Defining your lifestyle will totally direct what kinds of pieces you need for your life. If you’re a stay at home mom living a very casual lifestyle, you probably don’t need a lot of power suits or trousers. On the other hand, if you’re a working professional in a conservative workplace, office-staples are very functional for you. If you’re a marketer in a business-casual office who sits in meetings with clients, you might need professional yet not so formal outfits to keep you streamlined and polished. By determining these things, it will provide focus with what kind of pieces you need and to look for to make your wardrobe more functional.

Consider your typical weekend functions and special events you need to dress regularly.

On your off-duty look, you might want something casual or something dressy depending on where you going. If you usually see movies with the family, you might want jeans and sneakers to keep you casual cool. On the other hand, if you usually go for a girl’s nights out on the regular, you might want edgy leather pieces and sexy dresses to spice you up. If you have lots of parties and weddings to go to, you should probably invest in some versatile dresses that can be dressed up or worn casually. Also, think of cocktail hours, date nights, brunches, and baby showers you might be attending so you’ll have stylish and functional clothes with you.

Define your style preference.

Besides identifying your lifestyle needs, it’s helpful to define your style. If you’re just a beginner, you may draw inspirations from fashion blogs, fashion magazines, and such to have an idea which looks you like the most. Instead of looking at the outfits as individuals, broaden your scope to look for common themes you feel drawn into. It may be a dressy style, bohemian style, grunge style, minimalist style, or urban style that will look great on you.

Dress for your personality and lifestyle.
