]]> Are you tired of opening your closet only to find a sea of clothes you never wear? If so, you’re not alone. Many of us fall into the habit of purchasing clothes on impulse or following the latest trends, only to realize later that they don’t quite fit our style or lifestyle. Here are some effective strategies to break the cycle of buying clothes you never wear and create a more intentional and mindful approach to your wardrobe.

Assess Your Wardrobe

Start by taking a thorough inventory of your current wardrobe. Pull out all your clothes and evaluate each item objectively. Ask yourself if you genuinely love and wear each piece. If not, consider donating or selling them. This exercise will help you understand your personal style and identify any gaps in your wardrobe.

Define Your Style

Take the time to define your personal style. Consider your lifestyle, preferences, and the image you want to project through your clothing. Look for inspiration in magazines, social media, or fashion blogs, but remember to stay true to yourself. Knowing your style will help you make more conscious choices when shopping.

Make a Shopping List

Before heading to the stores or browsing online, create a shopping list. Identify specific items that will enhance your existing wardrobe and fill the gaps you discovered during the wardrobe assessment. Stick to this list to avoid impulse purchases and ensure that everything you buy serves a purpose.

Practice the 30-Day Rule

When you spot an item you’re tempted to buy, give yourself a cooling-off period. Wait for 30 days before making the purchase. During this time, consider whether the item truly aligns with your style and if you can create multiple outfits with it. If, after 30 days, you still find yourself genuinely wanting and needing the item, then go ahead and make the purchase.

Focus on Quality

Invest in quality pieces that are durable and timeless. These items may have a higher price tag upfront, but they will last longer and save you money in the long run. Look for well-made garments with good fabric and craftsmanship. Avoid fast fashion trends that quickly go out of style and contribute to a throwaway culture.

]]> Accessories are items that are often neglected as they aren’t seen as statement pieces. But don’t underestimate the power of an amazing belt, a great pair of shoes, a go-to purse, or a classic piece of jewelry in your wardrobe. These five accessories go with any outfit ranging from a t-shirt and jeans to floral summer dresses and you should make them part of your closet staples.

Mules

Whether it’s summer or winter, everyone needs a pair of mules in their closet. Opt for a pair in a neutral color and if you want some height, try one with a block heel for comfort.

Gold Jewelry

V-neck and high neckline shirts are basically begging to be paired with some chunky gold necklaces and a pair of gold hoops.

Tortoiseshell Sunglasses

Sunglasses are a must-have in the summer and tortoiseshell ones are classic with a bit of extra style. We suggest getting one expensive pair to last you many seasons.

Flap Shoulder Bag

Ever since Chanel released their classic quilted flap bag, these shoulder bags have been a popular choice. Transition your look easily from day to night with this piece and you can hold tons of items in them.

Classic Leather Belt

Everyone needs a leather belt in their collection as the styling possibilities are endless—they make shapeless dresses more flattering and baggy pants fit properly.

]]> What pieces of clothes come to mind when you think of basics? For us, we think of white T-shirts, skinny jeans, and white button-ups. This year, basics have been updated with trendier alternatives to the classics. These pieces are just a step up from basics and they’re just as easy to style. Check them out!

Asymmetric Tanks

One-shoulder tops have been extremely popular lately and they’re simple enough to pair with any bottom.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0ST3_gS8c/

Short-Sleeve Cardigans

Wearing cardigans as tops has been super trendy lately and these pieces transition well into summer.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B90MzrHAJko/

Split-Hem Leggings

Black leggings aren’t going out of style anytime soon, but these split hem ones add an extra bit of flare and they’ll show off your shoes.

White Jeans

Black and blue jeans will also be a wardrobe staple, but cream and white denim are super chic, especially for creating monochromatic looks.

Slouchy Blazers

Oversized blazers have replaced tailored ones and they look great with biker shorts. If you’re feeling bold, try wearing them as a top.

Denim Midi Skirts

Denim mini skirts are so 2000—midi skirts are a much classier option than can be worn with almost any top.

In Tembisa, Johannesburg, today The Duke and Duchess visited to meet young entrepreneurs at the YES hub – a hive for creativity and social enterprise. Their visit was an amazing tour of the ingenuity and opportunity – seeing businesses that varied from food to essential sanitary products for local women. During their visit, they were able to sample food from ‘Chef Mish’ – a local masterchef winner – which he makes at the site as part of his catering business and cafe. They then joined YES community members to take part in training and tests that will help them gain skills and find work. On the third stop today, entrepreneur Moss showed The Duke and Duchess the organic produce he's growing in the township with aquaponics – supplying local restaurants. And finally, The Duke and Duchess met the women behind the amazing Blossom Care Solutions – who are making 80,000 sanitary pads every month for women in their community. They are 100% compostable, and provide an essential low-cost product for women and girls. The Duchess has long campaigned on this issue and wrote in Time magazine in 2017, saying: “In communities all over the globe, young girls’ potential is being squandered because we are too shy to talk about the most natural thing in the world. To that I say: we need to push the conversation, mobilize policy making surrounding menstrual health initiatives, support organizations who foster girls’ education from the ground up, and within our own homes, we need to rise above our puritanical bashfulness when it comes to talking about menstruation.” • See our previous post to see The Dukes speech #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica Photo Š️ PA images
