It has taken me a number of years to build up a wardrobe that I’m really happy with. I had to learn what I needed, gradually sell the things I didn’t and start buying with purpose. There is nothing in my wardrobe now that I don’t wear, and before any purchase, I always ask myself: do I need this, what’s it made of and will it last?
Most people use the notes app on their phone for jotting down work ideas, but I use it to itemise what’s in my wardrobe. I break it down by the number of T-shirts, coats, jumpers … everything apart from underwear and socks. Twice a year, I do a wardrobe audit to assess what I have – and anything I don’t need, I sell or pass on to friends.
