HOW TO CREATE YOUR OUTFITS FASTER | 4 TRICKS
Looks: OHH FRIDAY
We spend too much time choosing our daily outfits. It's not just us who says it... it's science!
Specifically, an average of 17 minutes a day for women between 18 and 60 years old according to a study published by Daily Mail UK .
Although this figure is an average, if we add it up over our lifetime, doesn't that seem like a lot of wasted time? We think it's much more interesting to tackle the root of the problem and see what can help us streamline the process of choosing an outfit each morning.
1 - KEEP YOUR CLOSET ORGANIZED
You may already have all the clothes you need, but if your closet is messy and chaotic, you won't easily find anything to wear. It's normal and common for our closets to become cluttered as the days go by, but we advise you to take a look at it on that rainy Saturday when you don't know what to do next. Lay it out in front of it and arrange it in whatever way works for you to see everything you have.
We've also left you several tips in another post to get the most out of your wardrobe that will help you a lot.
2 - HAVE THE CLOTHES READY TO USE
Nothing is more uncomfortable and frustrating than finding what you want to wear and finding it wrinkled or unwashed. Keep only clothes in your closet that are ready to be worn.
If you're short on closet space, find a corner where you can put a small rack or wall hanger like this one with the week's clothes ready to wear and perfectly ironed. Or you can simply hang items there that you know will eventually wrinkle due to being too close together, such as shirts and dresses.
3 - MAKE YOUR OWN UNIFORMS
We assure you that once you try it, you'll become addicted. It's not about always dressing the same; it's about knowing yourself, knowing what works for you at each moment of the day or week, and having several complete outfits of that type in your closet.
For example, if you feel super comfortable in jeans, a blouse, and a cardigan on the weekends, keep your most flattering jeans and your favorite blouses and cardigans close at hand so that when you wake up on Saturday, you can just grab one of each piece without thinking, and be confident that you'll look perfect.
The same goes for weekday looks, nighttime outfits, and more. Find what works for you and repeat that formula without fear. Besides saving you a lot of time, these types of uniforms will be the key to your personal style.
4 - RENEW YOUR BASICS
We already told you this in the post about how to get the most out of your wardrobe . Basics are the foundation of your outfits. If you already know that one of your ideal uniforms consists of jeans and a basic sweater, but you don't have any basic sweaters in your closet that you love and flatter your face when you wear them, it won't be worth it.
Review your basics from time to time and renew those that no longer serve their purpose. A good time to do this would be at the beginning of the season, or after a few weeks, when you may have really identified what you need.
Now you know how to save time when choosing your outfit of the day. The next step is to apply the tricks you found interesting to your wardrobe and your clothes :)
