How to Upgrade Your Closet

November 24, 2020 by Bel Leave a Comment

Everyone’s style changes over time, whether it be down to age or simply having a complete change of heart in terms of the types of clothing you enjoy wearing. However, if it has been some time since you’ve given your closet a shake-up, now might be the time you took the plunge. What we wear on a daily basis can truly impact our confidence and how we feel about ourselves and you may feel that your current clothing choices don’t signify who you are as a person anymore. If you’re struggling to change your closet, the below tips should come in useful:

Don’t buy something for just one occasion

We’re all guilty of it – we go shopping and end up purchasing something for just one occasion such as a wedding or a party and never wear it again. This not only clogs up closet space but is also a waste of cash. Instead of choosing a flashy item that you feel you can only be seen in once, choose pieces that are much more versatile and can be worn for any event. If you choose a muted, classic piece, you’ll be able to wear it time and time again, rather than as a one-off.

Don’t hold onto something that doesn’t fit

If you’re trying to lose weight, you may be holding onto clothes that once fit you in the hope that you’ll be able to wear them again. It’s also not unusual to buy clothing that is a few sizes too small as an incentive to get into them once you’ve shed the pounds. However, if you’re looking to make the most of your closet, this is one of the worst tactics. Be sensible and honest with yourself and stick to buying clothing that suits your current body shape. If it doesn’t fit, have a clear out. Sell it on, donate it or throw it away if it’s had its day.

Buy basic pieces 

Purchasing basics is the perfect way of making the most of your closet. Versatility is key when it comes to creating outfits that can transition from daytime to evening. A plain T-shirt from yuniont.com will act as the perfect foundation to your look and is designed to flatter the figure in comfortable cotton fabric. This is a piece that you’ll always need whatever the occasion and can be worn with a variety of separates to create an array of looks.

Make the effort to discover new brands

One of the reasons you may be in a style rut is due to the fact that you stick to brands you’re familiar with, rather than branching out and discovering new brands that are a little out of your comfort zone. It’s sensible to stick to core pieces that you are comfortable in and fit you well, but there are thousands of companies both online and in-store to browse through that will allow you to find some truly special items you may never have come across before.
