Five Pro Tips for Lasting Style in 2022
With a new year in full swing, many of us are feeling called to transform into better versions of ourselves. While new year's resolutions can be great motivators for change, they can be easily abandoned come February. Instead of resolutions, this year we wanted to share some easy + straight-forward strategies to create positive and lasting change when it comes to your wardrobe and shopping habits.
Here are our top 5 tips for creating lasting style in 2022:
1. Invest in Quality
We’ve all heard the expression “quality over quantity” and when it comes to creating a wardrobe that will sustain you for years to come, this ideology should guide your process. While it’s tempting to fill your cart with fast fashion or sale items that ultimately don’t make sense, opt for fewer and better quality pieces that will be in your closet for years to come. You’ll find your seasonal cleanouts getting smaller each season, and your perfect wardrobe growing slow and steady. There is no quick fix here unless you have a bottomless budget. Patience is key!
2. Find Your Personal Brand
Make this the year you find your unique aesthetic. While the sea of choices can be overwhelming, we find that staying true to yourself is key to developing your personal brand. If you don’t love a piece the first time you try it on, chances are it’s not for you or your lifestyle. Listen to that voice!

3. Ditch (Most Of) The Trends
Trends can be a fun way to update your wardrobe for each season, but they shouldn’t make up the majority of your closet. Instead, pick one or two trends you love and mix them into your wardrobe building blocks like denim and knits. This will ultimately keep you investing in classic, timeless pieces and save you time + money on major overhauls every season.
4. Good Basics Are Key
Think tees, bodysuits, shirting, and denim–chances are, you haven’t updated them in a bit. While it’s easy to be drawn to more interesting pieces when shopping, updating your basics can easily up-level your wardrobe since they’re the building blocks to almost every look. Invest in a few fresh pieces to breathe new life into your existing wardrobe!
5. Don’t Forget the Details
Yes, we’re talking about shoes and accessories (the part you’ve been waiting for ; ) This is the cherry on top of any great look, the special sauce that ties it all together. Much like trends, you’ll want to avoid investing in pieces that won’t be relevant in a year or two. Focus on timeless handbags, simple jewelry, and shoes in classic silhouettes, which can easily upgrade your look to a show stopper.
