It's a change of season, and it's that magical moment again - open the wardrobe, it's full, but my heart is empty, and I always wonder what I was wearing last year? How did you spend the season last year? Looking at the wardrobe again, it seems that there is only a bunch of "outdated models" in my eyes.
The most puzzling thing is that I have been buying clothes every year, but after so many years, why do I still feel that I have no clothes to wear, is it because my aesthetics are changing too fast, and the clothes can't keep up with the rhythm?
It's a truly love-hate experience, what went wrong? Today, let's solve this problem together, and say goodbye to the embarrassing situation of spending money indiscriminately but not finding suitable clothes to wear!
First: Organizing your wardrobe is more important than how many clothes you buy
In the fast-paced modern life, middle-aged women often face the dual pressure of work and family, and the wardrobe, this seemingly inconspicuous space, can often become a "secret garden" for us to release pressure and find our own style, after all, who doesn't pursue beautiful things? Who doesn't love to wear pretty, good-looking clothes?
However, many times, we are so obsessed with buying new clothes that we lose sight of the importance of organizing our wardrobe. For us, tidying up your wardrobe is far more important than blindly buying clothes.
As we grow older, our body shape and temperament will change, and those former favorites may no longer suit us. By tidying up our wardrobe regularly, we can have a clear understanding of our dressing needs and style, and avoid blindly following trends.
(1) Classified by type and seasonality
First of all, the clothing is divided into several categories such as tops, pants, skirts, etc., and then subdivided into several subcategories such as T-shirts, shirts, sweaters, etc., and each piece of clothing is classified.
Then, according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, arrange the clothes in an orderly manner. Light clothing can be stored in easy access in summer, while heavy coats can be tucked away in the back of your wardrobe or at the top of your wardrobe. When the seasons change, you can easily adapt to the change of seasons by simply adjusting the position of your clothes. This sorts your wardrobe more organised, and it also saves us time by quickly finding the right match for a busy morning.
(2) Eliminate textureless and outdated clothes
One of the most important aspects of the wardrobe decluttering process is the courage to get rid of clothes that have lost their texture and become outdated. How can you accurately tell if a garment has lost its texture and is outdated? Here are a few ways to start:
Tip 1: Observe the material and workmanship
Clothes with good texture are usually made of high-quality materials, feel comfortable in the hand, and have a good wearing experience. At the same time, the workmanship is fine, the thread end is smooth and flawless.
If the material of the garment is coarse, easy to pilling, deformed or faded, the workmanship is rough, the threads are exposed or the stitches are not neatly sewn, it may have lost its texture.
Tip 2: Observe the style and design
Fashion trends change quickly, but classic styles often don't go out of style. If the style of the clothes is too exaggerated, peculiar, or the design elements are obviously outdated, such as overly complicated patterns, outdated cuts, etc., it may no longer be in line with the current aesthetic trend.
Tip 3: Feel the effect and comfort of wearing
Once you've put on your clothes, look for a good fit, a decent cut, and how comfortable they are to wear. If the fit is not good, the cut is not reasonable, or if you feel tight and uncomfortable when wearing it, then it is likely that the garment is no longer suitable for further wear.
Clothes without texture, no matter how novel the style, can hardly hide the inherent cheapness of the clothes. Wearing them on our bodies not only does not enhance our image, but may make us look less sophisticated. And outdated clothes are no longer in line with current fashion trends, and keeping them will only clutter up your wardrobe.
Therefore, when it comes to organizing our wardrobes, we need to have the courage to give up. Weed out clothes that no longer fit us, have lost their texture and are outdated, and make room for those that really stand out and fit our style.
(3) Match the sorted clothes
Opt for a basic white long-sleeved pair with high-waisted wide-leg jeans for a simple yet stylish look for everyday travel.
Or combine a feminine knit with a skirt for a feminine charm that is perfect for family gatherings.
Don't forget to add a highlight with accessories, such as a delicate necklace and a stylish hat.
This combination not only makes every piece of clothing give full play to its value, but also makes our every day full of freshness and expectation.
Second: Think twice before buying clothes and reduce impulsive spending
(1) Make a shopping list
Before you shop for the season, you can make a list of the types of clothes you want to buy to avoid being attracted by unnecessary items during the shopping process. At the same time, you can also set a clear budget before each purchase to ensure that you do not overspend, so that you can choose products more rationally and avoid impulse purchases.
