Wardrobe Detox
If your clothes are clogging up your wardrobe and there’s no room for new threads then it might be time for a clear out. It’s not only the ladies who have clothes they don’t wear any more lurking at the back of drawers and cupboards so take note men as this applies to you as well.
A proper spring clean of your wardrobe requires a certain degree of ruthlessness and a methodical approach. Have a rummage through your bits and bobs and ask yourself whether you have worn the item in question within the last 12 months. If not, you should probably recycle, unless of course there is a special sentimental reason for holding onto the piece.
Check your clothes fit properly, look good and that you look good and feel comfortable when wearing them. If anything fails to tick one of the boxes then give it to charity and make room for something you will get use out of.
Not only does clearing out your closet give you a huge mental boost as your life feels less cluttered, it also allows you to move forward in developing your own fashion style and enables you to dress sharper and smarter, leaving you brimming with confidence. The main target of a clothing clearout is to get rid of clutter, make space and then develop a knowledge of how to dress your best.
Once you have made more space in your life it’s time to go shopping for new apparel. Current trends for men are embracing simplicity and smooth, clean lines. Keeping it simple means you can easily update your wardrobe without breaking the bank. To stay totally on trend you can invest in a few ‘of the moment’ accessories, like ties or scarves, which help you to look bang up to date without the need for a major wardrobe overhaul.
Graphic prints are a current hot pick but if you don’t fancy adopting the look on main garments, such as coats or trousers, then look out for printed T-shirts which can perk up the plainest of outfits.
When it comes to denim there are plenty of different styles and fits to mull over. The classic skinny fits which have been so popular in recent years add a touch of rockstar to your look whereas straight leg mens jeans are a little less casual. Generally speaking, the darker the denim the smarter the look so if you need to look sharp without being formal then a pair of dark rinse jeans could be the perfect solution.
If you need to look really smart then a suit may be what is needed. You can choose from a variety of different fabrics, weights, colours and patterns so shop around and try out a few options in order to find your ideal match.
