Build a functional, beautiful wardrobe that will make getting dressed a joy.

Wardrobe Workout

Anyone who’s seen Clueless will know what the ideal wardrobe looks like: a hidden rail of endlessly gorgeous clothes and accessories, all accessed by touchscreen and curated by a digital styling assistant.

But sadly, this vision from 1995 hasn’t yet come to pass. Our wardrobes are still mostly chaotic places we struggle to keep in order. Luckily, the systems available to help us do this are always improving, and experts have plenty of hints to help us create our dream ’robes.

Whether you’re building new or renovating an existing wardrobe, the planning phase is key for creating a space that makes getting dressed easier, rather than more complicated. This month’s workshop aims to give you the building blocks to take your wardrobe from jumbled to ingenious.

THE PLAN

A great first step to planning your dream wardrobe is to visit a specialist showroom to see what systems might work best and what arrangements feel the most useful for your lifestyle.

Christopher Martin, director of Boston Wardrobes, says it’s best to start by thinking about your lifestyle and what you wear most. “Ask yourself: what are the most important clothing items I want to store in my wardrobe?” advises Christopher. “One person may have a large shoe collection; someone in business may have a large number of suits; someone else may own lots of long dresses.”
