Fashion is changing so fast, and this trend entails many significant consequences. Many of us cease to control their own closets. Additionally, the chaos is bigger due to poor quality clothes that were supposed to serve for just one season. As an effect, every morning you stand in front of your closet with no idea as what to wear. In this article we will try to advise you how to get rid of a mess in your closet and improve your style.
Review your clothes
The best way to put your closet in order, is to have a free day, a lot of space on the floor, and big garbage bags. You will be amused how big a project it is. First, pull out everything that you have crammed over the years in your closet. Try to do it in stages, just not to get discouraged or lost. You can start with looking through sweatshirts or blouses, and end with trousers and jackets. How to select? We segregate the clothes into three stacks: first one – I feel good wearing it, I will wear it, second one – I have some doubts or it requires some mending, third one – I don’t like it, I don’t wear it, it is not my size or it looks worn. Clothes gathered on the second stack require a second look – each part of clothes should be tried on and assessed as to its future. If you do not feel comfortable or it does not suit your style while trying it on, feel free to toss it over on the third stack. Then if something looks quite good on you, suites your style, and does not cause discomfort – keep it. Some parts of clothing from the second stack will require small amendments, like sewing a button or shortening. It is worth mending as fast as possible, so the clothes do not pile forever. When you are done selecting, you can put your favourite clothes again in your closet, clothes requiring mending hand over to a tailor, and just get rid of the rest.
A well-organized closet
The basis of a well-organized closet is tidiness and transparency. The clothes should be divided into categories (trousers next to trousers, blouses next to blouses) and use esthetic and solid hangers. It is best to fold t-shirts and underwear and put them in drawers. Also, it is good to organize your clothes according to colours, you will avoid visual chaos and you will know instantly where to look for a blue shirt, or a green sweater. Even though your closet will look empty after your work, soon you will see that the morning dilemmas as what to wear are finally over. What is more, you will become a conscious consumer. It will be harder for you to fall for a passing craze, you will finally find your very own style and from now on every purchase will be carefully thought through. What to do with clothes that you bought on the spur of the moment, and which you have never worn? You can resell them, or donate to charity. It may serve as a lesson to care more about purchases. It is better to buy fewer things, but of a good quality.
Fill the gaps in your closet – buy the best quality clothes
When you have a carefully selected closet, it is easier to keep it tidy and find necessary parts of clothes. But when you feel that you lack some good quality clothes after such a cleaning, make a list and buy some more to fill the gaps (if you had thrown away three worn-out jackets it does not mean that you should regret your decision – instead why not buy yourself a new one, but decent). While buying new things, pay attention to the fabric which it is made of. Avoid synthetic ones. Polyester is made from petroleum-based products or recycled plastic bottles. Your skin cannot breathe, and it causes discomfort. Definitely the worst fabric is acryl, which is synthetic wool – it looks worn-out really fast, pick up static, makes us sweat a lot. If you want your shoes and bags to serve you for long years, then try to avoid artificial leather, which cracks really fast and does not breathe. While shopping, choose only natural products – cotton, silk, wool, natural leather. Remember that good quality clothes will serve you longer and work for your best image. Invest in decent clothes. To do this, you can draw a small prompt loan and then you can spoil yourself with a leather briefcase or a fashionable silk shirt. Soon you will see that your image improved a lot and you will feel comfortable and self-conscious with that. Maybe then you will get a better job or will be promoted?
