I am sorting my wardrobe before moving, and the number of almost identical tops has become a problem. I like individual pieces, although their colors do not always work with the trousers that form my everyday outfits. A compact wardrobe appeals to me, provided it allows a few different combinations instead of one repeated outfit. My first step has been comparing clothes I already own, especially combinations that can work without another purchase. I found a page about color analysis and would like to use the idea as a starting point for these comparisons. I usually reach for dark blue, whereas cream, rust, and dusty pink leave me unsure about possible combinations. Is choosing two dependable neutrals a sensible starting point, or would you first look for one versatile accent color? I would also like a way to separate an unflattering color from a garment whose cut simply feels wrong. I would appreciate a practical sorting rule from someone who has kept fewer clothes without losing useful outfit choices. |
