One important key to creating a simplified wardrobe is to make sure everything in it fits you well. An ill fitting garment is sure to stay in the back of the closet and to make you squirm a bit if you do end up wearing it. And a simple style wardrobe has no room for a piece that is not worn regularly (except of course special occasion wear). But finding well fitting clothes can be a frustrating experience.
MyShape is a website store that helps you find clothes that fit your body perfectly and meet your style preferences. This is how it works. To create your own personal store you take detailed body measurements and answer questions about what types of things you like to wear. Then voila! The site creates your own “personal shop” full of clothing choices that they say will fit you beautifully and meet your style requirements.
The process of answering the questions and taking the measurements to set up a “shop” took me about a half hour. Once you have completed the survey you are provided several web pages of garments that have been selected to fit you properly and to match your style preferences. One limitation is that the site does not take into consideration your color preferences when choosing garments for you to consider. They may add that refinement in the future.
The MyShape web store carries over 200 designers some of which use organic and sustainable fabrics such as Blue Canoe, Jonano and Eileen Fisher. The wide selection of designers helps to keep your “shop” well stocked.
In addition to providing you with personal shopping options, MyShape also puts you into one of seven body shape categories based upon the information you provide. The site provides general tips and ideas for dressing options, cuts and styles that look good on your body type.
MyShape could be a useful tool in creating a simplified wardrobe because it does some of the heavy lifting for you. Its purpose is to find styles that flatter and sizes that fit you. Since fit and attractiveness are two keys to building a simple style wardrobe, you may want to make use of this resource.
