A new look may be your goal or you may have completely lost all of your clothing due to an unexpected fire or move. No matter what, to build complete wardrobe items up is exciting and a lot of fun. The ability to re-do your style and general appearance will make you feel as if you have a new lease on life.
You can start the process by sorting all of the clothing items in your possessions. Get rid of articles that haven't been worn within the past year unless they are dressy items such as formal gowns or, in the case of men, a tuxedo.
Next, you must choose one, two or three matching colors that your choices will be based on. This will minimize the number of clothing pieces, accessories and shoes that you need to complete a clothing renewal. Many choose black as a base color because it matches almost anything. Others may select brown, navy or gray as their basic color. This will allow you to choose matching clothing and accessories that will blend well together and keep your costs down.
Separate your choices into categories such as casual, work, social and formal. You may not need all of these as it depends on your budget and your lifestyle. Some of these may work well in more than one category. For example, those black pants that may be your focal wardrobe item may work equally well in the casual, work, and social categories. In the casual category, add a black and white tee shirt. The work category may require a crisp, white button-down, and the formal category, a black tuxedo jacket with a white silk blouse may be just the look for you.
If you are very athletic or sports oriented, this is a category you may wish to add. You will need shorts, leggings, shoes, yoga pant, running and exercise bras, and much, much more. Begin very slowly with the mere basics as you progress in your fitness program and add more attire and footwear as needed.
Black and brown are the best basic colors for boots. They are extremely versatile shades and can work great with everything from leggings to dresses. Keep a variety of boots on hand to keep your options open. The best quality footwear is usually made of leather and needs to be taken care of on a regular basis. Shoes polishes and shines should be kept available at all times to assist with scuffs and discolorations.
Shoe styles are almost unlimited. You need your flats, heels, clogs, running shoes and loafers, just to name a few. Choose what fits your lifestyle. For example, if you are not athletic or into running and walking, expensive running shoes are probably not something you need. If you like to go out on the town, then heels and sandals are requirement for you and your busy social life.
Do not buy formal wear on a whim. Purchase it only on an as-needed basis unless glamorous parties and social events are a large part of your life. These luxuries should be the last on your list and if you don't really socialize or attend these types of events, you probably don't need any at all unless a wedding invitation arrives in the mail or you are invited to a charity ball.
When your shopping is done, make a definite point of organizing your own closet and other personal storage space to keep all items easy to find. Ask for help from professionals if necessary. You will find that you feel like a new person in this new attire. Take advantage of this and start your life with a fresh slate.
