Defining Your Style and Needs
Before you start decluttering and shopping, take some time to define your personal style and lifestyle needs.
Identifying Your Style, Lifestyle, and Color Palette
- Identify Your Style: Are you drawn to classic elegance, minimalist chic, bohemian vibes, or something else entirely? Browse fashion inspiration online or in magazines and save outfits you love to create a mood board.
- Consider Your Lifestyle: Do you spend most of your time at the office, outdoors, or socializing? Your lifestyle will dictate the types of clothing you need most.
- Choose Your Color Palette: Select 2-3 neutral colors as the foundation of your wardrobe (black, white, navy, beige, gray), and add 2-3 accent colors that reflect your personality and the season.
