As we bring out our fall and winter clothes, you may have wardrobe gaps. A Wardrobe Gap is not just a missing item but something that will make the pieces you own work better for you. It’s not as easy as you think to identify them either. But never fear; that’s where we come in to help you out.
5 Tips On Help You Identify Wardrobe Gaps
1. Review What You Already Own
It’s essential to know what you already have so you can identify where it’s lacking. If you don’t have the time for a closet clean-out, spend some time in your wardrobe refamiliarizing yourself with what you own.
2. Know How You Spend Your Time
Always build a wardrobe around your current lifestyle. Now, lifestyles can change, so always be conscious of how you spend your time. Do you spend more time at work in a corporate setting, or do you work from home? If it’s corporate, you may want to account for suiting, whereas working from home, you want to lean into comfort. Also, be aware of the current climate where you live. If you live in warmer climates, you may not need a lot of heavy coats.
3. Understand Your Wardrobe Gaps May Be Different Than Other’s
Just because someone claims that blazers are a must-have doesn’t mean that you need it. You may not even like blazers. So always be aware of your personal style, what works for you, and what would help complete your wardrobe. However, we also encourage you to try new silhouettes & styles. You never know unless you try.
4. Don’t Rush It
Take your time when purchasing new items. Account for fit and quality. Do not settle.
5. Take Note Of Pieces That Keep Coming Up
Is there a piece that keeps coming up when you get dressed that you know will complete a look? If you find it comes up more often than not, it might be a wardrobe gap.
In Closing
Be mindful of the new pieces that you acquire for the upcoming seasons. You’ll want to make a list and be specific on style, color, size, etc. The more specific you are, the more you’ll stick to your list.
It always helps to build a style inspiration board with the pieces that you’ve identfied as wardrobe gaps. You can find out how to build one >>HERE<<.
