How To Build Complete Wardrobe Essentials

By Young Lindsay


You may want a new look or have lost all of your clothing in a move or fire. Whatever the case, to build complete wardrobe essentials is fun and exciting. You can completely re-do yourself just with new styles and different colors and accessories. It is a great opportunity to refresh your personal aura and appearance.

You can start the process by sorting all of the clothing items in your possessions. Get rid of articles that haven't been worn within the past year unless they are dressy items such as formal gowns or, in the case of men, a tuxedo.

Next, you must choose one, two or three matching colors that your choices will be based on. This will minimize the number of clothing pieces, accessories and shoes that you need to complete a clothing renewal. Many choose black as a base color because it matches almost anything. Others may select brown, navy or gray as their basic color. This will allow you to choose matching clothing and accessories that will blend well together and keep your costs down.

Choose the categories you will need. This will depend greatly on your lifestyle but will usually include casual, work, and dressy types of clothing. Those who socialize often will need a formal category and those who work out or run will definitely need a sports section of clothing articles. Some articles will be able to be included in more than one category. For example, a nice pair of slacks can be worn both to work and out on the town.

You may even wish to add an exercise or athletic category. The items needed would be tee shirts, leggings, yoga pants, shorts, running bras, running shoes, and more. Start slowly with only the basic items necessary and, as you gain expertise and skill, add to your fitness clothing selections.

When selecting shoes and boots, try to stick with basic colors such as black and brown. These colors are extremely versatile and work well with anything from denim to fur. Purchase a variety of boot styles including short boots, riding boots, short heeled boots, and dressy boots. Keep quality in mind and attempt to buy only real leather footwear. Keep a supply of shoe polish on hand as they do tend to get scuffed and worn over time.

The shoes that are available are without limit. You will need many types including clogs, flats, work shoes, running shoes, loafers and heels. Select what fits your lifestyle and your bank account and spend most of your money on those styles you will wear most frequently. If you love to party, heels and dressy sandals are necessary. If work is what takes up most of your time, then professional wear is what is needed the most.

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.
