Let’s talk about common myths about having a curated wardrobe. A curated wardrobe is all about having a well-thought-out selection of versatile, timeless, and high-quality clothes. High-quality, doesn’t mean spending your check, it is the best we can afford at that moment. This is a judgment-free zone.
However, there are several myths out there about what your curated wardrobe needs to look like. In this post, we’ll be debunking some of the most common myths to help you create a closet that works for you and your lifestyle.
Myth #1: You need a large wardrobe to be curated
One of the biggest myths about curated wardrobes is that they need to be large and expensive. However, that is far from the truth. A curated wardrobe is all about having the right pieces that work together. You don’t need to have a huge amount of clothing to achieve this. Having too many options can make it harder to create cohesive outfits.
Myth #2: Your wardrobe needs to be trendy
Another myth about curated wardrobes is that they need to be filled with the latest trends. However, trends come and go. And what’s in fashion one season may not be the next. Instead of focusing on trends, focus on investing in timeless pieces that will stand the test of time. Think classic pieces like a well-fitted blazer or a little black dress.
Myth #3: A curated wardrobe is boring
A curated wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring. Having a well-curated wardrobe can make it easier to put together stylish and interesting outfits. The key is to focus on pieces that you truly love and that work with your style. This can include unique accessories, statement pieces, or even items in bold prints or colors.
Myth #4: Curated wardrobes are expensive
While investing in high-quality pieces can be expensive, it doesn’t have to be. You don’t need to have a closet full of designer clothes to create a curated wardrobe. Instead, focus on investing in pieces that are all well-made and will last you a long time. Look for items made from sustainable materials or that are second-hand to save money while also being conscious of the environment.
Myth #5: You need to do it alone
Finally, another common myth about curated wardrobes is that you need to do it alone. However, there are many resources available to help you create a wardrobe that works for you. This can include working with a stylist, getting inspiration from social media or Pinterest, or even using apps to help you organize your closet and plan outfits. What is true, is that you should schedule a time when using these apps, because you will have to upload images of your clothes and such.
