How to simplify your office wardrobe
Simplifying your wardrobe will make it easy to maintain and save you time in the mornings
Step
1
Basic clothing works best for office apparel. I tend to stick to basic colors such as black, white, grey, tan and navy. These colors pair well with each other.
Step
2
start off by clearing your closet of any outgrown clothes or those "someday I will fit into it items"... you know what I'm talking about ladies. If you have it worn the item in over 3 years its time to donate it to someone that can use it. The only exception to the rule is for evening dresses that still fit.
Step
3
Repair or alter any items to give them a tailored look.
Step
4
Now that your closet is organized with clothing that actually fits you may have room for some extra items. Invest in white collared shirts (wrinkle free), quality trousers in basic colors: tan, grey, black. A few business jackets in basic colors, slight pen stripes are ok. These items tend to have a long fashion life.
Step
5
Avoid trendy items such as excessively decorated designs, wild colors or patterns
Step
6
Add a couple of accent pieces to your wardrobe such as pastel shirts that can be added under a business suit for color. Your accessories will be what puts the outfit together and gives a clean appearance.
Tips & Warnings
Rather than investing in highly colored clothing or bold designs, your jewelery is where your accent pieces should come to play
If you stick to a 4 color wardrobe like I do, your laundry will be really easy
I recommend making a bulk purchase of trouser socks in basic colors: nude, tan, black, navy. This will avoid the hassle of trying to match patterns in the morning. The more you can simplify the better.
