How To Build A Luxury Wardrobe
A luxury wardrobe is about much more than clothing and accessories. It’s about expressing your individuality through fashion and collecting rare and precious pieces that can be treasured for a lifetime.
If you’d like to start building a carefully curated wardrobe full of timeless items, you’re in the right place. Here, we explore how to create a sophisticated and luxurious collection of clothing.
Opt for premium pieces
Firstly, you should invest in premium pieces that will withstand the test of time. Quality over quantity is key here and should be the starting point from which you create your luxury wardrobe.
Opt for items made from premium fabrics and materials, such as cashmere, organic cotton, wool, silk, linen and leather. Not only are these materials more durable, but are typically more comfortable and enjoyable to wear.
Shopping with reputable luxury brands is a good place to start. Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Prada are all renowned for crafting impeccable luxury items.
Choose timeless classics
As you build your luxury wardrobe, choose a range of timeless pieces that won’t go out of style. Classic items that should feature in your closet include a tailored blazer, white shirt, straight-cut jeans, little black dress and a classic t-shirt.
When it comes to coats, a trench is always a safe bet, along with flattering denim and black leather jackets. Consider classic shoes that you’ll grab time and time again, like white trainers, black stilettos and trusty leather boots.
Buying items that guarantee longevity rather than trend pieces will help you to create a truly timeless style as well as shop more sustainably.
Invest in accessories
Consider building a collection of luxury accessories that will take your everyday attire to the next level. Jewellery, for instance, has the power to transform any outfit and allows you to express your unique sense of style.
It’s worth investing in a range of simple and dainty pieces, as well as statement items, so you have options for all occasions. Dazzling diamond rings, earrings and necklaces are great for daily wear, while chunky necklaces and drop earrings with coloured stones are perfect for special events.
Designer handbags will also make a great addition to your luxury wardrobe. Not only do they look great on your arm but make smart investment pieces, as certain styles from luxury designers can appreciate in value – particularly if they’re rare.
Consider wardrobe maintenance
While shopping for luxury pieces may be at the forefront of your mind, it’s important to consider how you plan to maintain your items once you’ve bought them.
Taking care of your luxury goods is essential to ensuring they stay in great condition, so they can be enjoyed well into the future.
For example, luxury handbags should be emptied and then filled after use to maintain their shape. You can then pop them in a breathable dust bag and store them neatly on a shelf. We recommend separating your bags using clear dividers to stop them from touching one another.
Take some time to research how best to store, clean and maintain other items in your wardrobe, such as jewellery and premium clothing.
By following these tips, you can start to build a beautiful luxury wardrobe that makes getting dressed more enjoyable than ever before.
