5 ways to quickly sort out your wardrobe to start the new year on the right foot: tips from the stylist

When the amount of unnecessary things in the wardrobe reaches its peak, it becomes difficult to navigate your own affairs and compose even the simplest images. In this case, you have to review your purchases and clear the space. Such unloading is a perfect opportunity to analyze your style and understand which things will never see the light of day and which need to be moved to the nearest shelf. We’ve rounded up 5 tips from a stylist that will make the “reboot” process easier for you.

Evelina Khromchenko advises to start by dividing all your belongings into categories (hoodies, jeans, sweaters, etc.), then organizing the clothes by color. Perhaps in one of the categories you will notice repetitions. A few voluminous sweaters in dark shades, a few light-colored T-shirts – all these coincidences significantly overload the wardrobe. Among a number of similar things, we recommend that you choose only one, the most appreciated and relevant. Otherwise, by collecting images of different models, there is a chance to always look the same.

If you’re unsure whether you need this or that, use the three-frame rule. Try making three different outfits with the subject of your doubts. If you are successful, you can safely leave the thing in the wardrobe, and if not, this is a sign that it does not match your style and lifestyle.

Sometimes we wear certain things so often that we get used to them like a good friend. It seems that they have already settled in our closet forever, but we must not forget that wardrobe items always have an expiration date. It is undeniable that the T-shirt immediately after purchase and after 5 years of use looks completely different. The dull color of fabric, bobbins or even “stretch marks” on objects is the very red flag that cannot be ignored. Moving models into the domestic model category is also not an option. Instead of postponing a painful separation, we advise you to say goodbye to the “overdue” thing as soon as possible.

If you doubt that your clothes fit you well, it’s time to look at yourself from the outside. We offer a short photo shoot to assess fit and condition from all angles. What looks great in the front doesn’t always excite the same in the back, and we want you to look great 360 degrees. By looking at your photos, you can objectively assess how well the outfit suits you and whether it will be suitable for a real photo shoot in the future.

Maybe it’s time to stop saving things for “better times” when you lose or gain weight. Models that are not suitable for you in size take up valuable space in the closet in vain. There is no guarantee that this thing will sit well on the figure when you see the precious figure on the scale. Such “unfulfilled hopes” create the appearance of a full wardrobe, but in no way help you compile images in real life. Make no mistake and stop waiting for the right moment to look stylish. By choosing real things of your size, you will look beautiful now!
