Five ideas to preparatory the year with an planned clothes

Clean up

Unless your wardrobe resides in the Get Smart corridor it is not impervious to dust. Built-in and walk-in robes are the worst offenders. Take everything on a flat surface out, vacuum, then get slightly disgusted at how you lived with it for so long before doing so.

Sort out

Before you put everything back think about where it’s going to go. Style, colour, foldability… it doesn’t matter how you categorise it, but make a home for every item instead of shoving it into the nearest gap like a rogue drycleaner

Fill gaps
Finding out exactly what is in your wardrobe also means finding out exactly what isn’t. It’s easy to forgo basic pieces in favour of the bold & bright, but a few smart staples can open up a whole new realm of outfit options.

Invest

Now is the time to decide if this is the year to invest in a new coat, or if your go-to boots are looking more worn out than worn in.

Maintain

If you aren’t already chums with a Saville-standard tailor and a cobbler who knows their patent from their PVC, get acquainted. Coats and jackets are notoriously difficult to fit off the rack, and even the most sculpted figure will benefit from a personalised tweak to a sleeve or waistline.
