Build A Smart Wardrobe With These Tips From A Fashion Expert

No more filling your closet with clothes that barely last three washes and then spending two hours deciding what to wear. A goal will be to build a smart wardrobe thanks to these 5 keys.

First: Think about what you want your defining style to be

And we know it’s not easy. But it’s not just about getting older and discovering your style. That too. Getting inspired by certain muses also helps you find that image you want to project of yourself because it represents you and, in addition, makes you feel comfortable.

To do this, reread old magazines, browse the Celebrities section of George V Magazine, dive into Instagram accounts that rescue old photos. Get inspired by fashion myths and, from there, build your own style that can be the sum of many.

Catwalk trends also have a lot to say about this. Watching the shows of major brands will train your eye for fashion, combinations that are out of the ordinary and will give you an expert’s vision. It is not something that is achieved in a day but with a lot of training.

Second: Make a list of what you really need

It’s important to make a list wisely. It’s about adding basics that your wardrobe needs and those that you can turn to when you don’t know what to wear because they always look good on you . From glove-like jeans to a classic wool coat, there are pieces that are non-negotiable. Once you’ve made this list, start buying it little by little. Take advantage of sales, your birthday or some extra money to check off pieces.

As we were saying,there are some essential items, whatever your style. Namely: straight jeans, a white shirt, flat shoes, a cashmere sweater, a midi skirt, a black bag and an impeccably cut coat.

Third: Accessories say a lot about you

Fashion experts know the true power of accessories. They can elevate a look to infinity or, on the contrary, ruin an otherwise foolproof outfit. They should be chosen carefully because they say much more about you than you think.

From shoes to jewellery, there’s nothing like building a capsule wardrobe of accessories as well. To start, we suggest a list consisting of: flat shoes (either loafers or ballet flats ), high boots, party shoes, a shopping bag for everyday, an evening bag and a special piece of jewellery.

Four: Learn to add just the right touch of trend

Because it’s not all about dressing in timeless pieces, a stylist knows that each season it is necessary to add the right touch of trend dictated by the catwalk. It can be oversized trousers, a pastel-coloured suit or a leather jacket. Choose the garments that best suit your style throughout the season 

Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone from time to time, either. Don’t be afraid to have fun with fashion or to evolve. Your style doesn’t have to be static, it can also adapt to your circumstances. Why not try a tie this year or a dress with very marked shoulders? Those who don’t take risks never make mistakes, but it’s also true that they don’t have fun with fashion.
