How to Create a Personal Uniform / 3 Tips

Ever since wearing the same outfit for 21 days, and then creating a capsule wardrobe for myself...I've realized how many things in my wardrobe I didn't enjoy.Now my wardrobe is extremely simple, and i often stick to the basics.And while I keep my wardrobe simple, I also chose to keep things that fit my "dress code", even though it would be easier to buy 10 of the same outfit and donate the rest.

Think About Lifestyle

When choosing a personal uniform, consider what you do on a normal week-to-week basis.How do you dress for work?What do you do on the weekends?Consider seasons and weather. I live in Houston, and there are basically two seasons here: hot and cool. That means that while I  need a jacket for cooler months, one heavy jacket just about covers my winter needs.That said, its hot for most of the year. So I needed to make sure that most of my clothes were comfortable in warmer months and could be easily layered for work.

Choose Staples

The next thing for consideration when creating your uniform involves choosing staples. Your uniform should consist of basic clothing items that can easily be worn in most ocassions. My personal uniform includes a white button down shirt. Its flattering because its shaped well. White and loose, so its comfortable in warm weather. And casual enough for the weekends, but easily dressed up for work. The pants for my uniform are dark skinny jeans, which can be worn in my office and are  obviously easily dressed down.

Consider Your Color Palette

When choosing a personal uniform, I strongly recommend choosing primarily neutrals. This makes your uniform as flexible as possible when deciding on accessories and occasions.And on that note...

Don't Forget Accessories

Accessories are the easiest way to change up your outfit without owning more variety than you need.
