Cozy Fall Vibes: Curating Your Fall Collection

As fall approaches the need for a cozy vibe to our wardrobe comes with it. We are desperate to wear those cozy sweaters and curl up with our favorite lattes just as the crisp chill in the air, pumpkin spice everything, and the cozy comfort of fall fashion. As an image coach, I’ve been curating my own fall collection and wanted to share some tips on how you can do the same.

Why a Collection Approach?

Looking at your wardrobe as a collection can help you build outfits more easily and efficiently. When you think of each piece as part of a larger collection, you can see how they work together and create different looks. This can help you get dressed quickly and confidently. Here is a step by step guide to help you create your own collection.

Step 1: Think of your Color Palette

Your closet is a treasure trove of inspiration. Look at the colors, patterns, and styles you already have and see how you can combine them in new ways. This can help you create unique and stylish outfits. If you have had a color analysis use your palette to help you. I focus on 2 neutrals, 2 bases and 2 pops of color. For fall, those pops may be darker then a spring summer pop but really look at the contrast. Want more info on getting your color analysis done digitally? Click HERE for more information.

Step 2: Start in your Closet

Before you head out shopping, take a good look at what you already have in your closet. There are often, hidden gems in there and we have more than we think! Try on different pieces mix and and see what you love and what you don’t. This can help you identify any gaps in your wardrobe that you need to fill. A good capsule of basics can really help you create a backbone of wardrobe workhorses that will make those trendy or fun pieces shine. Want a good start to a fall/winter basics capsule?

Step 3: Fill in the Gaps

Once you’ve identified the gaps in your wardrobe, you can start shopping for the missing pieces. Focus on items that are versatile and can be mixed and matched with what you already have. Think classic pieces like a cozy sweater, a pair of ankle boots, and a stylish scarf. The best thing is thinking of creating a capsule of those basics like we talked about above and then the trendy pieces are an easy add in. Always think of the 3 ways to wear any item in your wardrobe and consider making “base outfits”. See more about this with this collection I created from 1 base outfit.

Step 4: The Remix

How can an image Coach help you

As an image coach, I can help you curate a wardrobe that reflects your personal style and makes you feel confident. I can help you identify your body shape, color palette, and style preferences. I can also help you shop for the right pieces and create stylish outfits. One of the key pieces to my style evolution philosophy is the remix. We start with what you have and remix it into different outfits. Then, we look to what we may need to add. By knowing the style fundamentals first , shape, color and style your wardrobe will always work for you. It makes getting dressed easy!
