Keeping your style game 100 from Mondays to Sundays doesn’t have to be a hassle.
Here are 7 practical tips to keep your wardrobe organized this week regardless of what your plans are.
1. Start Early
Planning your wardrobe should be included amongst your Sunday habits for a productive week. This means you need to start as early as possible. Last-minute preparations will only leave you overwhelmed and disoriented.
2. Review your weekly schedule
What have you got planned for the week? office duties or a string of occasional meetings? Write out your day-to-day schedule for the week. Also, it is good practice to leave room for an unplanned outing.
3. Find an inspiration
Are you into colour palettes when searching for style inspiration? Or, do you like a bit of mix and match? Pinterest is always a great place to find ideas and compare with your wardrobe. Think about the impression you want to create and let the inspiration guide you.
4. Begin with the basics
There are wardrobe basics that your week’s style choices can’t do without, and this is the best place to begin. Pick out the basics that best complement your style, from that crisp white shirt to your most trusted pants.
5. Layer each look
Throw in a few extra layers that would accentuate your outfit. You’d be amazed what a simple jacket over your outfit can do to revamp the entire look. Another good reason to experiment with layering is that you never know when the weather will switch up on you.
6. Focus on what fits best
When planning your wardrobe for the week, try not to gamble with ill-fitting choices or fits that you don’t feel most confident in. Focus on what suits you the most and lay them out. You can schedule a specific time later in the week to declutter and decide which cloth should be amended or given away. Start here.
7. Time for accessorizing
Accessories can make or break your outfit, so this is an important step in your wardrobe planning. When in doubt, opt for the most basic choices, simple designs on muted colours. If you like a bit more flair, ensure that your statement accessorizing doesn’t clash with your outfit. From bags to jewellery and shoes.
Bonus
The more you plan your weekly wardrobe, the more likely you are to recognize a pattern. Are there pieces that never seem to make the cut, week after week? Do you still have use for these pieces? Wardrobe planning is also a good time for a declutter. Also, it shows you what is lacking to guide you on your next shopping trip.
