The greatest place to start is your own clothes! Knowing what you like to wear can help build your wardrobe. Looking into your wardrobe. What do you see? Are you obsessed with wearing jeans or dresses and skirts? Maybe, you have a bit of both. Knowing exactly what you like to wear. Is the biggest step! To create your wardrobe.

If you prefer jeans to dresses. I would highly encourage you to build your wardrobe with jeans instead of dresses. Having things you’ll actually wear in your wardrobe is a great way to ensure you’re not wasting your money on items you’ll never wear. 





3. Invest in your items.

I also highly encourage you to invest in your items. With proper care, they can last a very long time. And you won’t have to worry about replacing the item. 



4. Start!

To start building your wardrobe I would pick two to three items at the start. For example, let’s go with a pair of jeans. I would make sure I have at least two to three different outfits. I could make with this one pair of jeans. Of course, you can make more. But having an idea of how you’ll wear things can also be a really big help. 



5. Plan your outfits.

Planning out what you will wear with what. Ensures you will always have an idea of what to wear. Even when you feel like you have nothing to wear. Having a base outfit can help you create so many more. With just knowing what outfits you’ve already worn and liked. Building up your wardrobe isn’t hard.