(2) Choose more classic styles when buying clothes
For example, trench coats, sweaters, jeans, etc., which are not limited by the season and can be matched with a variety of styles, which can improve the durability and practicality of clothing.
(3) Cultivate the concept of rational consumption
Method 1: Distinguish between what you need and what you want
Necessity is the desire to shop based on actual needs, such as a lack of warm jackets or formal attire. Wanting, on the other hand, is more out of whim or impulse, such as the blind pursuit of a certain popular dress. Satisfying "wants" may bring short-term happiness, but it is likely to be wasteful because it is not practical.
Therefore, before shopping, we should think calmly, clarify our real needs, and avoid being confused by "wanting".
Method 2: Pay attention to the quality of your clothes
Good quality clothes are not only comfortable to wear, but also can withstand repeated washing. Whether it's fit, color or durability, it's all satisfying. In contrast, although the price of poor quality clothes is attractive, it often has various problems soon after wearing, such as deformation, fading, damage, etc., and can only be thrown away in these situations, which is actually very cost-effective.
Therefore, when choosing clothes, we should focus on quality, rather than just quantity and fashion, which can help us save more money and avoid waste.
Third: learn the matching skills, the shape is changeable, and the charm is infinite
(1) Learn dressing skills
Practical dressing skills are essential to enhance one's image and temperament. Here are some practical dressing tips that we hope will help you.
Tip 1: Match colors
Basic color matching: Black, white, and gray are the basic colors, which are easy to match and not easy to make mistakes. You can try classic combinations such as black + white, gray + white, etc.
Tip 2: Match skin tones
White skin color is suitable for bright colors such as light yellow, light pink, lake green, etc., which makes it more youthful and vibrant. For yellowish skin tones, try light and dark colors, and avoid colors such as greens and royal blue that are too bright. Darker skin tones are suitable for low saturation and warm tones, such as turmeric, haze blue, etc., and avoid black or fluorescent colors all over the body.
Tip 3: Choose a style based on your body shape
Pear-shaped figure: Choose a loose top to divert attention, dark bottoms to look slimmer, and an A-line skirt or straight-leg pants to flatter your figure.
Inverted triangle figure: Loose bottoms balance the upper and lower body proportions, and V-neck tops reduce the width of the upper body.
Hourglass body: Choose colors with large color differences above the waist and below the waist to form a noticeable waistline visually.
H-shaped: A tunic or top accentuates the waistline, and high-waisted pants or skirts raise the waistline.
Apple-shaped figure: Choose a V-neck or open-neck top to elongate the upper body and pair with high-waisted pants or skirts.
(2) Discover new ways to wear old clothes
Here are some practical tips on how to get the most out of your old clothes.
Tip 1: Mix and match styles
Don't stick to one style, try to mix and match different styles of clothing. For example, pairing a casual t-shirt with a formal blazer or a skirt with heels can create a unique sense of style.
Tip 2: Add accessories
Accessories are the key to elevating the sophistication of your outfit. Try adding some trendy accessories to your old clothes, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hats, etc., to make the overall look even more colorful.
Tip 3: Layering
In autumn and winter, try layering. Layering multiple pieces of clothing on top of each other not only keeps you warm, but also creates a rich sense of layering. For example, a shirt over white long sleeves and a trench coat over the shirt can create a stylish pre-fall look.
(3) Choose a style that suits you
First of all, you need to understand your body characteristics, skin color, and personal temperament. Observe your daily preferences and lifestyle, and determine whether it is generous and simple, retro or fashion-forward. Refer to fashion articles or celebrity outfits, but keep yourself to yourself and don't blindly follow trends.
Try on different styles of clothes and find the best fit for you through practice. Whichever style you choose, stay confident and comfortable, and make it a way to show off who we are.
By organizing our wardrobe, spending wisely, matching smartly, and buying basic and trendy items appropriately, we can not only solve the problem of not having clothes to wear during the change of seasons, but also show a variety of styles in the changing seasons. Let's try it! Let the outfit flow with the season, I hope everyone can enjoy the fun of fashion on the way to learn to dress!
