Pick a “style icon”. This guy can be a celebrity or anyone whose style looks cool to you. What kind of clothes and shoes does he wear? Take note of all these things.
Have a closet assessment. Go through all the clothes in your closet. Pick the clothes you no longer wear or the clothes which look shabby. If you find this hard to do, ask help from a trusted friend who can give you sound advice about fashion. Donate to charity all the clothes you're getting rid of.
List at least ten items around which you must build your wardrobe. Make sure that these items will suit not only your personal taste but also your life style. Doing this can be expensive and so consider going to thrift stores. You can get some great finds here just be patient in going through all the items.
Invest on your wardrobe. If your budget permits it, buy a good piece of clothing whenever you get paid. Invest on classic clothes which you can match with most of the clothes you already own. Invest on quality clothes which you can wear for a long time as well.
