Shop Your Wardrobe: Remixing Your Go-To Winter Outfit Base
14 ideas to stop it feeling boring
January is SHOP YOUR WARDROBE month over on ‘The Wardrobe Edit’, a four-week-long content calendar that perfectly aligns with a January ‘no-buy’ or if you want to take a moment to press pause, reconnect with your wardrobe and fall back in love with what you already have. To gain full access to all the posts, you can upgrade to a paid subscription (THANK YOU!) with a limited-time 25% off! Along with all the content I post this month, you’ll unlock over 350+ posts, stacked with styling ideas, tips and formulas…
Up until yesterday, I had a completely different post planned for today. But Ardas’ comment for my ‘24 *Very* Stylish Substack Writers On What They Do When They Have No Idea What Wear’ post has been playing on my mind. Her top tip?
On those days, my go-to trick is so simple — I put something grey on top. A heather grey T-shirt, a long-sleeve, or a crewneck sweatshirt always does the trick. Grey has a quiet visual intelligence to it. It’s never loud, yet it often becomes the glue of an outfit, bringing ease and balance.
…and she’s right. There are few items I love as much in my wardrobe as the ARKET men’s grey cashmere jumper that I’ve worn 105 times. On days when I’m feeling stuck, I do tend to reach for that and my current favourite pair of jeans. It’s timeless, and it never makes me feel bad. However, it can sometimes feel a little boring, so how can we change that?
For SHOP MY WARDROBE month, Friday’s ‘Style Edit’ posts will be rebranded into style prompt-filled smorgasbords filled with ways to stretch your clothing further. Think inspiration, moodboards and a weekly video where I give a new clothing experiment a go. First up? Let’s remix what is ultimately my favourite base for winter outfits…
For paid subscribers this week:
A moodboard that you could print out or save to your phone to get the ol’ creative juices flowing.
An exclusive video that you won’t find elsewhere, where I show you my styling experiment in real time and talk you through my favourite grey jumper and jean combos in my wardrobe.
14 ideas for ways to switch up your go-to winter base. Very handy if you’re feeling stuck wearing jeans and a jumper every single day.
