How To Create A Perfect Wardrobe

Want to know the secret to creating a foolproof wardrobe? It's all about "buying less and spending more."

The ultimate goal is to build a wardrobe of clothes that suit you perfectly and that will mix and match easily to create innumerable outfits. It may take you several years to get there, but the result is absolutely worth it.

A perfect wardrobe should be made up of 60% Classic pieces 20% Basics and 20% Trend.

You probably already have a few classic pieces in your wardrobe. By classic we mean pieces that won't date quickly, can be worn with lots of things and suit your body shape and colouring well. These are the items you paid more for but are made of high quality natural fibres and have seen you through several seasons. By purchasing classic pieces over a longer period of time, pairing them with good quality basics and keeping current with a few trend items like the latest handbag, you will always look elegant and put together.

Start the process with a quick and easy wardrobe organization. Immediately remove anything that is obviously worn out, stained or torn, as well as anything you haven't worn for a few years. If you can't mend it, bin it. Then separate your remaining clothing into piles of classics, basics and trend.

Classics - The classics are good quality items like jackets, coats, skirts and pants that fit you well, that look great and are still in great condition. They are the core items of your wardrobe that can be dressed up or down and will mix well with lots of other items.

Basics - The basics are good quality t-shirts, stockings and lingerie etc. These are items that get a lot of wear and should be replaced every season or so. Always buy the best quality you can afford and don't skimp on underwear - well-fitting lingerie can work minor miracles. The more careful you are when washing and storing your basics, the longer they will last.

Trend - Finally you should be left with a pile of trend clothing. These could be current trends or those from a few years ago that you are loath to throw out. While you may want to hang on to a few favourites, once the trend is over do you really have any need to keep them? Anything you decide to keep should be stored separately from the rest of your wardrobe.
