But, as you start identifying your style and your staples, you have a clear vision of how a new addition fits with the rest of your clothes.
So, it all starts with recognizing those items you reach for over and over. You know, the ones that you can’t seem to dress without. For example, here’s a very close breakdown of my summer staples: solid boxy tees, statement necklaces, aviators, leopard (in any possible kind), denim shorts, graphic tees, chambray, cross-body bags, and pointy flats. So, with a clear vision of this I can tell right off the bat if a new addition has at least 3 possible outfits. Of course, it also helps that my staples are pretty much neutral pieces, but this principle applies to whatever your style is and staples are. It’s also very helpful when you stick to your staples when you’re traveling, as it makes packing and outfit planning so much easier (here’s an example)
