Wardrobe Hacks
otterhound | Apr 23 2006
I'm working on a minimalist, utilitarian wardrobe. I don't want to have to think about dressing and I don't want to help a dry cleaner with his car payments. I am lucky to be able to dress as I like, within reason. I live in a hot climate (Dallas), where we recently enjoyed some lovely 100 degree April days. My current thinking is to go to 100% khakis and plain white t-shirts. Short sleeve in summer, long sleeve in winter. Boring, yes, but totally inoffensive. I can keep the t-shirts nice by simply bleaching them and trying to keep them relatively unwrinkled. The khaki's can similarly be maintained somewhat unwrinkled and be fine. Are any of you doing wardrobe hacks? 35 Comments

Funny you should mention that. I have just refreshed my wardrobe in a depressingly organised way. I started by throwing out anything with holes and gave most of the the rest to charity. Then I bought loads of plain t-shirts and a good few pairs of jeans in the sales. The result is that I have an extremely easy to manage wardrobe and everything in it looks reasonably new and smart. Its a bit cold outside right now so I am wearing fleeces and jumpers, but I imagine in the summer I will buy some more interesting-looking short-sleeved shirts or something. Unfortunately, it sometimes feels slightly obsessive-compulsive. In particular, I noticed just last week that I had implemented a "least recently used" algorithm on all of my laundry (I 'file' fresh laundry at the bottom and take from the top). » POSTED IN:
