A new year, a fresh start, and positive changes. January is the ideal time to make some fun and rewarding resolutions for the year ahead by redefining your style, streamlining your wardrobe, or embracing a more intentional approach to fashion.
Style resolutions aren't just about looking good; they can help you to discover your personal style, improve your outfits, and make smarter decisions about how you spend your money and the clothes you buy.
Whether it's setting style goals, creating a wardrobe inventory, or starting a capsule wardrobe; the new year is a perfect opportunity to set intentions for how you plan to shop for your wardrobe over the next 12 months.
Fashion Resolutions for 2024
Declutter Unwanted Clothes
Everyone is guilty of hanging onto clothes they never wear. Begin the new year clutter-free by ruthlessly decluttering your wardrobe. Go through every item of clothing, pair of shoes, and accessories, asking yourself whether each item reflects your current style, fits perfectly, or has a functional use.
Decluttering can take a while, depending on the size of the wardrobe and how many items are in it. Take your time to declutter, setting aside unwanted items to be donated or sold on Vinted. All remaining clothes should be organised in a practical way to make getting dressed easier and less stressful.
Create a Wardrobe Inventory
Creating a wardrobe inventory serves as a valuable resource for developing personal style, maximising outfit options, and making informed purchasing decisions. Having a comprehensive inventory allows you to take stock of what you own, identify gaps in your collection, and develop a strategic shopping plan for the year ahead.
It might seem like a daunting task but it doesn't have to be! The process of creating a wardrobe inventory can be as easy or complex as you like. Simply make note of what you own and use stock photos for reference, or do a deep-dive complete with in-depth information.
Set Personal Style Goals
Whether it's changing your shopping habits, experimenting with new styles, or focusing on sustainable fashion choices, having clear style goals will help create a more cohesive wardrobe that aligns your clothing options with your personal style.
Reflect on what you love to wear, the habits you want to change, and how you want to evolve your style over the next year to set some personal style goals that will influence your approach to fashion over the next 12 months.
Decide On A Wardrobe Colour Palette
A useful yet often overlooked aspect of cultivating personal style is developing a wardrobe colour palette. A well-defined colour palette provides an easy way to maintain a cohesive style, enabling you to create unique outfits that feel distinctly you.
A wardrobe colour palette also inspires a more intentional approach to fashion by encouraging considered purchases. Every item can be easily mixed and matched, resulting in less clutter ending up in your wardrobe.
Start a Capsule Wardrobe
Prioritise quality over quantity by embracing a capsule wardrobe that encourages sustainability, versatility, and thoughtful consumption. Create a curated selection of timeless essentials that reflects your personal style and suits your lifestyle.
By focusing on creating a small wardrobe of essential items that can be easily mixed and matched, you will cultivate a more considered approach to fashion that reduces waste, saves money, and improves your personal style.
