FAQ: How much should I budget for my wardrobe overhaul?
For clients going through my Complete Wardrobe System, I generally recommend setting aside:
⢠Autumn/Winter: $10,000â$20,000
⢠Spring/Summer: $8,000â$15,000
This budget includes clothing, shoes and accessories.
Itâs important to know that I donât typically shop luxury designer brands as part of these budgets. Most of my clientsâ wardrobes are built from mid-tier or high-tier or a mix of both and contemporary brands that offer excellent quality, fit and longevity.
Mid-tier brands might include Cue, Saba, Witchery, Country Road & Veronica Maine just to name a few.
High-tier brands might include Aje, Scanlan Theodore, Camilla & Marc, Perri Cutten, Zimmermann & Reiss to name a few.
If youâd like to incorporate luxury designer pieces such as handbags, belts, shoes or jewellery, I absolutely can, however I would recommend allocating an additional budget for these items just in case as a single designer accessory can significantly impact your overall spend.
This process isnât about buying more random clothing that doesnât last. Itâs about buying the right clothing that you will get your cost per wear out of.
I always encourage clients to be as flexible as theyâre comfortably able to with their budget. Having more flexibility means weâre able to prioritise quality, fit and functionality rather than compromising because weâve hit a spending limit.
Weâre building a wardrobe that works as a complete ecosystem, where every piece earns its place and gets worn again and again.
