How To Build Complete Wardrobe Essentials

By Young Lindsay


You've always wanted to re-create yourself and one of the first steps would be to take on a new or updated style. You can build complete wardrobe essentials with any kind of budget as long as it is enough to purchase basics plus accessories. This can be a fun and exciting way to increase your confidence and self-esteem.

Distinction and class may be your goals but you must put your plan in writing or pictures first. Sort the items you have and get rid of the ones that do not fit in with your new scheme. Cut out pictures of items and styles that you are interested in acquiring.

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.

If you are very athletic or sports oriented, this is a category you may wish to add. You will need shorts, leggings, shoes, yoga pant, running and exercise bras, and much, much more. Begin very slowly with the mere basics as you progress in your fitness program and add more attire and footwear as needed.

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.

Shoe styles are almost unlimited. You need your flats, heels, clogs, running shoes and loafers, just to name a few. Choose what fits your lifestyle. For example, if you are not athletic or into running and walking, expensive running shoes are probably not something you need. If you like to go out on the town, then heels and sandals are requirement for you and your busy social life.

You should purchase formal wear only on an as-needed basis unless you find an extraordinary buy and know that you have an event coming up in the very near future. If the funds just aren't there in your personal budget, this is one category you can usually skip.

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.
