Wardrobe Refresh: Men’s Edition

What does it mean to “refresh” your style? Does it require a massive wardrobe? Plenty of cash? Drastic changes? Actually… no! 

In fact, when it comes to style tips for men, big changes come in small steps. You can level-up your style through simple and easy-to-do tricks while spending less – and more wisely at the Hearts Thrift Stores. 

Purge Your Closet

First style tip for men is the simplest: declutter your closet and donate those unwanted items that are:

• Overstretched or worn out
  •  Have holes or tears all over
  •  Lost their original color
  •  Have unwashable stains

Even if these items are no longer wearable, Hearts will recycle your unwanted textiles. By purging your closet, it helps you identify the good stuff in your closet to work with. And what types of clothing you might lack. As for the decent-looking clothes you hardly use – put them in a box and write the current date on it. The idea behind that box is to donate everything that stays in it one year after the marked date. So nothing will remain in your closet as “junk” forever.

Buy Core Wardrobe Pieces

When you’ve got a post-purge closet – check if you’re lacking certain “core” items of clothing. It might be a pair of dark-colored jeans or casual counterparts of the dress shirt like chambrays or button-downs. Those are examples of essential items you might need.

It’s important that you know which pieces make up your “core” wardrobe. They are the building blocks of your personal style. They have to be pretty dependable with great quality and finding the right brand of basic clothes is easy to find at the Hearts Thrift Stores.

But how do you choose the BEST “core” clothing? A good strategy here is to build an interchangeable wardrobe. It’s the kind of wardrobe where you can mix and match almost anything in terms of color, pattern or texture. If it’s successfully built – you’ll end up buying much less clothing for years to come.

Bonus Style Tip For Men: Leverage A Nice Watch

What’s the advantage of a watch? Don’t we use our phones to keep track of time?

Well – a watch is more than just a device. It’s a great accessory that shows off your style, whether sporty or classic. It shows you’re a man who values time and the small details. If you want a watch that will step up your style, the Hearts Thrift Stores have a great selection of accessories at a fraction of the original retail price.
