Ideally, I’d take it one step additional and digitize my wardrobe right into a spreadsheet or my Notes app—organized by season. I know that sounds absurd to the majority of individuals, however I’ve seen TikToks about this, and it at all times makes me really feel much less alone. The concept of logging every part signifies that on these days when you do not know what to put on, you’ve outfits to select from all in one place. It additionally feels prefer it saves me from pulling out a bunch of issues from my closet or having to strive a bunch of choices on.
In the spirit of that, there’s one formulation I at all times return to each fall: a sweater (typically a turtleneck), a skirt, tights, knee-high boots, and a coat. I cannot consider a single time I’ve put it on and not felt good. It’s simple, timeless, and reliable.
