Your style says a lot about who you are. Based on your wardrobe, people can guess your occupation, where you’re from, your favorite color, or your personality type. However, sometimes, it’s necessary to switch it up. Luckily, there are ways to refresh your wardrobe that best reflect your growth.
Be honest: When was the last time you assessed your closet and wardrobe? If it’s been a while, now is the perfect time to find ways to refresh your wardrobe. Whether you want to alter your style or better organize your closet, we have the tips that you need! Here are five ways to refresh your wardrobe!
1. Get rid of clothes you don’t wear anymore.
Before you add anything to your closet, it is vital to dispose of any clothes you don’t wear anymore. Yes, that means the dress you only wore once must go! Believe it or not, clearing your closet of unwanted items can help you organize and focus on the options you actually wear. Instead of throwing your clothes away, donate them to a local thrift store.
2. Replace items you wear often.
We all have a favorite pair of jeans and a sweater that goes with everything. However, it may be time to reassess those items. Do the items need updating? Could they be a few seasons out of style? If so, one of the most important ways to refresh your wardrobe involves purchasing a new and better version. Pro tip: This can be done with your shoes as well!
3. Plan your shopping trips.
While we all love a shopping spree, you want to be strategic when refreshing your closet. Much like when you go to the grocery store, you’ll want to make a list. Decide which items you want to replace and what items you want to add to your closet. Do your best to avoid making impulsive purchases while shopping. Doing so can lead to items you’ll only wear once.
4. Find inspiration for items you want to add to your wardrobe.
If you are unsure how to define your style, there are many ways to find inspiration. Although social media has its issues, you can find answers to most things Google would not. Utilize the content fashion creators post on Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok. Remember, the goal is to find your style, not be a copycat!
5. Consider a capsule wardrobe.
In 2024, capsule wardrobes are becoming increasingly popular for good reason! Not only is capsulizing your wardrobe one of the best ways to refresh it, but it is also good for the environment.
