Buying multiples... is it worth it?
How to distinguish between wardrobe staples and excess
Wardrobe Wisdom: Stylist Challenges Common Style Tip Wardrobe stylist Allison Bornstein is questioning a popular style tip: buying multiple items in different colors. In a recent video, Bornstein, author of "Wear It Well," argues that this approach, while seemingly helpful, can lead to a cluttered and overwhelming wardrobe. "When you really like something," she explains, "what you like about it is specific." Buying variations, she suggests, can dilute the qualities you initially loved. Bornstein illustrates her point with the example of a favorite striped shirt. Buying the same shirt in multiple colors might not increase wearability, as the specific color combination, perhaps with denim, may be the reason for its appeal. She emphasizes the importance of mindful shopping, choosing quality over quantity to avoid decision fatigue. The video, which has garnered significant views and likes, has sparked discussion among fashion enthusiasts. Bornstein's advice encourages a more conscious approach to building a functional and stylish wardrobe, focusing on versatile pieces that truly work for the individual.
