Knowing where to start is the first step in improving a wardrobe.Evaluate how your wardrobe can be improved.New, better pieces should be introduced into your closet to replace the pieces you hate.
Step 1: You can look through your closet.
You should separate the clothes you like from the ones you don't like.
Step 2: Why do you love the clothes?
Some pieces have sentimental value, but you love clothing that makes you look good.There are pieces that are similar in style and shape.You can hold a fashion show for yourself.If you don't know why you like a certain piece or outfit, try it on and look in a full-length mirror.
Step 3: Donate clothing you don't like.
If you dislike it and don't wear it anymore, keeping it will only make your opinion of your wardrobe worse.There are holes or stains in the clothing.Donate clothes that are in good condition to a thrift store.There is a box of clothing that has sentimental value.Even if you don't like the way they look on your body, some pieces may mean something.If you can't part with a piece for sentimental reasons, keep it in a box separate from your wardrobe.
Step 4: Evaluate clothing to see if it's neutral.
Determine what pieces look good on you.Disregard of clothing that makes you look old.If you don't like bland clothing, hang on to something that has potential.There are pieces that can be spiced up.Stay with a few comfort pieces.If you plan on lounging around the house all day, you should wear a loose t-shirt or a pair of sweatpants.If you have one or two, it won't hurt.
Step 5: Measure your body.
If you think you already know your basics, re-measure yourself.Measure your bust.Keep the tape measure taut and parallel to the floor by wrapping it around your bust.Take a measurement of your waist size.Wrap a tape measure around your natural waist, which is the narrowest part of your body, just below your bust.The tape measure needs to be parallel to the floor.You should measure your hip size.Stand with your heels together and wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping it taut and parallel to the floor.
Step 6: Determine the problem areas.
Women are dissatisfied with their body features.Balance them out by figuring out what features you feel unhappy with.
Step 7: It's possible to find something you like about your body.
Everyone has something they can work on.Keep positive and figure out which features you want to accentuate.
Step 8: Know your body type.
pear, apple, inverted triangle, and ruler are the basic shapes.No clothes on, stand in front of a full-length mirror.The shape of your torso is what you should be focused on.Take your natural waist and trace it to your rib cage.visualize your hip line and waist as you start your natural waist.
Step 9: Visit a tailor.
A piece in your wardrobe can fall short, but still have potential.Fix hems that are falling down.There are pants and skirts that drag or fail to flatter.If you have experienced a change in your weight, it's a good idea to have an old favorite taken in or let out.
Step 10: Accessorize with jewelry
A bit of flair can make an outfit great.You can find old and fashionable pieces in your jewelry box.Purchase some new jewelry.Even if you didn't purchase them in the past, look for pieces that interest you.If you know you can match your current clothing with jewelry, buy it.It's a good idea to look for bright colored jewelry.Consider diamonds or pearls for nicer occasions.
Step 11: You can add color and style to your clothing with shoes.
Purchase bright colored heels, flats or sandals to make bland outfits pop.You can wear a neutral color pair of heels with most of your clothing.
Step 12: Invest in more accessory pieces.
You don't have to limit your accessories to shoes and jewelry.Try on different hats.Many people can find at least one style of hat that works for them, even if it doesn't look right on every head.If the style appeals to you, consider purchasing a long fashion scarf.A neutral color is a good choice for a fashion belt.The way a garment looks on you can be changed by accentuating the narrowest part of your waist.Place your purses in a different position.Pull out a handbag that you haven't carried in a while.If you already have a purse, you can buy a new one.
Step 13: Outside your closet is a good place to look for ideas.
Pick out pictures of outfits that you like.Cut out pictures and use them as cheat sheets to guide you when shopping.
Step 14: The basics should be covered.
Add the basic pieces to your wardrobe if you don't already have them.You should own at least one pair of well-fit blue jeans that are boot-cut.Purchase a pair of soft material dress slacks with an interior lining.A skirt in a neutral color is flattering.A knee-length A-line skirt flatters most body types and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.You can wear a few tank tops or camisoles underneath jackets and low-cut blouse.You should own a white button-down shirt.Consider buying a jacket that you can wear over a variety of shirts.
Step 15: Select a few pieces that are fun.
The idea is to improve your wardrobe, not keep it the same.Even if you wouldn't usually consider them, look for daring patterns and colors that interest you.Pick one current trend and shop for a piece that meshes with it.
Step 16: There are pieces that flatter your body type.
If you have a pear shape body, choose shirts with patterns, bold colors, and interesting necklines.If you have an apple shape, cover your midsection with empire waist tops and full skirts.If you have an inverted triangle shape, you can create lower curves by wearing full bottoms.Think jeans with flares and skirts with bold colors.If you have a rectangular shape, add dimensions to it with print, texture, color, layers, and other details.If you have an hourglass shaped body, use skirts, tops, and fabrics to accentuate your waist.
Step 17: You should look for pieces that you love.
You can only feel neutral about bland pieces.Save your money if you don't love a piece you try on.
