1. Look at lots of inspo and break down why you like those fits. Think drape, color, material, etc. be specific af.
2. Pick 3 adjectives to describe your style. You can think of it as what that type of person would wear, or maybe the vibe of the clothes themselves i.e. artsy, architectural, outdoorsy.
3. Look at what you already like wear. What feels like you? Do deep dives (secondhand 🔥) to find interesting pieces. e.g. Ivy is cool af but I really just wanna wear trail runners and fleeces. Who is doing that well rn, or was doing that in the past?
4. Keep it small. Hot or cool institute put out a paper a bit back that said keep it to 85 pieces (including shoes but not accessories) if you live in a 4 season climate. Theres creativity in constraint, and as a plus, it keeps you from buying a bunch of stuff you don’t really vibe with.
