    Thanks Courtney. All of your wardrobe videos have been so great and helpful. An ex-girlfriend of mine who went to fashion school once told me that a good rule of thumb to base your clothes on is "if it doesn't make you feel awesome when you wear it then get rid of it" and that was a huge help in deciding what to purge and what to go after. Your videos just help me narrow down the search and save so much time. Thanks again!

    Ahhhh...yesss....the ward robe dilemma. It's never ending. I think as time goes on we all improve on it. When you retire, you can almost get rid of everything and rebuild to suit your needs. The basic color scheme you mentioned is a great tip. I got lucky where I live. There is a retro store that bought almost all of my old clothes. Now I'm in rebuild mode and probably overdoing it again.

    I think out of this entire list the only thing I have is the suit. Lol!! My closet is literally filled with graphic tshirts and workout clothes. One of the biggest reason's behind is that I don't go out besides the gym. I don' do concerts or bars. Never get invited for anything else. So it's keep it simple and easy when it comes to clothes. Shorts and tshirts and a couple other things. Definitely a great video on what to get if you're social.

  • @martintanz9098
    @martintanz9098 2 роки тому

    Good solid advice, Courtney. and a worthwhile exercise. Now, once you built your capsule wardrobe, how many multiples of each item will you actually need to get? Does it depend on how often you plan to do laundry? Or how often you plan to replace worn out items.
    When I was younger, I spent a year studying abroad where I was forced to do this, and because I was limited to 2 suitcases and a carry on, I needed to bring only the essentials for the entire 11 months I was there. Even then, I had to buy some sweaters, shirts, pants and shoes when I was there, and at the end of the year, most of the clothes I brought over were completely trashed since I had to wear them far more often then I would have in a usual rotation.

    I do something like this, except I’m a sneaker head so I have a lot of kicks. With the sneakers I limited my collection to a few of my favorite styles to wear (Jordan 1s, 11s and 3s) and get those in a bunch of colors and get more whenever some that I like come out. I only match accessories to the shoes really so shirts pants and outerwear is all simple basics.

    I have found that the winter clothes are a little harder just because of the price. My advice would be to get two different colored top coats because they look very dapper and two different colored turtlenecks. If you have that I promise you will get complements because they look very clean and professional.

    I don't like Vee neck t-Shirts either. There is a hack that must be followed with your 'dress' Tshirts though; NEVER wear them to bed. You will stretch out the neck. If the neck starts looking stretched or wavy, it just became your mow the lawn shirt or sleeping shirt. Also when you dry your Tshirts, be right there to get them out of the dryer immediately. A wrinkly T-Shirt makes you look sloven. They are difficult to iron without stretching them weirdly. You might be able to get less intense wrinkles out with a steamer but if there is a lot of wrinkles or even one particularly intense wrinkle. short cycle dry them again for 5 mins. If they laid in the dryer over night, you may have to wash them again to get the wrinkles out.
    Avoid bleach, it will yellow your shirts, "Oxy Clean" works well to keep whites white, not yellow (great for socks too). And it's safe for colors also.
    No matter how well the shirt (any shirt) looks or fits, if it's wrinkly or stretched out of shape you'll just look unkempt and lazy.
    V-neck sweaters look good with a crew neck, or collared neck shirt of contrasting color.
    PS: The pink waffle knit sweater I've seen you wear is a worthy waiver of your black clothing policy. And Pink goes great with black. Especially on you Courtney.

    I totally agree with investing in top quality clothing. You'll have them for years if looked after and will look and feel much more comfortable wearing them. Others will notice also. Just decide what will work well for you and what won't. Keeping your wardrobe closet 100% clutter free also makes a huge difference. As well pay mind to what fits your body type well and keep footwear clean. I really enjoy your content on here Courtney. Keep up the good work with your channel. Enjoy your weekend.
