Fashion Frustration:5 Reasons You Feel Like You Have Nothing to Wear 

We’ve all been there. Standing in front of a closet overflowing with clothes, nothing seems to resonate. You instantly feel like you have nothing to wear. I know this feeling all too well. A lot of times I feel overwhelmed at the thought of sifting through my closet. I’ll admit, I have a lot of clothes, but I feel like I’m in a style rut at times. If you currently feel like you have nothing to wear, even with a closet full of clothes, check out my list of 5 reasons why you might feel like you have nothing to wear.

Here are 5 reasons why you might feel like you have nothing to wear, and what you can do about it:

1. You Have Yet To Define Your Style

Understanding your style can make shopping and getting dressed effortless. If you haven’t defined your style, take some time to figure out what you like. Do you gravitate towards classic pieces or bold statement items? Are you drawn to bright colors, black or neutrals? 

Pay attention to what catches your eye, which colors, patterns, or silhouettes resonate with you? Pinterest is the perfect platform for inspiration. I recommend creating a mood board on Pinterest to visually define your preferences. 

2. You’re Shopping for Trends, Not Your Style

Trends are fashionable styles that gain popularity and then eventually fade away. Often influenced by the fashion industry, celebrities, and social media, and can be seen in everything from high-end fashion shows to fast-fashion stores. While many trends have taken over the fashion industry, they may not last forever. Focus on building a wardrobe that reflects your style, with pieces you love and feel confident in.

Personal style is all about expressing your individuality through your clothing choices. It’s not about following trends blindly, but rather choosing pieces that you love and feel confident in, regardless of whether they’re currently “in” or “out.”

3. Your Closet Lacks Organization

If your closet looks like a tornado has passed through, it’s time to invest in some storage solutions. A well-organized closet can make getting dressed a whole lot easier. You can keep your clothes organized by type, color, or season by purchasing shelves, hangers, and dividers.

The container store offers some great closet organization solutions.

4. You’re Constantly comparing Yourself to others

It’s completely normal to feel unsure about what to wear, but constantly comparing yourself to others can cause your style to get lost in the mix. With the popularity of social media, it’s easy to be bombarded with curated feeds and unrealistic expectations. Anyone can curate their online persona, and what you see online isn’t always reality. Focus on your unique style and what makes you feel good about yourself.

5. You Have Too Many Clothes (Quality over Quantity)

Did you know that having too many clothes can make it harder to choose what to wear? This is why you should declutter your closet regularly while keeping only pieces you love and wear often. In a world full of fast fashion trends, quality over quantity is key. Invest in fewer, well-made pieces that will last longer.

Another #ootd I bought this blazer dress a few years ago, I forgot I had it. So I decided to pair over my off white/cream button up, denim jeans and my new balances. #ootd #fashionstyledetroit
