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'm a big fan of black, white and khaki. I add t-shirts in some other colors (I try to keep some good-quality white and black tees handy as well) and jackets in a slightly broader palette (a brown cord jacket, a camel tweed jacket, etc.). One nice thing about boring neutrals is you can buy excellent quality and get away with wearing it a couple of times a week. If you buy a great-quality bright green skirt, that strategy won't work as well. I do like bright skirts for summer, which one of the things the black & white tees are useful for. I get the same wrinkle-free oxford-type shirts from Lands End, and they are a very useful thing to have. » POSTED IN:
