This new year’s party did your wardrobe scream “I have nothing to wear!”

If so then you must immediately make a resolution and promise to yourself to cleanse your wardrobe and gift yourself a smiling set of clothes which always have lots to offer on every occasion in this coming year.

1.       Take an expert’s help to establish a personalised shopping list for any must have that you may be missing.

2.       You need to create your own lookbook

3.       Learn to mix and match your wardrobe in order to use all that has been lying in a corner of your wardrobe and never used for years.

This new yr’s resolution should be wardrobe weeding!

The first thing is to start trying all the pieces one by one and separating them in 4 different categories.

KEEP   

Goes without saying, segregate all those clothes that you wear most often. Pls remember any piece of garment that has not been worn for the past 18 months should fall in the other 3 categories but this.

But offcourse, if there are any pieces that needs small repairs and investment in the form of pair or ornament it can lie in this group. But ensure to make a note of the same and immediately act on it.

We Indians have a huge lot of expensive traditional wear which are not worn very often, these can be packed in a separate section of your house, since it needs safe and clean area to be stored. If you pile them along with your daily clothes their self life can be reduced as the wardrobe is opened a number of times during the day which can lead to direct contact of dust and sunlight.

THROW AWAY

All those garments which are beyond repair should be thrown out immediately. Anything that is damaged, stained, with holes and discoloured, throw it immediately.

GIVE AWAY

All the procrastination about “I’ll wear it when I loose some pounds and inches” should be attacked first.

Also give away the clothes that you don’t wear anymore including your jeans, jackets, dresses and sarees. This donation can bring a smile on all those needy people.

SWAP / SELL / REPAIR

Those really expensive shoes, great style designer dress which doesn’t fit you anymore can be swapped with your brother or sisters of that size. The lovely clothes which are in the perfect conditions can be sold on olx and ebay. Earn some money and buy a new pair of clothes which you can wear.

After this assortment, your next step to wardrobe weeding is to arrange and pile all the garments from the keep category to your wardrobe. Arrange them in the category of : shirts, trousers, jackets dresses etc. Even though you may dream of having a walk-in wardrobe, at least with this new set up you’ll never waste your time looking out of the clothes for your next occasion.
