A Walk-In Closet of Hidden Knowledge
For as long as we can remember, people have had style tips on TV, in magazines, and now online. It’s a confusing world out there, one that makes us second-guess our choices and wonder if we’re truly with the latest in-crowd. Don’t you worry—we have a few pockets of knowledge that let you rock whatever’s in your closet.
1. Wear What You Love
It seems simple, but more often than not, people fall for the latest trends. While you obviously want to keep up with the latest ‘fits, you don’t want to let someone else dictate what you wear. Whatever you have tucked in your closet, wear it with confidence; being unashamedly you is the best thing you can own.
2. Follow the 70/30 Rule
So, you have an entire closet full of stuff…and yet there’s nothing to wear. May we introduce you to the 70/30 rule? The idea here is that 70% of your outfit should be about comfort (jeans, leggings, sneakers), while the other 30% should highlight your personality (bold patterns, textures, or accessories).
3. Build a Capsule Closet
We sometimes think that the answer to our decision woes is more clothing. However, the more you pile on, the harder it becomes to pick something! The trick is to actually shrink your closet and build a capsule wardrobe—a curated selection of everyday outfits you can adapt for any outing.

4. Shop Wisely
We know those high-end brands seem out of reach, but you can build the wardrobe you want with smart spending. Secondhand stores, sales, and even first-time buyer discount codes can help you shave a few dollars off your bill. Capsule wardrobes are also a good way to achieve what you want; you’ll only buy what you need!
5. Get Good Undergarments
A proper wardrobe is more than just your exterior clothes—it’s about your undergarments, too. They might not be on display, but they do play a role in how comfortable you are and how clothing fits you. After all, there’s nothing worse than lines in a pencil skirt.
