Plan Your Core Pieces
An effective wardrobe is often one that’s built around a handful of essential staples. These items should be of a high quality, and they should be easily mixed and matched to create a variety of looks. This, for the most part, means sticking with the classics. A tailored blazer, for example, might complement women’s black dresses. Having a small selection of them to choose from might allow you to focus on the fundamentals, without compromising on variety.
The right pair of plain white pumps, and a white t-shirt, might be suitable for a variety of non-formal weekend commitments. When you have these items available, your decisions will often make themselves, depending on what you intend to do with your time on any given day.
Use Accessories to Transform Outfits
Once you’ve put together a collection of essential garments, you can add a little bit of character and personality through the judicious use of a few key accessories. Belts, scarves, hats, and wristwatches can all make a difference – and the same goes for casual tote bags, which can be hung in your wardrobe for minimal clutter.
Layer Strategically
The weather in the UK can be notoriously difficult to predict. For this reason, it’s a good idea to layer up. You can throw on, or discard, a jacket, coat, or cardigan, depending on the changing whims of the weather – and the situation you find yourself in.
You’ll want to make different layers available, depending on the time of year. If it’s summer, for example, it’s often a good idea to vacuum-seal your woolly jumpers and stash them somewhere out of the way, until the cold weather rolls around again.
Maximise the Power of Footwear
Shoes are an often underrated, though fundamental part of any effective wardrobe. You’ll need to be able to call on boots, flats, heels, or trainers, depending on what you’re doing. Storing your options in stackable, transparent boxes can make them much easier to sift through.
Keep Essentials Organised
In fact, generally speaking, the more organised your wardrobe space is, the more easily you’ll be able to deal with it. Keep the items you wear most frequently somewhere they can be easily retrieved. Don’t be afraid to divide the space, and to create an arrangement of hangers, drawers, and boxes that suits your priorities.
