Once you've decided your lifestyle you can consult our Fabric care page to choose which fabrics are best suited for your needs. As you note which fabrics are ideal, be mindful of fabric textures because we suggest you limit an outfit to 2-3 textures.

A. Pick 1 base color; Choose strictly Black or Navy. Your favourite items which will be worn most often should be in your base color(s).

B Pick 2 to 4 accent colors; Use this color wheel tool to choose monochromatic, complimentary, analogous, triadic or tetradic matching colors. Your statement pieces will often be in your accent colors.

C. Pick 3 to 4 neutral coordinating colors; Choose white, grey, khaki, brown or tan variations (cream, beige, ivory, champagne, nude, sand, camel etc.) The item you wear in between or underneath your base and accent color(s) will often be in your neutral coordinating color(s).

A. Cool undertones: You could have cool undertones if your veins are blue or purple and your skin burns easily under the sun. If this applies to you, you might look great in cool colors like green, blue, purple, and variations of those three colors.

B. Warm undertones: You could have warm undertones if your veins appear green and skin doesn’t easily burn under the sun. If this applies to you, you might look great in warm colors like red, orange, yellow, and variations of those three colors.

C. Neutral undertones: You could have neutral undertones if you can’t tell if your veins are blue \ purple or green, your skin burns fairly easily under the sun but a tan follows. If this applies to you, you might look great in both cool and warm colors.

D. Olive undertones: You could have olive undertones if you can’t tell if your veins are blue \ purple or green, your skin doesn't necessarily burns under the sun and your skin has a green yellow or grey tinge. If this applies to you, you might look great in both cool and warm colors.

Below is a list of timeless patterns to choose from:

A. Plaid: A usually repeating composition of horizontal and vertical stripes that typically cross at right angles.

B. Florals: A usually repeating decorative arrangement of flowers and\or components relating to, or associated with flowers

C. Stripes: A usually repeating layout of long parallel strips that are often the same width throughout its length.

D. Geometric: A usually repeating design decorated with regular shapes and lines.

Each pattern should includes a couple of your carefully chosen colors for maximum matchability. As you note which patterns are ideal, be mindful of fabric textures as mentioned above.

A. Schedule a cleaning day: The process of cleaning out your closet will be time consuming and it's important to carve out time to avoid feeling stressed or rushed.

B. Group your items: Place similar items together to create individual groups for optimal visibility and organization.

C. Create piles: Going through one group at a time, divide items into "yes", "no" and "maybe" piles. The items that you feel most confident in or wear most often should go in the "yes" pile, the items you you don't feel confident in and don't wear often should go in the "no" pile, and all items which almost made the "yes" pile should go in the "maybe" pile.

D. Sort your maybe pile: Set your "no" pile out of site and divide the items from your "maybe" pile into "yes" or "no" piles following the same process as the step above.

E. Recast your items: Donate your "no" pile to charity, thrift stores or invite your friends to a clothes swap.

A. Organize your clothes: Arrange your physical wardrobe \ closet and optionally use an app like Stylebook to virtually build outfits, packing lists and wish lists.
