Getting Your Winter Fashion Ready

Everyone knows that each season requires a particular type of clothing because you can’t really wear your winter woolies in the dead heat of summer.

And with winter approaching, it’s only fitting that we start off our seasonal fashion trends here and take a look at the key items we’ll need and how to make room for it in your cupboard.

First, making room.

According to Woman of Style and Substance, you need to do the following:

1 Take an inventory

“Each year we all spend money on season-appropriate clothing and over time we often forget what we have. The constant turn around of our wardrobes means things get pushed to the back, never to be worn again. So before you go out and spend a fortune on new clothes for the Winter, take an inventory of what you already have”.

2 Create some outfits

“Now that you know exactly what you have to wear, it’s time to have some fun. Try on and experiment with your clothing to create some fabulous outfits to wear in cooler weather. Fashion is all about experimenting and having fun”.

3 Take care of your Summer clothes

“While you’re creating a vibrant Autumn and Winter wardrobe, consider your Summer clothes too. Think about where you are going to keep them during the cooler months of the year”.

4 Add some new items

“Now that you have worked out what you have, now is the time to work out what you need. Shoes and boots usually need to be replaced yearly. If the shoes are good quality and only need minor fixes (like new heels or sole), you could take them to a shoe repair shop. The easiest (and budget friendly) way to update your wardrobe is to add new new accessories to updated your look”.
