Are there times when after you bought a jacket or a pair of pants, you realise that you do not like it or just simply don't wear it at all? If yes, think before you shop! Instead of shopping aimlessly or on an unorganised hit-or-miss basis, here are some points to consider:
1. What's Your Type?
When it comes to planning for your wardrobe, decide what type you are or you'd like to be. Choose clothes that fit your idea of who you are or clothes that express your personality more.
2. What Do You Do?
Before you even think about going shopping, spend some time to reflect on your life. Where do you spend your time mostly on & how do you spend it? Choose clothes that fit your activities the most.
3. What Can You Afford to Spend?
If you have a limited amount to spend on clothes, it's best that you make each purchase count. Buy intelligently, avoiding fads that will be out of date in six months. Remember that quality is more valuable than quantity.
4. Where Do You Live?
Climate will always be a consideration. For those living in a four-seasons country, there is always the fall, winter, spring & summer clothings to keep track of. A winter coat represents the most considerable investment & should last for two to three years.
5. What's the Social Climate of Your Life?
If you go out frequently, you'll want more dressy clothes than if your social life is geared primarily to activities in your home. However, you should always have something for evening parties. Whether your clothes are formal or moderately formal depends on your tastes & the events that you will be attending.
6. What Are Your Needs?
Always begin with the basics. Basics should be simple enough to wear almost anywhere & in colors that blend. Stick to shades that are complementary to the main colors of your wardrobe. Other than that, you may slowly venture into other colors or revive some old clothes with a little imagination.
7. What's In Good Taste?
Always dress appropriately for your personality type, your figure, the time & the occasion. If in doubt, dress "down" rather than "up".
8. What Are the Fashion Trends?
Read about fashion & study fashion magazines & store windows. Plan imaginary wardrobes for yourself, cut out pictures or dressers & suits, then find accessories to match them. Look at fashion in terms of what you would look best in, then look for similar clothes when you shop.
So, it's time to clean out your old wardrobe if you think you need a new one! Get cracking, ladies & happy shopping!
