Feeling like you have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? The French Wardrobe philosophy might be your answer. It’s not about minimalism; it’s about intentionality. The rule is simple: each season, you only invest in five key, high-quality pieces that you truly love.
How It Works:
- The Core: Your wardrobe is built on timeless basics you already own (a great pair of jeans, a white tee, a classic trench).
- The Seasonal Five: Each season (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter), you carefully choose up to five new items that excite you. This could be a beautiful linen dress, a tailored blazer, a statement pair of trousers, a luxurious sweater, or elegant boots.
- Accessories don’t count! Shoes, bags, and jewelry are separate.
Why It Works: It forces you to think deeply about what you really want and will wear. It cuts down on impulse buys and builds a cohesive, versatile wardrobe filled only with pieces that make you feel incredible. It’s shopping with purpose.
