My wardrobe use to be a nightmare. Full of clothes and accessories I never used. Most of the things didn’t even match and some were uncomfortable and didn’t know where to wear them. I decided to declutter all and create basic wardrobe with neutral colour pallet.

Made a decision on colour palette and keep it plain and basic, as it’s easier to mix and match:

  • Black
  • White
  • Grey
  • Denim

The bare necessities:

  • 3 tank tops (black, white, grey)
  • 3 t-shirts (black, white, grey)
  • 3 sweaters ( light knitted, cardigan, cotton cable knit)
  • 1 hoodie(grey)
  • 2 button down shirts(black, white)
  • 2 blouses (dressy, black and white)
  • 2 blazers (black, white)
  • 2 jackets (black leather, denim or army type)
  • 2 coats (warm one for winter and waterproof)
  • 2 jeans (denim blue and black)
  • 2 classic trousers (black, grey)
  • 2 shorts (denim, casual)
  • 2 leggings (black leather, black cotton)
  • 2 skirts (pencil, flowy)
  • 2 dresses (black dressy, black casual)
  • 8 pairs of socks
  • 8 pairs of underwear
  • 2 runners
  • 2 boots (ankle and knee high)
  • 1 heels
  • 2 sandals
  • 2 slip-ons
  • 2 hats (for summer and for winter)
  • 2 bags (clutch, casual)
  • 2 belts (dressy, casual)
  • Casual jewellery (gold, silver, pearls)

These basics should last for many years, but it’s important replace an item with new one if it’s worn off.
