Elevate your style in 2024! Here's a curated set of New Year's resolutions designed to upgrade your wardrobe and foster a more sustainable approach to fashion. Dive in to discover more!

1. Declutter Your Wardrobe

Commit to decluttering your wardrobe by donating or selling items you no longer wear or need. This helps you simplify your style and makes room for new additions. Donating your wardrobe is also rewarding because you are helping others. Consider making decluttering a regular part of your routine, perhaps every six months, as a proactive approach to maintaining an organized and purposeful closet.

2. Quality Over Quantity

Commit to prioritizing quality, timeless pieces rather than accumulating numerous trendy items. Focus on building a versatile wardrobe with items that have longevity in style and durability. These staple pieces can be in neutral tones to go with many outfits. Staple pieces include jeans, jackets, sweaters, and basic tees. This is also great for traveling to avoid bringing multiple pieces and excessive baggage fees! 

3. Make Sustainable Fashion Choices

Pledge to make more sustainable fashion choices by supporting eco-friendly brands, choosing garments made from sustainable materials, and being mindful of the environmental impact of your clothing purchases. Here at BeltOutlet, we are proud to carry the brand Rice Love. Handmade from used jute/burlap rice bags, these bags in the Recycled Collection are made from plant-based fibers, are biodegradable, and eco-friendly. These backpacks are one of our best sellers!

4. Learn Basic Sewing Skills

Make a resolution to learn basic sewing skills. This can empower you to make simple alterations, repair clothing, and even create your own unique pieces, giving you a deeper connection to your wardrobe. Start with simple stitches, or learn to sew on a button to start! As you immerse yourself in this new hobby, you'll discover a sense of accomplishment and self-sufficiency with each successfully sewn stitch.

5. Experiment with Fashion Trends

Challenge yourself by stepping beyond your comfort zone and make a commitment to explore and experiment with emerging fashion trends. Whether it's trying bold colors, unique patterns, or different styles, embrace the opportunity for self-expression through fashion. Staying up to date on new fashion trends can sometimes be tricky. However, remain true to yourself and self-assured as you explore and embrace new styles!
