Achieve Elegant Style: A Step-by-Step Guide to Conducting a Wardrobe Audit
Dear ladies welcome back to The Elegance Education. Today we have an exciting topic that will take you one step closer to your sophisticated and classy image - a wardrobe audit! A wardrobe audit is essential to achieving your style goals if you're on a journey towards elegance. By doing a wardrobe audit, you can eliminate clothes that no longer serve you, make room for new and stylish pieces, and elevate your wardrobe to match your new elegant image. So, get ready for a style makeover, and let's dive into the steps for a successful wardrobe audit.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to conduct a wardrobe audit, along with some questions to consider during each step:
Step 1: Take Everything Out of Your Closet
This may seem daunting, but it's an essential step in conducting a wardrobe audit. Start by removing everything from your closet and laying it out in a designated area. As you go through your items, take note of what you have and consider the following questions:
What items do you have in your closet?
Step 2: Evaluate Each Item
When evaluating each item in your wardrobe, there are several questions to ask yourself.
Does this item fit well?
Do you feel good when you wear it?
Is it damaged or worn out?
Have you worn it in the past year?
Does it match your current style and lifestyle?
Do you have a lot of items in any one category? Why is that?
Step 3: Create Three Piles
It’s time to create three distinct piles: Keep, Donate/Sell, and Discard.
Keep: Items that fit well, make you feel good, and match your style and lifestyle.
Donate/Sell: Items that are in good condition but no longer serve you.
Discard: Items that are damaged or worn out.
Step 4: Organise Your Closet
Now that you're organising your closet, there are several factors to consider to make sure your newly-audited wardrobe stays neat and tidy:
How will you organise your clothes? (e.g., by colour, by category)
What storage solutions will you use? (e.g., hangers, baskets, shelves)
How will you make sure your closet stays organised in the future?
Step 6: Take Stock of What You Need
Now that your current clothes are organised in your wardrobe it will be easy to take stock of what you need. When doing this, it's important to consider your lifestyle and personal style. Think about what you typically wear on a daily basis and what types of clothing you need for work, special occasions, and leisure activities.
What sort of lifestyle do you have?
What items are missing from your wardrobe?
What items do you have too many of?
What items do you need to replace?
What items would help you better express your personal style?
Do you own appropriate clothing for the activities you partake in?
Ladies, a wardrobe audit is a crucial step in elevating your style and achieving elegance! Your style will change along with your new elegant way of thinking and you will need to make room for your growth. By following these steps you can conduct a thorough wardrobe audit that will help you create a more intentional and elegant wardrobe that truly reflects your new style and lifestyle. The results of an audit will help you effectively plan your purchases and avoid spending money on items that do not align with your image. It's also a smart way to ensure that every piece in your wardrobe has a purpose and helps you achieve your style goals.
Remember to always consider quality and versatility when assessing your clothes. Don't be afraid to let go of items that no longer serve you, and invest in pieces that align with your style and lifestyle!
In Style & Grace,
