Re: How to wardrobe?

[(Anonymous)]

All of this is excellent advice. I especially agree with #1. Try things on. Lots of things. All kinds of things. I get a lot of things from Value Village (a huge thrift store chain), and it's especially important when buying used clothes. I will literally go in and try on thirty items to figure out what's good.

I want to add that a lot of things that say they're dry clean only can be hand washed. Just use a gentle soap, luke warm water, and roll the item up in a towel to press the water out of it, instead of wringing it. I have a couple of silk tops and a couple of cashmere sweaters that have stood up to multiple hand washing well, despite their tags saying dry clean only. (Not so sure about coats and dresses, though.)

Re: How to wardrobe?

Oh, two more things:

Don't always presume something snug fitting will make you look slimmer. I believed that for years. Then I did this challenge where I took a picture of my outfit everyday for a month, and by the end I had realized that most of the days I looked the best, and the slimmest, were days I'd worn slightly looser, drapier clothing.

Don't shy away from colors. Neutrals can be really classy, and can be great wardrobe staples for sure. But too little color tends to leave people looking bland. Fashion bloggers and the like tend to make neutrals look amazing, but that's because their outfits are excellently calibrated and their clothes are always in perfect, like-new condition. For an average person, too many "classic, chic neutrals" tend to just look blah. Don't be afraid to go for big bold blocks of color. A red t-shirt with jeans is no more complicated than a grey t-shirt with jeans, but a grey t-shirt is more likely to look like the first thing your hand touched in the morning, not a deliberate and distinctive fashion choice.
