It is estimated that most women tend to wear only half the clothing in their wardrobe. This is due in part to changing fashions, changing needs, and changing sizes of the clothing’s wearer. While a majority of closets doubtless harbor fashions from 2 to10 years ago, some contain clothing over 20 years old. There is an age-old technique for building a basic wardrobe that is timeless in it’s wisdom, saves money, yet is relevant to today’s busy lifestyles and changing fashions. Sticking to a basic wardrobe is like sticking to any plan; offering a guide for what clothing needs to be updated, and what needs to be replaced.

Essential to building a basic wardrobe is to understand how it works. A basic wardrobe is exactly what it implies...it is a wardrobe of the most basic and common clothing pieces worn for any and all occasions. Ideally, the most efficient basic wardrobe has one of everything. Busy schedules might require certain portions of a basic wardrobe be enlarged or reduced in order to meet specific needs. For example, a maternity top is a non-essential for a 60-year-old woman just as orthopedic stockings would be unused by most 20-year-olds. But an executive might require more suits, a nurse might need more scrubs, or a new mom require more casual blouses and pants.

The basic wardrobe works instantly for any woman if all her clothing pieces are of the same color. This way, all pieces can be mixed and matched without effort, and still look good. The basic wardrobe does not include specialty garments, like ski suits or swimsuits, lingerie, sleepwear or underwear.

The Basic Wardrobe consists of:

Evening Gown, Dress, Tunic

Blouse, T-Shirt, Tank Top, Vest

Pullover Sweater, Cardigan Sweater, Turtleneck Sweater

Blazer, Pea or Car Coat, Trench Coat, Wool Dress Coat (calf length)

Short Skirt, Long Skirt, Long Gaucho Pants, Culottes, Dress Slacks, Jeans, Capris, Shorts

Leggings, Tights, Nylons, Knee-High Stockings, Anklets, Leg Warmers

Sandals, Loafers, Ankle Boots, Athletic Shoes, Slippers, Pumps, Dressy Heels

Sunglasses, Watch, Small Button Earrings, Long Dangle Earrings

Beret, Stocking Cap, Brimmed Hat, Cap

Muffler, Shawl, Bandana, Chiffon Head Scarf

But if you are the type of person that buys expensive clothing for your child and you like to show them off in the finest thing, then it is highly recommended that you get a wardrobe area set up for them.

Karana satisfied the basic elements of survival by hunting and gathering for food and building a sturdy shelter by herself on the island.
