What's missing from my wardrobe?

It seems like putting together outfits for your outings is quite challenging, even though you have a lot of clothes. Maybe it's time to consider adding something new to your wardrobe?

 Achieving style is not about having countless clothes in your wardrobe. It's more about making the right choices and combinations. However, men are often more concerned with ease of dressing for any occasion than following fashion rules. That's why having a functional wardrobe is crucial.

According to Mr Porter's Journal, a functional wardrobe is like a football team. It's not just about having many pieces of clothing, but rather having efficient, varied and well-coordinated pieces. As Spring arrives and the weather gets better, it's the perfect time to adjust your wardrobe to make it even more functional.

In the following sections, we will explore how you can identify what's missing in your wardrobe, how you can fill those gaps and how you can make your life easier with simple yet stylish combinations.

How to identify wardrobe gaps?

It's important to keep in mind that your wardrobe will never be fully complete and there will always be something missing. Your desires, body, fashion trends, and other factors will continually create gaps in your wardrobe. However, it's essential to recognize that you don't need every piece of clothing to have a functional wardrobe. That's why fashion experts suggest starting with the basics and building your wardrobe from there. Even if you have a bold and modern style, simple and versatile pieces will always have a place in your collection. Investing in high-quality clothes with excellent fabrics can help you elevate your wardrobe to the next level.

Believe it or not, the first place to look when shopping for new clothing is your closet. You can figure out what you're missing, which pieces can complement each other, and which outfits you struggle to put together. Reorganizing your closet can help you understand what you already have and what you need to add. When shopping, it's best to either create complete outfits or avoid purchasing items that don't fit your style or match your wardrobe.

One option to improve your wardrobe is to seek advice from an expert or personal shopper if you have the financial means. However, it's possible that the root of the problem may be your tendency to repeatedly purchase similar items. It's worth considering the countless pieces in your closet that you've never worn, like bell bottoms, pleated shirts, and vests. Why not try incorporating them into your outfits?
