It’s disappointing to see clients only wearing 20% of their wardrobe while the remaining 80% of clothes, with the tags still on, are donated or recycled.
The top three reasons for this wastage are quite common:
- Clothes are uncomfortable and only worn once.
- Influencers’ recommendations lead to impulse purchases that don’t reflect the actual quality or wearability of the items.
- Emotional shopping often results in purchases that don’t align with one’s needs.
Many of us have items in our closets that were purchased on sale but never worn due to a lack of coordination with the existing wardrobe. We often make impulse purchases that end up being uncomfortable or don’t complement our existing items. Influencers may have convinced us to buy something, but they didn’t provide accurate information about the quality or practicality of the item.
The solution to having a closet full of clothes you love that look amazing on you and have looks for every occasion is wardrobe planning. It’s taking the time to sit down each season and figure out where you are spending your time, what social events you have coming up, and what your biggest goal for the season is. Why do you need these answers? Because they help you figure out who you want to be this season and what image you want to create.
When you have a plan, you make better decisions on your outfits. You can create multiple outfits by having the right pieces in your closet. So you are saving money. For example, if you have a color scheme in your wardrobe of earth-tone colors for fall and you find a pair of shoes you love but don’t have anything to go with them, you don’t make that impulse buy. When you have a plan, shopping becomes easier because if you see something you like, you know immediately if it can work with multiple pieces in your wardrobe.
Imagine a closet without the burden of unworn items. With better planning, this could be a reality. By carefully considering what we truly need in our closets, regardless of our size, and creating a color scheme that works for us, we can save time, reduce stress, and stop wasting money. This is the value of effective wardrobe planning.
