Reinvent your wardrobe for Spring

Get your wardrobe spring ready

Spring is finally on its way, and as we say goodbye to winter (finally), it’s time we look at our wardrobes and get them ready for the warmer seasons. Instead of buying things on a whim, prune down your current wardrobe and look to strategically fill the gaps.

Remove anything that doesn’t fit anymore 

It’s really easy to hold onto old items that don’t fit you, but the reality is they probably won’t fit you again and are just taking up unnecessary space in your wardrobe. Get all of your old clothing out and try it on, anything that doesn’t fit needs to go. 

Any old clothes you’re happy to get rid of can be sold online, taken to a charity shop, or recycled if they’re not in a good condition. If there’s an item in particular you really love and want to keep, it’s possible alterations could be done to make the item fit you properly again. Visit your seamstress to discuss your options.

Ditch anything you don’t wear

It’s easy when going through your wardrobe to find something you never wear but convince yourself you’re going to actually use it now you’ve found it again. Realistically we do this and then still never wear that item, it just continues to sit in your wardrobe taking up space. Be brutal when going through your clothing and anything you haven’t worn in a long time it’s time to get rid of.

Similarly to the point above, if you think anything has potential for alterations that is definitely an option. If not it’s time to get rid of the items, whether that be recycling, charity shop, or selling them online. 

Look for style inspiration

Now your existing wardrobe isn’t so cluttered it’s time to look at what you have and figure out what you need. Instead of falling into the trap of just buying stuff you probably won’t wear, take the time to get inspiration and figure out what it is you actually need to complete your wardrobe. Here are some tips for looking for inspiration:

• Know your body shape and what looks good on you. This will make it easier to get inspiration from people with a similar shape and style to you.
• Find your fashion heroes - this doesn’t have to be celebrities, but can be anyone in your life! You can also look on sites such as Instagram or Pinterest for easy to find inspiration.
• Go old fashioned and look through magazines, there’s normally a few different images in there as well as informative pieces that tell you where everything is from.
