How to build a wardrobe| 6 Simple steps.

How to build a wardrobe. The term "building a wardrobe" may seem silly  to some of you but with a wardrobe it really is something you build slowly but surely. And then one day you'll have the perfect wardrobe for you. But as time passes it will need a little upgrading. Just like a house or a building. So the first thing you need is the 'foundation' and then you can build from there. I'm here to give you my advice for the strongest wardrobe 'foundation'. Or at least my opinion of what that is based on my experience in the fashion industry.

Step 1.  Basic skinny Jeans

Basic nice  skinny jeans are a solid piece to own. They go with so much. They can be dressed up or down, and they make you look fabulous. If you're not into the whole skinny jeans thing or are past the age of wearing them (I'll let you determine that) then a regular nice jean will do just the same. Jeans that are the right size and fit for you lay a good foundation for you to build your look on.


Step 2.  - A few basic tops

These are great because they go with almost everything and can be worn many different ways. Again they can be dressed up or down. They are a simple staple piece for any wardrobe.



Step 3. A little(or not so little, lets be modest ladies) black dress.

A black dress is a great thing to own, it is something you can wear to many occasions, such as: Church, a night out, a date, a job interview (in my profession all interviews or castings you have to wear a black dress. so it is a must) A black dress can go with so much and be worn so many different ways. It is another basic building block for any woman's wardrobe.



Step 4. A stand out/statement piece(or pieces).

Now this is different for each person depending on style differences. But a statement piece is a good thing to own. It can be a blazer, skirt, dress, top etc. Whatever floats your boat. I just think a statement piece is a good thing to have for those occasions when you feel like expressing your style in a more stand out way. (making a statement.) 



Step 5. A sundress/or fun dress

A girls gotta have a cute sundress or maxi ( whatever fits your style.) The pattern shape and style all depends on you and what you like and your body type. But this is a good thing to have in your wardrobe for these 3 simple reasons; 1.Fun 2.Flowy 3. One dress is not enough. ( I said they were simple.) Having another nice dress that isn't black is a good thing to own.



Step 6. A Blazer or cardigan or both.

You need something to keep you warm or cover you up while still being fashionable. Layering is always a good option to have as well.



And that concludes my 6 steps for the foundation of a wardrobe.(we will save shoes and accessories for another post, they are like the interior design of a good building). I am by no means a professional or expert at this, but these are things that work for me and I have built my wardrobe around. I hope that having these simple things will help you to have a strong foundation you can build upon.
