The Real Reason Why You Feel Like You Have Nothing to Wear
By Kat Collings
Do you ever stare at your closet full of clothes and feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear? Us too, which is why we were intrigued by a Michael Kors quote explaining the phenomenon. According to Kors: “70 percent of the clothes you own should be meat and potatoes. 30 percent should be icing and fluff—that’s color, pattern, shine, and accessories. Too many women get the proportions the other way round, then can’t figure out why they can’t get dressed.” Do you have too much trendy “fluff” in your closet and not enough classic pieces?
Take a peek at your closet, and scroll down to see what a 70-to-30 percent ratio really looks like.
