Now that autumn is almost here, it is about time to start adjusting your wardrobe according to the changing season. If you still have not started working on your fall attire, below are a few smart ways to help you easily minimize your wardrobe and plan for the new season:
- Clean your wardrobe
With the changing season it is always better to make space for new trendy and seasonal cloths. In order to do this, it is always best to undergo spring cleaning. Analyze everything you own and keep only the clothes that you know you will wear go through them systematically. Giveaway any clothes that you do not wear frequently ones that are no longer your size. You can donate these clothes or even sell them on e-bay. This way, you can rid yourself of the unnecessary load and make room for the new trends that are bound to dominate the new season.
- Things you own
While cleaning your closet make a list with the kind of clothes you already own and the items you really need to update according to the new trends. This way you can avoid purchasing the same kinds of dresses over and over again. Firstly identify the main investments you need to make in your clothes and also set a budget for accessories like coats, bags, knits and shoes aside so that you do not overspend. Shortlist the main events that are coming up in next season and if you need anything specific for those events, get those instead of random binge shopping.
- Check market and research online shops
You can go window shopping or check online shops for the latest fall collection by your favorite brands. This way you know exactly what is new and what is expected to be popular in the coming fall. This way you can easily save money while staying in style throughout the year. Knowing the kind of clothes you already have also helps save a lot of time, money and repetition of attire.
- Your needs and lifestyle
A perfect wardrobe does not only reflect your style but it should also resonates your lifestyle. If you work from home or are a doctor than a corporate suit and heels may not be the appropriate attire for you. Your clothes should complement your lifestyle, job and needs. Someone who works from home does not need to invest a lot in suits and a doctor might need to get comfortable clothes as opposed to formal ones that intervene during surgeries. In order to have the right clothes it is essential to know the events you will be attending in the upcoming season. It is always best to have a balance of formal and informal clothes so that all your requirements can be met without trouble.
- Color of clothes
Most people prefer wearing neutral colors like blacks, greys, off-whites, nudes and whites in the fall as they give a fresh look. This is also because you can easily match these with any color. You can also keep your wardrobe trendy and relevant by combining them with fresher colors like magenta, deep red, maroon, khaki and navy shades.
- Quality of clothes
It is essential that you have good quality clothes; it does not matter if there are just a few of them. When it comes to clothing and wardrobe staying true to the concept of “less is more” is very true. This way you can nicely mix and match your clothes and also add your personal style to your attire.
