How to Improve a Wardrobe

How to Improve a Wardrobe



You can improve your wardrobe and enhance your fashion style with ease. Discard any clothing that doesn't fit properly, or is stained, torn and in disrepair. Choose two or three basic colors that look good on you and coordinate with one another. Purchase quality pieces in those colors, and don't forget to accessorize. Here are more tips.









Step
1



Explore the clothing you have in your closet. Get rid of anything that doesn't fit you well or is in disrepair because of rips, tears, frays or stains.




Step
2



Decide which color basics you want to build your wardrobe around. Choose two or three colors that will work together and, most important, look good on you. As you begin to build a new wardrobe, stick with mostly neutral colors like black, gray, ivory and navy.




Step
3



Purchase key items in the colors you chose in Step 2. Buy the best quality you can afford, as the clothes will last longer and look better than inexpensive copies. Select two pair of pants, two skirts and two blouses. Choose these pieces in classic styles rather than hot new trends.




Step
4



Accessorize your new look. Pick up shoes, a

handbag


and some jewelry to complement your new color scheme. If your clothing is neutral-colored, you might want to pick up some bright, funky accessories to punctuate your look.




Step
5



Hang your clothes on wooden hangers to preserve the shape when it's in the closet. Crease your slacks when you hang them up. Hang skirts from skirt hangers to avoid pulling and stretching. Fold nice sweaters and put them in a drawer.




Step
6



Add to your wardrobe gradually. Purchase items of good quality that will work with at least two of your key pieces. Slowly add in more adventurous colors, like blues, pinks, reds and browns; whatever style looks good on you.







Tips & Warnings









As you build your wardrobe, remember that the fit of your clothing is extremely important. If you need to, take your clothes to a tailor. It's worth the money.
