3 Easy Steps to Build a Solid Wardrobe
Maybe you’re at the point where you’re tired of the worn out / outdated pieces you currently own and are ready to upgrade … Good for you!
The thing is… trying to build a full on wardrobe from scratch without knowing where to start can feel frustrating — but it doesn’t have to be.
Discover a simple approach to building a new and improved wardrobe that clearly reflects your sense of style by following these three simple steps:
Step 1:
Know Your BodyType
Before anything else, it’s a non-negotiable to really know your body type so you avoid wasting money on clothing that doesn’t work for you. Understanding whether you lean towards a round, slim, average or even a mix build helps you learn how to shop better and choose garments that will help enhance your physique. Identifying which type of body you have is important when selecting fabrics, colors, and designs that’ll help you look and feel your best.
Step 2:
Start with the Basics
Start by incorporating basic / staple pieces into your wardrobe. Things like neutral colored t-shirts, classic button-down shirts, dark wash jeans, white sneakers, casual jackets and versatile blazers are timeless items that will team effortlessly with all your other pieces. Having these foundational items in place creates a base for a streamlined wardrobe that makes getting dressed so much easier. With these essentials, you can later introduce a wider range of seasonal items that’ll help diversify your collection and highlight more of your individuality.
Step3:
Choose Statement Pieces Wisely
After you've nailed down the staples, start experimenting with lighter colors or bolder prints and patterns.
Statement pieces help add interest into your outfits and elevate your style game to that next level — but you’ll want to approach with caution.
While it's tempting to replicate flashy looks you see other men wearing, blindly following trends can lead to diving head first into a fashion faux pas.
When in doubt, consider consulting a professional stylist for guidance on how to develop your style, so you can inject personality pieces the right way.
Remember, simplicity will be the foundation for your wardrobe — be sure you’ve got all the basics in place before anything else, as this will ensure you can easily put outfits together and feel confident in what you wear.
