After a few days spent at one of the world’s fashion weeks and after total immersion in the world of style, fashionistas risk experiencing a complete or partial shutdown of the “fashion part” of their psyche. All joking aside, a few days of fashion detox are seriously required.
Beautiful and stylish fashion lovers competing for attention around the French capital can become overwhelming. It can reach a point at which it is no longer about style, but about over-the-top outrageousness. Simple outfits, carried with style and nonchalance, became a rarity.
For some, more inspiration can be gleaned from a young Parisian woman crossing the street carrying her cape, draped elegantly over her shoulders, with a felt hat, than the hordes of fashionistas deploying sartorial efforts to look “different” in Paris’ many hotspots.
Detoxing the body and soul after all this hustle and bustle is highly advised. It’s almost summer, and who isn’t itching to clean up and restock?
Project Closet Detox
Detoxing your closet requires time; be ready to spend a whole day alone with your wardrobe, your mirror and a critical eye.
Everything should come under inspection; your T-shirts, shirts, skirts, trousers, scarves, dresses, coats, accessories, shoes, lingerie, stockings included.
First, bring out three large bags. One can be used to throw out worn out and irrecoverable items, the second can be used to throw in items that are still in good shape, but don’t fit you anymore; are from another era with a cut that doesn’t follow your body shape; or are not as cool or funny as you thought they were when you first bought them. The third bag can be filled with items that require alteration or laundry.
Set aside all the items you like to wear and that represent your comfort zone, a mere 20 percent of your closet.
The target should be to wear 90 percent of your closet in your daily life, the remaining 10 percent are the exceptional pieces for evenings out.
