- Make sure you have the 10 wardrobe essentials, but choose basics that fit your body and sense of style.
- Fit is everything! Even the most high-fashion and expensive pieces in your wardrobe will look disastrous if the fit is off. Get clothes tailored if necessary.
- Dress to flatter your body and complexion, and choose a look appropriate for your lifestyle. Don’t just dress to stand out.
- Shop smart. Look for sales and coupons, join mailing lists of stores you like, get to know the salesperson at your favorite department store, and know what you need before heading to the mall. You should consider subscribing to a fashion magazine to get inspiration for new outfits and advice for putting looks together.
- Maintain an organized closet to get the most out of your wardrobe.
