<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis might sound a bit contra-productive, but the first step in making your closet work overtime is giving it a good declutter. Take a good, hard look at everything in your closet and ask yourself, “Have I worn this in the past year?” If the answer is no, it might be time to let it go. Be ruthless \u2013 there’s no point in holding onto clothes that no longer serve you. It\u2019s a way to go over everything you own and learn more about what styles you enjoy wearing, versus the ones you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, let this be your gentle reminder to be eco-conscious while you\u2019re at it. Instead of tossing your unwanted clothes in the trash, consider selling them online, donating them to charity, gifting them to loved ones, or reusing them as cleaning rags.<\/a> Not only will you clear out your closet, but you’ll also give your clothes a second chance at life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who says you can only wear certain pieces during specific seasons? With a little creativity, you can make your closet work overtime all year round. Take your favorite slip midi skirt<\/a>, for example. It\u2019s one of my favorite pieces to style, no matter the temperatures outside. Of course, I\u2019ll style it differently depending on the season. If it\u2019s the dead of winter, I\u2019ll add a pair of fleece tights, a chunky sweater, boots, and a faux fur coat to the mix. But if I\u2019m wearing it during summer, I\u2019ll keep things light and breezy with a pair of heeled sandals and a button-down blouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And let’s not forget about activewear. Sure, it’s great for working out, but it can also double as casual wear or even loungewear. Throw on a hoodie and sneakers, and you’re ready to run errands or meet up with friends for coffee. Activewear<\/a> is all about comfort and versatility, so don’t be afraid to get creative with how you style it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last but not least, I want to give you one crucial tip when it comes to your future fashion hauls \u2014 always prioritize quality over quantity. I know how tempting it is to fill your closet with cheap, trendy pieces. But investing in high-quality, timeless items is a game-changer. Not only do well-made clothes look better and last longer, but they also tend to have a lower cost per wear in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about it \u2013 would you rather spend $50 on a flimsy shirt that falls apart after a few washes, or $100 on a well-constructed blouse that you’ll wear for years? Sure, the initial cost might be higher, but when you consider how many times you’ll wear it, the cost per wear is actually lower. This is a lot less wasteful, and your overall look will appear a lot more elevated too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWearing Your Pieces Year Round<\/h2>\n\n\n
