Ashley says, “I’m a 22-year-old college student
looking to add more to my wardrobe but I’m not sure where to start. I
feel like I have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear! Do you
think you can help?”
Sure! When building a wardrobe, you should start with the essentials: a
classic button down white top, black pencil skirt, white t-shirts,
flattering jeans, a classic trench, a few blazers, dress pants, and a
basic black dress. Once you have your foundational garments,
you can start to add a bit of flair by incorporating trends and
affordable accessories. If you always look in your closet and feel
despair, revive your wardrobe with these tips.
1. Stack on accessories
Adding bold accessories is the easiest way to upgrade your look. You may
get bored easily with your new accents after a season or so, so make
sure you save on these so that you can rotate them out when you’re done.
We found a few hot accessories below; also check out our accessories section for the tea on independent designers.
2. Add some color
Once you have your foundational pieces down pat, add a bit of
personality with flourishes of color. Add a scarf to a white shirt; wear
your black pencil skirt with a purple top; offset a neutral shift with
red shoes. Or simply get a few wild card items to complement your
basics.
3. Try a headpiece
I personally am terrified of headpieces of any sort, but they look great
on the bold. Go for glamour in a turban or simply chic in a floppy hat:
4. Invest in hot shoes
Nothing amps up your wardrobe quite like a pair of eye catching heels. Only invest in what you’re comfortable spending.
Just make sure you love them!
5. Blend in a few affordable trends
Crop tops, high slits, colorblocking, and more! You don’t have to spend a ton to be fashionable. Check out our extensive Spring Shopping Posts and our 2015 Trends post to see how you can incorporate the hottest runway looks into your closet.
