How to Build a Solid Wardrobe - Women
|
If like most women your life is a mixture of work, social events, keeping fit and ferrying the kids from sports events to music practice you probably own a variety of outfits.
Having said that, do you still feel like you have nothing to wear?
The trick to always looking stylish is to build a solid wardrobe. One you can count on to be flexible and adaptable to your varied life style while at the same time being affordable and timeless (who wants to buy new clothes every month because they have gone out of style?).
The clothes in your closet need to WORK TOGETHER. You can build a solid wardrobe that is both affordable and practical with very little fuss if you follow some simple guidelines. Here are some suggestions on how to build a solid wardrobe.
Step 1: Understand What ‘Wardrobing’ Is
When you build a solid wardrobe you need to think ‘simplicity’. Your choice of clothes should feature those with clean lines that are both casual and comfortable but well chosen enough to create a professional image.
‘Wardrobing’ is a system of buying (or making) clothes in a few basic colors that all work together. In so doing you can create multiple outfits from a few basic outfits. If you master the art of wardrobing you can create different outfits for seven weeks with just eleven garments! Now that’s something we can all use and we are going to show you how to do it.
Step 2 - The Eleven Garments
The eleven garments you will need to build a solid wardrobe are:
* 2 pairs of pants
* 2 skirts - one in a solid color and one in a print or check
* 2 simple tops - one in a solid color and one in the same print as above
* 4 tops, in colors which coordinate with the solids
* 1 simple cardigan or jacket in a solid color
Ensure that your formula works by picking two basic colors and adding a third complementary color. Next, make sure the print has the two basic colors in it. You might chose beige and navy as your two basic colors and a skirt in gold plus a print in navy and beige. Your four simple tops can be the fun items in your wardrobe. Try adding other colors like rust or ivory to this formula.
Choose colors that flatter you. Navy and burgundy with accent color like ivory and pink. If in doubt choose black and white and a world of accent colors really opens up since anything goes!
