Fashion Today: How to arrange your wardrobe for quick and easy dressing

Getting something to wear these days is becoming a herculean task for many. 

We normally start from one end of the wardrobe to the other end scanning through clothes to find our choice and when we reach one end, we tend to go back to the beginning, back and forth till we run out of time, then we yank down one and dash out.*sighs*

Remember that the foundation of a well functioning wardrobe begins with culling. Culling means removing damaged, non-essential or mis-matched pieces thereby creating a clean and perfect wardrobe.

Below are four important steps to take in culling your wardrobe: 

• Take all your clothes out of your closet including accessories, bags and shoes. Remove any item that are ripped, stained or worn beyond repair. Remove any item you haven’t worn in the last twelve months (It’s okay to keep a small number of sentimental items, just be careful that the pile doesn’t grow and grow).

• Try on everything. Do this in front of a mirror. Clothes that make you feel your best will make you look your best. Remove any item that is the wrong shape, colour or cut.
• Check the fit of each item by trying them on and moving in them, lifting your arms, sitting down, walking and bending over. Remove any item that is too short, too tight or when wearing requires you to adjust frequently.
• Is this item out of date?-Often times,fashion,prints and colours of a past trend will go out of date quickly and while this does not mean they can’t be incorporated into your wardrobe,you can remove any item you’re no longer comfortable wearing.
• Take out those that needs altering or repairing.If a piece of clothing is slightly damaged or ill fitted, it  may be worth taking to the tailors. This is especially so if the garment is well made and of  a quality material like silk,wool or cotton.
• Donate.Take those you no longer wear and give them away to family and friends.it’s best to avoid throwing away if they’re st ill wearable.

Take the above steps and see sanity restored to your wardrobe making it easier for you to dress up with little effort without wasting much time.
