Your outfit may not define you but whether you like it or not people judge you by how you look. That's why our appearance is also an important part of our levelling up.
Every now and then, we need to level up our wardrobe to have better outfits and combinations to wear.

Except you are trying to make a switch, it's important to stick to your style when improving your wardrobe. If you buy things which are not your style you may end up never wearing them no matter how much you admire the clothes.
Some people know their style while others don't and if you don't know your style yet, it's not a problem. You can take a test to find out or read a blog post about finding your fashion style. If you still can't figure it out (which is ok), then focus on using the tips that follow to improve your wardrobe.
Watch out for the fit of your clothes when shopping. Pay attention to sizes when shopping online and try on clothes before purchasing when you go to stores.
Try on accessories too and ask yourself if they will match anything in your wardrobe before buying it.
If you like loose clothes, then make sure that they actually suit you before buying them. Buying clothes that fit you well will prevent you from wasting money on clothes you won't wear and this helps your finances a lot.
Take note of the trends when shopping to improve your wardrobe. Ask yourself if what you want to buy is trendy or timeless. Trendy clothes quickly go out of style but timeless pieces stay with you forever. However, check that your timeless pieces are of very good quality if you are buying from a thrift store.
If you love to follow trends you will discover that you'll be shopping almost all the time. So if you love new trends, then my advice to you is to avoid shopping a lot when a new trend is out.
It's better to buy just one or two items from each trend so that you don't fill up your wardrobe with items that will soon go out of style. You may not have enough time to wear them all if you buy so many items of the same trend because a new trend you like may come out soon.
Ask yourself if the item you want to buy is a basic or a statement piece for your wardrobe?
It's important to categorize your wardrobe items into basics and statement items. Both of them are necessary for your wardrobe. Basics are the foundation of your outfits and can be upgraded with statement pieces.
Assess your existing wardrobe to know if you have more basics or statement pieces before you make purchases. Also, you need to judge if what you are buying is adding to your basics or statement pieces in order to create a balance in your wardrobe. You can't come out on statement pieces all the time or wear only statement pieces from head to toe. You'll need basics to tone things down from time to time.
Colours are very important when improving your wardrobe. It's necessary to have universal colours (like black, white, brown) that match anything in your wardrobe before buying other colours that are more difficult to match (blue, green, orange).
Ask yourself if the fabric of good or high quality?
You need a mixture of different types of fabric in your wardrobe. Prioritize the ones that fit your personality and dressing style.
Some fabrics may look cheap and others can look expensive though they are cheap. If you love to look classy and rich all the time then go for fabrics that look expensive or that are of very good quality.
Every now and then, we need to level up our wardrobe to have better outfits and combinations to wear.
Your wardrobe could be full but you still struggle daily to find something to wear. So today I'm sharing tips to help you avoid that.
Here are the points that you should take into consideration when improving your wardrobe.

The Fabric
Ask yourself if the fabric of good or high quality?
You need a mixture of different types of fabric in your wardrobe. Prioritize the ones that fit your personality and dressing style.
Some fabrics may look cheap and others can look expensive though they are cheap. If you love to look classy and rich all the time then go for fabrics that look expensive or that are of very good quality.
Fabrics like velvet, satin (some of them, not all), silk and lace look classy.
Cotton and jean fabrics are mostly for casual looks.
Most of us have moments where we want to dress classy and other times when we want to look casual. We, therefore, need to create a balance between outfits with expensive and the simple fabric in our wardrobe.
*Note that a simple fabric may not make an outfit glamorous no matter the design. Some outfits are very pretty and glam just because a good quality fabric was used to make them. So if you are looking forward to adding clothes that you can wear out for parties and really great occasions then think of buying clothes made of fabric that reflects a good quality.
For those who stay a lot at home creating a balance between home clothes and outing clothes isn't easy because you probably don't go out much. And when you do go out it's just to the shop nearby.
During my uni days, I went out a lot and outing clothes were my priority. But now I work from home and since I stay at home a lot, I buy fewer outing clothes and more comfortable home clothes. Right now it has become a challenge to dress up when I'm going out because I just can't find anything to wear for my outings.
So I'm consciously making the effort to purchase more clothes that I can go out with.
These are my timeless tips to consider when improving your wardrobe ladies. I hope you enjoyed this post.
