5 Ways To Create A Versatile Wardrobe You Feel Confident About During Weight Fluctuations

If you feel completely unsure of what fits you and suits your style in your current wardrobe, it's time to do an overhaul. Make three piles — keep, alter, and sell/donate. 

It's pretty self-explanatory, but just in case: The keep pile is for everything you feel good in and that will probably fit throughout weight fluctuations (i.e. items with an elasticated waist, loose dresses, flowy tops, etc.). Decide to alter pieces that could fit you a little better (a dress that would look better if it was a bit shorter, some trousers you had taken in but need to be let back out). Finally, either sell or donate items that are a complete no-go. This can be clothing pieces you don't feel good in, or items that don't fit and can't be tailored.

Clothes can often hold a lot of emotion for us, so don't feel pressured to sort everything at once. Instead, go through your closet section by section — you could do pants one day and tops the next. The key is to leave yourself with a wardrobe that will see you through weight gain and loss.
