You may want a new look or have lost all of your clothing in a move or fire. Whatever the case, to build complete wardrobe essentials is fun and exciting. You can completely re-do yourself just with new styles and different colors and accessories. It is a great opportunity to refresh your personal aura and appearance.
You can start the process by sorting all of the clothing items in your possessions. Get rid of articles that haven't been worn within the past year unless they are dressy items such as formal gowns or, in the case of men, a tuxedo.
Choose one to three basic colors that your selections will be based on. For extra mileage, black is always a good color to begin with as almost everything matches this shade. Choose one or two colors to go with your base shade. For example, with black, red and white are always good choices as they are strong colors that can be worn year round. Adding accessories to these will be a snap, especially around the holidays.
Separate your choices into categories such as casual, work, social and formal. You may not need all of these as it depends on your budget and your lifestyle. Some of these may work well in more than one category. For example, those black pants that may be your focal wardrobe item may work equally well in the casual, work, and social categories. In the casual category, add a black and white tee shirt. The work category may require a crisp, white button-down, and the formal category, a black tuxedo jacket with a white silk blouse may be just the look for you.
If you love sports and working out, an athletic category is a must. You will need shirts, shorts, leggings, running bras, yoga pants, tennis shoes and much more. Begin with the basic items that are needed and add more items as your budget allows.
When selecting shoes and boots, try to stick with basic colors such as black and brown. These colors are extremely versatile and work well with anything from denim to fur. Purchase a variety of boot styles including short boots, riding boots, short heeled boots, and dressy boots. Keep quality in mind and attempt to buy only real leather footwear. Keep a supply of shoe polish on hand as they do tend to get scuffed and worn over time.
Shoe styles are almost unlimited. You need your flats, heels, clogs, running shoes and loafers, just to name a few. Choose what fits your lifestyle. For example, if you are not athletic or into running and walking, expensive running shoes are probably not something you need. If you like to go out on the town, then heels and sandals are requirement for you and your busy social life.
Do not buy formal wear on a whim. Purchase it only on an as-needed basis unless glamorous parties and social events are a large part of your life. These luxuries should be the last on your list and if you don't really socialize or attend these types of events, you probably don't need any at all unless a wedding invitation arrives in the mail or you are invited to a charity ball.
After you have made all of your selections and purchases, organize your closet and any drawers you may have to keep everything neatly in its place. Ask for the aid of friends or professionals if necessary to build a display of all the clothing you have selected and sorted.
