Steps To Build Complete Wardrobe Essentials

By Young Lindsay


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.

Construct a complete new selection of clothing items with class and distinction by planning first. Go through the clothing items that you already own and sort them. Get rid of anything you haven't worn in a year unless it is formal wear.

Choose one to three basic colors that your selections will be based on. For extra mileage, black is always a good color to begin with as almost everything matches this shade. Choose one or two colors to go with your base shade. For example, with black, red and white are always good choices as they are strong colors that can be worn year round. Adding accessories to these will be a snap, especially around the holidays.

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 love sports and working out, an athletic category is a must. You will need shirts, shorts, leggings, running bras, yoga pants, tennis shoes and much more. Begin with the basic items that are needed and add more items as your budget allows.

When choosing any type of footwear, try to stick to basic colors like black and brown. These shades are extremely versatile and can work well with several types of fabrics and designs. Choose an array of boot styles such as riding boots, motorcycle boots, short boots, and dressy boots so you have several styles to choose from. Always purchase quality brands that will stand up to your busy and eventful lifestyle.

You can purchase almost any shoe style these days. Heels, flat, clogs, loafers, work shoes and running shoes are just a few of the types you may need for your own particular lifestyle.

Formal clothing should only be purchased on an as needed basis. For example, don't purchase a formal gown or tea length dress unless you have an occasion to wear it. Save these luxuries for last in your budget as they are not needed often unless you have a truly glamorous life.

After you have made all of your selections and purchases, organize your closet and any drawers you may have to keep everything neatly in its place. Ask for the aid of friends or professionals if necessary to build a display of all the clothing you have selected and sorted.
