Do you have limited storage space and want to make the most of your little closet? Or do you want to save some money and keep every detail of your wardrobe on account? Or maybe you want to totally change your style, but are not ready to spend too much money at once? Whatever your reason, there is a way to help you get the most out of what you have. Below are the basic rules and tips for using this method.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Choose a color scheme

  1. 1 Find the color that's right for you. It depends on your skin tone, hair and eye color. If your eyes are bright, your ideal color will match your eye color. Yellow and green colors are well set off with red hair, purple suits brunettes, and red goes well with black hair. Experiment or ask friends for advice.
  2. 2 Choose additional colors. Once you've decided on a base color, choose colors that go well with it. Two colors are enough. Use a color combination chart if in doubt about your choice.
  3. 3 Choose one or two neutral colors. You will need them to balance the primary colors. Overflowing with colors can give you a clownish look. Depending on the colors you choose, add some black, white, beige, brown or gray.

Method 2 of 3: Putting together a wardrobe

  1. 1 Buy a few blouses. Now that you have your chosen colors, get 3-5 blouses. One should be a regular cardigan with buttons (preferably in a neutral color), the other should be a shirt or T-shirt with short sleeves (with or without a print to make it easier to mix), and the third can be an alcoholic T-shirt, shapeless blouse or any other sleeveless T-shirt. Only 1-2 T-shirts can be with prints, the rest are plain.
  2. 2 Bottom purchase. With the top selected, you can start choosing the bottom. It should be a pair of smart pants and a pair of jeans.A third choice might be a knee-length skirt for women or khaki pants for men. All pairs must be without any prints (exception: women can buy a skirt with a print).
  3. 3 Additional outfits. To complete your wardrobe, you will need a few more items. Women may look for a knee-length dress with short sleeves or three-quarter lengths. It should be versatile both for evening wear and for everyday wear (depending on the accessories), preferably in the colors of the main palette. You will also need a regular sweater (you can choose either a neutral or a colored one) and a jacket (a neutral color, slightly darker than the chosen shirt under it).
  4. 4 Accessories. You will need 2-3 pairs of neutral shoes. One is formal, the other is casual, and the third is your choice, depending on your style. A versatile scarf. Women should buy jewelry that could emphasize a business or informal style in order to look elegant or, conversely, playful.

Method 3 of 3: Mix and Match

  1. 1 Business style. Trousers with a shirt and jacket are perfect for work. A sweater worn with trousers will give a semi-business style.
  2. 2 Casual style. Jeans or a skirt with a sweater or sleeveless blouse. A jacket worn over the top will add a touch of formality.
  3. 3 Experiment! There are many possible combinations with this type of wardrobe. Experiment to find your style. It may take time, but through trial and error, you will achieve great results!
