Always buying clothes but never have anything to wear? Step by step instructions on how to develop a wardrobe。

買了很多衣服，在穿的時候卻不知道該穿什么？本篇文章中，我們會一步一步教你怎樣打造屬于自己的衣櫥。

Here's How:

 方法如下：

1. Stop impulse buying. Every $10 mistake you would have picked up in the bargain bin goes to a really great wardrobe.

不要沖動購物。即使是10美元的錯誤購買也會迅速加大你的衣柜的負荷。

2. In the first step of cleaning out your closet, eliminate everything that doesn't fit or that you haven't worn in a year.

第一步是清理衣柜，將不合適的，或你一年沒有穿過的衣服扔掉。

3. A few weeks later, go back and get rid of all the stuff you fudged on the first time around.

一周后，回去把你之前第一輪清理中該扔沒舍得扔的衣服再清理一次。

4. With what's left, begin identifying a theme to your wardrobe, relying on favorite looks, colors and lifestyle pieces.

根據你最愛的打扮，顏色以及生活方式，為你清理過的衣柜確定一個主題風格。

5. Decide on three colors that either match or will coordinate with what you own and buy only those three colors for apparel.

定下三種和你現有衣服搭配或協調的顏色，以后也只買這三種顏色的衣服。

6. Establish a workable budget.

做一個可行的衣服購置預算。

7. Make a list of all the items you need in your wardrobe. (For example: solid blazer, wool pants, white shirt)

將你需要購買的衣服列一份清單(例如：運動夾克，羊毛褲，白襯衣等)。

8. Set aside an hour of time each week to shop -- online or off.

每周空出一個小時來購物——網上購物或去商店都可以。

9. Avoid trendy items.

不要購買最新潮的衣服。

10. Buy clothing that will span two to three seasons -- like wool crepe or matte jersey.

挑選可以跨季穿的衣服---如羊毛縐紋呢，無光針織物等。

11. Purchase only clothes that work with something that you already own.

只購買與你現有衣服相搭配的衣服。

12. Pass on anything that doesn't fit -- no matter how great a buy.

再便宜的衣服，不合適的堅決不買。

13.Try to add only one or two well-thought out items per month.

每個月增添一到兩件符合你衣櫥風格的好衣服。

14. Add punchy color and trendiness with accessories, shoes and handbags.

通過配飾，鞋子，手提包的搭配來增添色彩的沖擊，讓你看起來更時尚。

15.Continually eliminate and replace essential wardrobe pieces once it is built up so that you are never caught without a necessary item.

不斷淘汰和更新衣柜中的基本衣物，一旦衣櫥的基調確定了，你就不會沒有衣服穿了。

Tips:

小貼士：

1.Ignore that advice about buying "the best" of everything. Regardless of how well-made a garment is, moths, coffee spills and kids take their toll. Never choose between a mortgage payment and a cashmere sweater.

不要去理會那些“要買就買最好的”建議。做工再精良的衣服，也可能會被蛀蟲咬，沾上咖啡漬，或被小孩扯壞。不要貸款去買一件開士米毛衣。

2.Try to plan your wardrobe around three neutral colors like black, white, khaki, navy or brown.

選擇三種中性色的衣服，如黑色，白色，卡其色，藏青色或棕色。

3. Buy more solids than prints - you won't get tired of them as quickly.

多買純色的衣服，少買印花的衣服，因為純色的衣服比較耐穿。
