Do you feel that your wardrobe is not exciting anymore?
Are you not feeling the same love and happiness of opening your wardrobe and seeing the clothes?
After a while, it is common to feel uninspired by your clothes. This style rut is one of the reasons you think you do not have enough clothes; in reality, that’s not the case.
An unorganized and unplanned closet is the reason that leads to unnecessary purchases and overconsumption.
Falling in love with your clothes again is an exciting feeling! This new love story is a great way to start your sustainable journey.
The thumb rule to embracing slow fashion and having a conscious closet is to re-wear, repeat, and buy outfits from your wardrobe. This means your wardrobe already has enough clothes to spruce up your style game.
We are here to rekindle your love story with your wardrobe and get out of your “style rut” with 10 easy, simple, and doable tips!
1. Organize Your Wardrobe:
Take out all of your clothes from the wardrobe and divide them into batches:
2. Segregate Your Wardrobe:
This has all the clothes you want to have in your wardrobe, including items you love but no longer wear.
Make a pile of items that are going to be donated/ sold. These will include items that no longer fit, have worn out, or are uncomfortable.
The repair pile should have all the items that need some TLC ( Tender, Love & Care) from your end!
3. Rearrange Your Items:
4. Find New Homes For Your Old Stuff:
To love is to share. Instead of sending clothes to the landfill, find them a home so others can love the item just like you did! You can host swapping parties and share them with your friends or sell them online for strangers to add to their wardrobe.
5. Repair The Classics Worth Keeping:
Mending and repairing clothes is a type of love language. When you repair, you learn to respect the item and the maker. It’s better to repair classic items instead of buying a new one!
6. Revive Suede and Leather Accessories:
Taking care of suede and leather accessories is a way to keep them in good condition. This helps in increasing the lifespan and always feels like a brand-new product.
7. Rethink the Way You shop:
The most important thing to fall back in love with your wardrobe is to be aware of your purchasing patterns. Is your wardrobe filled with impulse purchases that are cheaply made? Or is it purchased with intention? Having a list of what you want to add next to your closet will make you love and cherish the item more!
8. Avoid Sailing on Every Trend:
Imagine a wardrobe with pieces you can wear in any season and will remain evergreen! Jumping on every trend is a way to add more to items that would soon become passé.
9. Play With Details And Accessories:
A sure-shot way to spruce your wardrobe is investing in classic accessories. When you think you have nothing to wear, try adding a belt, a statement ring, or a bag to take the outfit to the next level.
10. Come Up With New Combinations:
A way to re-wear items is by mixing different color combinations to make them feel like a new outfit. Highly recommend making a Pinterest board with your favorite color combinations for inspiration.
Being bored with your wardrobe is very common. The fast fashion culture over the years has made us believe that we do not have enough and we need to update our wardrobes to be on point constantly. This also accelerates the throwaway culture to make space for new items.
Sprucing your wardrobe allows you to decide what you should buy next. We hope these simple and easy tips help you fall in love with your wardrobe and continue the love story with your clothes!!
