How to build an intentional wardrobe

Wrapping up Wardrobe Week, Bec & Tara are teaching you how to transition from your current wardrobe to an intentional one.

 

An intentional wardrobe isn't a capsule wardrobe, nor a minimalist wardrobe. It's YOUR version of the best wardrobe - one that has only what will fit easily in your closet, and has all of your favourite clothes.

 

Tune in and find out how to get there!

Show notes:

An intentional wardrobe is a wardrobe that is carefully curated and well thought-out so that every item is deliberately and carefully chosen to be included. It is a wardrobe that reflects a person’s personality and values and makes life easier.

 

BENEFITS OF AN INTENTIONAL WARDROBE

  •  Economical

  •  Time efficient

  •  More environmentally sustainable

  •  Space efficient

  •  Less stress, less decision-making

  •  More ethical

  •  Mindful shopping

 

WHAT ARE ITS CHARACTERISTICS?

  •  It holds no more clothes than can comfortably (with room to breathe) fit in your wardrobe

  •  It holds only items you love, that fit and make you feel comfortable (or sexy, or serious, or fun)

  •  It has only the styles that suit you, only the sizes that fit you

  •  It has only a few of the colours that suit you (not ALL of your colours,) and that complement each other

  •  It has items that will last you a long time

  •  It has items that have a low per-wear cost

  •  It may have only ethically-produced clothing

  •  It may have environmentally-friendly fabrics only

 

THE STEPS TO BUILDING IT

  1. Define your style​

  2. Define your palette​

  3. Define your brand or values​

  4. Cull unwanted items (or flag for replacement)

  5. Build a list of wanted items

  6. Slowly acquire the wanted items

  7. Build maintenance habits​

​

 LETTING GO TIPS

  • Setting boundaries helps in deciding what stays and what goes

  • Remember that items are not worth what you paid for them, only what they give to you

  • They can still go to a good home, and be useful and loved

  • Remember that if you cull something you later regret, you’ll still be okay!
