Building A Minimalist Wardrobe

wardrobe

Building a Minimalist Wardrobe, Closet Detox, Method Dressing, the French Five Piece Wardrobe; there are thousands of articles written on building the perfect wardrobe. Why? Because every woman (or man) wants or needs a closet full of everything.
Imagine what it would be like when you can pick one fave item after another, how happy would your mornings be?

Besides that, we owe it to our environment to buy less but better. We are ALL responsible for the terrible accident that happened in the clothing factory in Bangladesh. Because we all – at least – once bought an item that was too cheap to be true. When the pricetag says 10, it cannot have been produced in a fair way, anyone who denies that or blames “the other” has some serious ego issues.

Now let’s make one thing clear, a minimalist wardrobe doesn’t need to be 30 items, it doesn’t need to be designer and it doesn’t need to be boring. It all comes down to owning good quality wardrobe staples which suit your lifestyle. Follow these steps from my fave blog of the moment Into Mind and make a good start on your Pentecoast weekend;

Know your style, Do a wardrobe Detox, Be inspired, Analyze your lifestyle, Build a capsule wardrobe, Find a signature look, Organize your wardrobe , Maintain your wardrobe and Minimalize your beauty essentials.

A Quick Guide To Wardrobe Editing

A Spring cleaning originally was meant to gain a clean well organized house after the winter period, but it should also apply to your wardrobe. If you aim a closet full of everything instead of nothing, I can really recommend a Spring Wardrobe Detox. Before you start, know your style and be harsh; if it doesn’t fit you, isn’t your style, is worn out or doesn’t do the absolute best for you, repair it, toss it, sell it, donate it or – oh yeah – replace it. I found this helpful guide on into mind, a really cool blog about building a stylish minimalist wardrobe and lifestyle.
