Go back to your maybe pile.Īfter you go through all of your clothes and figure out what you love and what you don't, it's time to revisit the maybe pile. If she hesitated at first, me and my roommates would tell her to throw it in the maybe pile and evaluate it later. Because it was very obvious what items she loved to wear, which made it easy to pick out which items did not belong in her wardrobe. Like the great Marie Kondo says, your items should " spark joy." I did this method with my friend Hannah last week, and she agrees that it's way easier to pare down your wardrobe than you might think. There's no need to spend a lot of time contemplating if you love something or not. I did this part very mindlessly and quick. The last thing you want is a huge pile of clothes on your floor for weeks. I like putting it all on my bed rather than the floor because that means I have to figure this out before I go to sleep. I did all of my clothes first, and then I put all of my shoes on my bed next. Yes, I'm talking alllllll of your sweaters, coats, T shirts, jeans, Nike shorts- you name it. Put allllll the clothes you own on your bed. So let's get started! I promise you'll love your closet and the things inside of it once you go through this method.
The steps I'm about to give you are the steps that led to a complete life change for me. That's the first step to a minimal wardrobe! Let's learn to love the clothing we have before we're on the hunt to go buy new. So today, I'm going to tell you the piece of advice I got to have an environmentally friendly wardrobe: Use what you already have. The problem is that your favorite pieces are surrounded by clothes you don't like to wear. Maybe I'll write something eventually that gives ethical sources for fashion, but the point is that you have clothing you like in your closet right now. So this blog post goes step by step on exactly how I created my favorite wardrobe I have ever owned.įirst and foremost, this is NOT a blog post telling you where to start buying your clothes. Or at least not near the rate at which I used to. I'm in love my style-but I actually never buy clothes. I was a college girl who had new clothes coming to her doorstep left and right, but was never satisfied with the amount I had. If you have an overflowing closet, but never have anything to wear, this blog post is for you. This blog post is the sequel to WHY I started. Oat, khaki, grey and white are the go-tos year-round, while black and tan are the perfect partners in the form of accessories.Hello hello! If you're new to my blog and don't know my motivations for starting a minimalist wardrobe, please read WHY I Started a Minimalist Wardrobe to read allllll about the reasons why having less clothes literally changed my life. Firstly, the fit should be pared-back – you won’t find an oversized ruffle, floaty frill or scalloped hem around here.
If you’re keen to join the club, the important things to note are fit and colour. How do I build a minimalist capsule wardrobe? You know the ones where you get to the end of the street and wish you hadn’t gone for wide-leg blush pink trousers and a clashing top as you feel too outre? Well those moments are few and far between when all of your wardrobe pieces blend together seamlessly. I find getting dressed so much easier with a slick, neutral wardrobe, and I also find I have fewer ‘outfit regret’ moments. It’s not that I don’t like prints or bright colours, in fact, I love both, just not necessarily in my own wardrobe.
