How to create the perfect work wardrobe on a budget

E-mail Print PDF
Most of us shop for our wardrobe on a pretty tight budget. We also share the common hope that we will look confident, stylish and fashionable. The most important thing to remember when you are shopping with a limited budget is to buy clothes and accessories that suit your coloring, body shape and sense of style.

If you look at your wardrobe closely you will find that there are plenty of clothes that you rarely wear. Some clothes may not suit you and others may not fit well. It is important to know your body size and shape before you are ready to go shopping for clothes. This will ensure that you buy clothes that fit you well and accentuate your body. You also need to consider the kind of clothes you require for work. Do you mostly require formal clothing or does your workplace have a more informal dress code. It would be best to choose some pieces of clothing that are formal and others that can also be worn informally.

The secret to having a great wardrobe when your funds are limited is to mix and match. Here are the essentials that you will need to create the perfect wardrobe on a budget.
  • You will needs three formal pants, a pair for the evenings and two pants for a casual business look.
  • Shop for seven to eight tops and blouses for the formal business attire. Keep to neutral and solid colors that can be matched with most jackets and pants or skirts. Add three or four tops for causal business meetings. 
  • Shop for two or three jackets, that are well tailored and of good quality. 
  • Buy three or four skirts to go with your jackets and tops. 
  • One black dress that suits your body shape.
  • Two closed toe shoes in black, navy or brown. A pair of evening shoes that can be paired with your informal outfits. 
  • Accessories such as scarves, pins, belts and purses that help add color and change the look of your attire.
It is important to stick to classic designs and not be in a hurry to buy clothes that are the latest fad, which is bound to pass rather quickly. Buy quality clothes that will look great even after regular wear for a long period of time. You may wish to wait for end of season sales but do ensure that you only buy clothes on your list and take the time to make certain that they are the right size and fit. Don’t be in a hurry to shop. Once your work wardrobe is ready, do maintain it well and take care to make any necessary repairs efficiently.
