The essentials for an efficient dressing room

Let the one who never said to herself that she had nothing to wear in front of a very full dressing room, throw the first stone at us!
We understand this universal feeling of being completely helpless, even when faced with an abundance of clothes, only too well. And if, like us, you are looking for answers to the eternal question “what am I going to wear”, you are
at a good place.
After months, nay, years of very in-depth research, we arrived at several conclusions.
Here are the 3 main principles to respect for an effective dressing room:

1. Have interchangeable parts.

An interchangeable piece is a classic piece of clothing, cut perfectly, often in a neutral tone, and which adapts to all situations, even all seasons.
A black blazer, straight jeans, beige tailored pants, blue shirts…
All of these pieces have one thing in common: they go with almost everything and are wearable in a thousand and one different ways. They are like crutches that accompany you every day, giving you a different style depending on how you accessorize it.
Need a quick example? Carefree.
Let's take the lovely Sidonie dress.
If you want a more business chic look, pair it with a black blazer and black ankle boots as well.
Are you in the mood for a little more rock? A leather jacket, platform boots and you get a totally different silhouette.
Do you have things to do and want to be comfortable while staying prepared? Nothing could be simpler: it will be perfect with a pair of white sneakers and a denim jacket if you are cold.
Another example ? Let's go !
The Joyce shirt, too, can be worn in as many ways as you're in the mood.
Well ironed and with a buttoned collar, it offers a very elegant look, perfect with straight pants like suits and a pair of pumps or moccasins.
Opened over a white tank top with jeans, it is more casual, while maintaining a “business allure” side.
Finally, you can even wear it with shorts and a little crop top in summer, for a cute and relaxed silhouette.
Here are other examples of infinitely interchangeable parts:

We sometimes have the feeling of going around in circles when it comes to colors and prints, because it is often difficult to imagine which colored piece would go well with another.
As a result, we always dress more or less the same.
But if our team has one piece of advice to give you, it’s that you have to dare to use color! And to make sure you never make a mistake, just refer to the very useful color wheel:

The principle is simple: We combine two opposite colors on the color wheel, which creates a dynamic harmony that is pleasing to the eye. Example: yellow+purple / red+green / blue+orange.
While these pairings may seem a little aggressive, you can opt for softer versions of these colors, such as mauve and ecru, pale pink and anise, bisque and a gray blue.

There's nothing like a garment in good condition to always look elegant, and not to get tired of it. Some tips to follow to prolong the life of your clothes:
1. Read the label! Pay attention to the washing instructions for your clothes. It may seem simple, but it makes all the difference. We all prefer a soft, smooth sweater to a rough, fuzzy one!
2. Don't overwash it. For many items of clothing, washing in water is not even recommended. To make odors disappear, ironing is your best friend! In addition to getting rid of odors, ironing
3. Never hang your stitches. This will deform under its own weight and stretch. It would be a shame if your favorite knits lost their silhouette!

There you go, now you have all the keys in hand to no longer tell yourself that you have nothing to wear!
And if you're like us, and can't resist pretty clothes, consider upcycling, selling or donating the clothes you no longer wear to make room for new ones. The pleasure of fashion yes, but without forgetting to protect the planet.
If you no longer like an item of clothing, it will surely please someone else!
With love,
