As a new season begins, refreshing and organizing your wardrobe might be on your to-do list. Even if this isn’t your favorite task, having a clean and tidy wardrobe is something we all appreciate, especially when faced with the dreaded “I have nothing to wear” moment. By tidying up your wardrobe, you’ll have everything neatly arranged, making it easier to pick your daily outfit. It’s easy to forget about that certain skirt or jacket you’ve neglected for months, but staying organized has its perks. Here are some basic tips to help you spruce up your wardrobe for autumn.
Clothes You Don’t Wear
We all have clothes we no longer wear for one reason or another. Fashion trends, personal style, and our tastes constantly evolve. Some items might be old, worn out, or out of fashion, while others simply don’t fit well. Sounds familiar? It’s clear those clothes have no place in your closet. Although it might be tough to part with unworn clothes, your wardrobe needs a cleanup now and then. If you haven’t worn something in the last two years, it’s unlikely you’ll wear it this year. Consider selling, donating, or recycling them—it benefits both sides. With only clothes you love and wear regularly, choosing your daily outfit becomes a breeze.
Basics
Essential pieces like black or white t-shirts, black jeans, or a leather jacket are some of the most practical items to have. They work well with any combination and can easily be dressed up with accessories like earrings, long necklaces, or rings. A trendy blazer or loose cardigan over a basic t-shirt can make your look stylish and chic. On days when you’re unsure of what to wear, a classic cotton t-shirt can always do the trick and look great. A scarf is another excellent accessory that adds color and texture to basic outfits. No matter the season, you always need a few staple items.
Trends
Fashion trends have their pros and cons. It’s nice to be on-trend and sport the latest fashion, but this isn’t always practical. Trends can be so unusual that they quickly become outdated. If you truly love a trendy piece, go ahead and buy it, but there’s no need to own all the latest items. Be reasonable and selective.
