New Year, New Wardrobe! How to Start Fresh with Your Fashion in 2023

It’s out with the old and in with the new “” 2023 is finally here! Now is when many of us are motivated to make a fresh start and try new things, and that includes our clothing choices. The good news is that building a new-to-you wardrobe is easy with a little help from Ohio Valley Goodwill!

Check out our tips to get started:

#1: Clear Out the Clutter

A new year calls for a clean, organized closet. If it’s been a while since you last sorted through your clothing, shoes, and accessories, now is the time! As you declutter, make a donation pile for any items that you no longer want, use, or need. This might include clothes that don’t quite fit anymore, forgotten accessories, and even items with tags that you never got around to wearing.

When you’re ready, bring your donations to Ohio Valley Goodwill, where they’ll be given a new life and purpose. Clearing out the extra ” stuff” that’s taking up space in your closet will give you more breathing room to build a wardrobe filled with pieces you really love!

#2: Stock Up on Essentials

Once you have a clutter-free closet, you can focus on replenishing your supply of go-to outfits. Luckily, Goodwill makes it easy to find amazing items at affordable prices.

Start with the essentials for any wardrobe, such as plain t-shirts, button-downs, and jeans. If you’re interested in building a capsule wardrobe, start curating a small selection of high-quality basics, including blouses, black slacks or skirts, and layers like cardigan sweaters and blazers. Stick with ” timeless” cuts and styles over trendy items, and you’ll have a wardrobe that’s built to last.

#3: Get Personal
