If you’re at a loss about how to revamp your wardrobe in order to stay stylish all through the winter months, we have you covered. Here, we’ll go through our tips on getting your closet winter-ready in the easiest way possible.

Do a Clear-Out

It’s something that none of us enjoy, but it’s something we have to do to- the dreaded wardrobe clear-out. When changing seasons, clearing out your wardrobe is a fantastic way of getting rid of old clothes that don’t serve you anymore and also creates space to fill your wardrobe with high-quality, flattering clothes that deserve a place in your collection. From unflattering summer dresses to shorts that don’t quite fit the way you’d like them to, clearing out your wardrobe is a fantastic way of entering a new fashion season and leaving behind clothes that don’t feel like “you” anymore. One way of making your clear-out easier is to be ruthless with the clothes you’re getting rid of. If you haven’t worn an item in six months, place it straight into the “get rid of” pile. If you’re unsure of whether an item should be kept or not, place it in a “maybe” pile and make yourself choose by the end of the clear-out. If you haven’t made a decision after the clear-out is finished, get rid of the item. While this can be a difficult process, the space created in your wardrobe and the amount of clothes then available to donate to your local charity shop or clothes bank makes it all worth it.

Create New Outfits

After a deep wardrobe clear-out comes the fun part- planning new outfits! Here at Pretty Woman Boutique, we encourage creative and innovative outfit planning using a mix of on-trend items and statement pieces. For help creating new outfits, turn to the internet as well as magazines, friends, and family for inspiration. Old summer dresses can be paired with tights and a trench coat for an elegant after-work outfit while plain jeans are a great addition to any “going out” outfit when combined with statement accessories and killer heels. Once you get into the habit of planning new outfits with existing items in your wardrobe, you’ll be surprised at how versatile your collection can be and will realise that creating a “winter-ready” outfit doesn’t necessarily have to be stressful or costly.

Invest in Winter-Time Classics

After clearing out your wardrobe and creating space, it would be rude not to fill the space with new clothes, right? Arguably the best part of creating a wintertime wardrobe is investing in new pieces to keep you warm and stylish all throughout the winter months. When it comes to shopping for winter clothes, our Wicklow boutique team advises keeping it timeless. Rather than buying on-trend pieces, opt for timeless and elegant classics, like chunky boots, long woollen coats, and knit jumpers. By purchasing high-quality clothing that will go with everything already in your wardrobe, you can create a timeless and classic wardrobe that won’t go out of style anytime soon. Pretty Woman Boutique’s Wicklow clothing boutique is the perfect place to shop for your new winter classics, offering a selection of stunning outerwear, loungewear, knitwear, and more to keep you looking and feeling great all year round.

Amidst the ever-changing fashion landscape, some clothing pieces have remained timeless and can be a long-lasting and cost-effective way to ensure that you’re never left out when it comes to combining your own personal style with the season’s latest trends. Here, we’ll explain some of our favourite clothing pieces that we believe should be kept in every woman’s wardrobe.

The Perfect Pair of Jeans

Originally invented by Levi Strauss in the 1800s, the humble blue jean has exploded in popularity over the years, offering a comfortable, durable, long-lasting and timelessly stylish option that flatters all body shapes. From skinny jeans and mom jeans to statement jeans and flares, jeans are available in a seemingly endless array of styles, shapes, and colours these days. Due to their timeless design and flattering silhouette, it’s recommended that every woman finds the perfect pair of jeans to act as a wardrobe staple that can be worn all year round. Whether you love a tight fit or would rather a wide-legged vintage cut, denim jeans are suitable for work and play, and can be dressed up or down simply by changing shoes and accessories. Here at Pretty Woman Boutique Wicklow, we stock a large selection of women’s jeans in an array of colours and cuts to make finding your perfect pair as easy and enjoyable as possible.

A Timeless Statement Jacket or Coat

Here in Ireland, the weather is unpredictable at the best of times which is why it’s vital to have a great jacket or coat in your wardrobe for winter (or summer, let’s be honest)! Like jeans, investing in a statement coat or jacket is a must to keep your style looking fresh and current, as statement jackets never go out of style. As well as offering a fashion-forward clothing option, a high-quality jacket or coat serves an important function by keeping you warm on those cold nights out and rainy, wintery walks home from the office. Here at Pretty Woman Boutique, we stock an array of statement coats and jackets to suit all styles. From sophisticated trench coats to stylish blazers and cute rain jackets, function combines with style for the perfect year-round clothing essential.

Your Favourite Black or White Tee

While most fashion experts would recommend investing in one high-quality white t-shirt to add to your wardrobe, here at Pretty Woman Boutique, we think that this should be extended to include a black t-shirt either. While statement shirts and blouses come in and out of fashion, monochrome tees are a constant on celebs and in the media as they are timeless, versatile, and classic. Whether you wear your tee dressed up or down, you’re sure to make a statement and create an effortless, put-together, and fashionable look. Dress your tee up with chunky accessories and heels or dress it down with jeans and sneakers- the outfit possibilities are endless, making a plain black or white t-shirt an absolute essential in your wardrobe.

The “Goes-With-Everything” Handbag

Where would we be without our handbags? For most women, the handbag acts as a fashion statement, stylish accessory, holding device, and storage facility all at once! While we would all love to have the money to splurge on our dream designer bag, not all of us can afford this luxury so buying a high-quality, statement handbag that goes with everything is the next best thing. Whether you’re the type of girl to carry everything but the kitchen sink in your handbag or prefer to carry a simple “keys, wallet, phone” clutch, we have you covered. By curating our Wicklow fashion boutique to suit all styles, tastes, and budgets, Pretty Woman Boutique offers a wide selection of beautiful and high-quality handbags to complement any outfit and make your style really stand out in the best way possible.
