Most of us treat buying clothes as entertainment, stress relief, a forced measure, a spontaneous impulse, and God only knows how. Usually, making repairs and buying furniture for an apartment, we plan, think over, crawl with a tape measure, measure in steps, watch educational MC and use the services of a designer-decorator. The same story with the festive table. Menu of dishes, list of ingredients and shopping list.

But, as far as clothing is concerned, all consistency, prudence and thoughtfulness disappear somewhere. We rely on “like”, “like a girlfriend”, “like a blogger”, we buy in a state of passion during the period of maximum discounts. Let's be adults and take responsibility for what takes up space in our closet. This is conscious consumption. So what is the secret of the dream wardrobe and how to achieve it?

1. Find out what is yours and what is not at all….

Try to abstract from the trends and trends of fashion, public opinion and concentrate only on your inner feeling. For example: sneakers are very relevant lately. They are combined with everything, they are comfortable, many models fit perfectly into the base and your wardrobe ... Only you do not like them when applied to yourself. Well, you do not feel like a goddess in sneakers, and that's it.

2. Analyze the existing wardrobe

Look at things in the closet with a third-party glance. Determine if there is variety and variability? We often buy things - clones. The jeans are the same shape because they fit well and are comfortable in them. T-shirts of all colors of the rainbow, shoes of the same type. This is how our brain works, having formed a neural connection, we follow the trodden path and accumulate goods for years. The purpose of the analysis will be to honestly admit that jeans of this particular shape are enough and one. And for amateurs, you can choose different lengths, widths, textures, colors, and they will also be comfortable to wear.

3. To abstract from the brand and the price

We live in a time when fashion is, first and foremost, an industry whose goal is to make a profit. The high price of the item and the big name of the brand absolutely do not guarantee quality and exclusivity. It is enough for comparison to take things of the same price segment, of the same brand, released now and 40-50 years ago. We compare the quality of the fabric, processing of seams, accessories, etc.

The things of the last decades will be losing. But the mass market is not a panacea either. Acrylic sweaters may lose their appearance after the first wash. It is several times cheaper than cashmere or wool. Only if you recalculate the cost for the number of outputs, a high-quality sweater is a better buy. It will last much longer and its cost per sock will be lower. There is a way out of this situation:

• determine exactly what things you need
  
• their cost
  
• the period of time you plan to wear them
  
• the quality of the thing
  

4. Think over the variability of the wardrobe

Calculate how many things you can combine a new purchase with. Do not try to choose only complex, designer or basic, minimalistic ones. Everything should be in moderation. It is desirable to have a little more than half of things with a simple laconic cut, of good quality. Clothes and accessories with a bright, interesting design will play the role of an accent in the image. As in cooking, we take neutral flavors as a basis and season with spices, creating a masterpiece.

5. Allow yourself to get rid of the old

Unfortunately, it will not work to form a wardrobe once and for all. You are changing. Views on life, tastes, rhythm of life, work and way of thinking, priorities also do not stand still. Along with these changes, the wardrobe should not remain the same. Things, like food, have their own expiration date. They wear out, their cut is no longer relevant."They are no longer used in this dish." Cleaning should be done periodically. This will provide an opportunity to supplement your wardrobe with new items of clothing and accessories that correspond to the life that you live for a given period of time.



Your wardrobe, as a living organism, without attention and nourishment, can lose its attractiveness. Take care of it, periodically remove "weeds", "plant new crops" - it will delight you day after day, give you confidence and inspire you to new achievements.
