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

I live in Dallas, too, so I do understand the heat issue. If you like jeans, I suggest including a couple of pair in your wardrobe, and also a blazer or jacket of some sort. It's amazing how quickly you can dress up a pair of jeans or khakis and white tee-shirt, just by tossing on a blazer. For that purpose I might keep one or two of those white teeshirts separate so that they aren't being washed and dried constantly. If you need to look a little more put together, iron that spotless white teeshirt, slip on your blazer and a nice pair of shoes or boots or even trainers that don't look beat up. As you're probably aware, often in the summer time buildings are as cold as refrigerators and having some sort of lightweight jacket does come in handy. » POSTED IN:
