Okay, so I’ve been meaning to revamp my wardrobe for a while now, and I finally decided to take the plunge. I’m calling it my “2023 Menswear” project. It all started with me staring at my closet, realizing I mostly owned clothes that were either worn out or just didn’t fit my style anymore.
First, I cleaned everything out. I mean everything. I tried on every single piece of clothing and made three piles: keep, donate, and trash. It was brutal, but it felt good to get rid of stuff I hadn’t worn in years.
Getting Inspired
Next, I needed some inspiration. So I started browsing. I started with Google, and I will search for a lookbook of a brand, or a style that I like. I didn’t want to just copy looks, but I wanted to get a general sense of the colors, fits, and styles that are trending and that I was drawn to.
Shopping Time (the fun part!)
- I made a list of the basic pieces I needed, like a good pair of dark-wash jeans, some neutral-colored tees, a couple of button-down shirts, and a versatile jacket.
- Then, I hit the stores. I tried on a bunch of stuff, even things I wouldn’t normally wear, just to see how they looked. It’s surprising what you can discover when you step outside your comfort zone a little.
- I didn’t buy everything at once. I took my time, spreading it out over a few weeks. This helped me avoid impulse purchases and really think about how each piece would fit into my wardrobe.
Putting It All Together
Now comes the really interesting part – experimenting! I started mixing and matching the new pieces with the older ones I decided to keep. I tried different combinations, paid attention to how things fit, and even took some photos to see what worked best.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m already feeling much better about my wardrobe. It’s more cohesive, more stylish, and more “me”. I’m actually excited to get dressed in the morning now, which is a huge win!
It feel so good! Highly recommend if you want to change your style, Just do it!
