After many years of working in retail in different states & different countries, my rules when buying for my own wardrobe are always the same
1. Your wardrobe should support who you are NOW. Clothes that sit in your wardrobe that don’t fit create clutter & make you overlook the pieces that actually make you feel good.
2. Don’t overlook the basics. Great jeans, blazers, tees, button up shirts. These are the day to day heavy lifters in your wardrobe. So many of us buy too many statement pieces that do not work with what we own to create an outfit.
3. Cut & composition over brand names, trends, or price tags. The cut of the garment defines how it sits on your body. The fabric composition determines how it feels, breathes, hangs & ages.
4. Look good, feel good. If you are constantly fidgeting, pulling or adjusting with your clothes after putting them on, the outfit is not right, put it back on the rack & keep walking
What have I missed, comment your wardrobe not negotiables…
