Imagine walking into your closet and having every outfit you ever wanted or needed organized, properly tailored, and ready to wear at your fingertips. It might sound like you need a large disposable income, but this isn’t the case. All you need is a bit of creativity, understanding, and focus to accomplish the goal. Here are some tips to help you create a well-rounded wardrobe that’s not only arranged, and stylish, but also tailored to your lifestyle, and on a budget.
BASICS
The core of every wardrobe are the essentials. These necessary clothing articles are the foundation of any great closet and will have you prepare for almost any event that life throws at you. These items include a suit, dress shoes, woven shirt, polo, basic sneakers, plain t-shirt, denim, chinos, and belt. Once you include these items in your wardrobe you can begin to fill it out with more trendy or designer clothes.
FIT
Your fit can mean all the difference between a great or terrible outfit. Just because you got something in your size doesn’t mean it fits correctly. The quintessential wardrobe should consist of tailored clothes. The Something items might have to go to a tailor to properly fit your body composition, so for starters buy clothes that work with your body type.
PERSONAL
Even though we should make it a point to dress at all time our best but in reality our day-to-day activities don’t require us to be on one every second. This is when we turn to items fit our lifestyle. Whether you workout, more casual, streetwear addict, or like particular sports teams, your closet should reflect this. Keep in mind that you should be able to mix these items with basics and should be tasteful.
FASHION TRENDS
You’re a lover of every shiny and new the fashion world has to offer. Adding the latest trends to your closet has the benefit of having an up to date wardrobe and shows that you keep your fingers on the pulse but, the positives end there. The world of fashion moves fast and trying to keep up is not only time-consuming but it can also get expensive. Believe it or not, current items have a expiration date and once that time passes those items become obsolete. Our suggestion is to only purchase pieces that can be integrated with the rest of your wardrobe. The last thing you want to look like is 2000 and late.
PURGE

Some of these items have sentimental value, or are just too comfortable to let go but you need to clear out these pieces to make room. The best way to make room is to donate pieces and if they’re in great condition you can sell them to make some cash.
