The key to looking presentable without daily effort lies in your preparation. You must plan to look presentable always. Preparation is key.
In today’s video I’m sharing 5 tips to help you look presentable always.
4. Only display the current season of clothing in your wardrobe. Most people display all seasons at the same time. If you have a small closet, this is even more problematic. Your eyes will only meet confusion each morning as you try to select an outfit. You must visually and physically sort through the out-of-season clothing to even see what you have. When you do the ten-item capsule wardrobe, this is one of the first things you tackle. Think about your closet as you would a chic boutique. If you walk into a nice clothing boutique on a warm summer’s day, you would not expect to see heavy sweater dresses next to pretty sun dresses. You would immediately think something was wrong with the management of that boutique and you might walk out. You expect to see the curated summer items. Your closet should be no different. No, if you have a large walk-in closet with room to house all seasons, make sure the out-of-season items are off to the side and out of view, separate from your current season of clothing.
5. Be okay with wearing the same things repeatedly. When you find “outfit winners” you will be wearing them over and over again. They will become your go-tos. This does mean that you might wear the same things all the time. This was an initial concern for me years ago, but I have so gotten over that. I used to have the mentality that I needed a new outfit every day and people couldn’t see me in the same thing twice. Where did we get that from? Perhaps television? In television shows, the characters are in new outfits in each scene and generally don’t wear the same thing unless the director wants to convey that they have fallen on hard times. Even when you read articles on the royal family, if The Duchess of Cambridge wears the same thing twice, the media makes a big deal out of it saying she is “recycling” an outfit. No, she’s just wearing it again because it’s normal to wear an outfit more than once. When you adopt the ten-item wardrobe, you get over that eventually. You don’t care that people see you in the same outfit over and over again because you know you look good and that’s what matters anyway. Taking this stress away helps you to look presentable.
