When working with a client for the first time and reviewing their closet, many will sheepishly show me the repeating garments in their wardrobe and apologize for buying the same item in multiple colors, convinced (and embarrassed) that they have committed some sort of cardinal fashion sin. I immediately assure them that they have done nothing wrong and, in fact, have actually made a very smart decision.
If you find a piece that you like and that flatters your body type and functions for your lifestyle, then feel free to invest in multiple versions of the garment, footwear or accessory. This will fill out your wardrobe, developing a solid foundation on which to build your personal style. My suggestions for using this strategy to your advantage are the following:
If a particular type of garment is going to take up this much real estate in your closet, it better be helping you make the most of what you have.
If it doesn’t have a consistent use, then it shouldn’t be demanding that much of your budget.
Don’t just buy to buy. If your favorite top is offered in yellow, but you can’t wear it successfully due to your natural skin tone or hair color, don’t do it.
Although it’s not a cardinal sin to buy repeats of a favorite garment, it is a sin and a shame to look the exact same each and every day. Introduce accessories and current trends into your outfits to keep the look fresh.
