Build Your Dream Autumn Closet (Without Spending a Thing)

I know the feeling. Our closets right now are a total mess. A chaotic mix of summer pieces we can’t let go of and random warm layers we’re desperately throwing on. But before you buy something new, let’s hit reset.

Here’s how you can build your dream autumn closet with what you already have and a little help from your besties. Because sustainable fashion doesn’t mean sacrificing style, it means making smarter choices with what you already own.

Step 1: A closet clear out

Take everything out of your closet. Yes, everything. Separate into tops, trousers, jackets, etc. Lay it all out where you can see it.

Pro tip: this helps you spot combos you’d forgotten about. That shirt might look fire layered over a tee or that hoodie could work under a leather jacket. Autumn fashion is all about layers.

Step 2: Style new combos

This is where the magic happens. Start mixing and matching. Maybe a summer tee under a chunky knit, or an oversized shirt as a jacket. You’ll surprise yourself with how many new fits you can create without spending a penny.

This is affordable autumn fashion at its best: using what you already own to create fresh looks.

Step 3: Accessorise everything

Accessories are your autumn superpower. Add a chunky scarf, glasses, gloves, beanie or a belt. The smallest tweak can turn your “meh” outfit into a main character fit.

Step 4: Borrow before you buy

Flatmate’s oversized jumper? Bestie’s boots? Borrow it! CloSh will make sharing easy.

This is why sustainable fashion is important. Instead of constantly buying new clothes, we can extend the life of clothes by sharing them, saving the planet and money. Why not try?

Step 5: Build your capsule

You don’t need 50 items. A few autumn fashion essentials can mix and match with borrowed statement pieces. Here’s some essentials we know are part of the autumn fashion trends this year:

• Trench coat
• Suede jacket
• Cow print
• Leather jacket
• Oversized knit
• Biker boot

Your dream closet doesn’t need new clothes. It just needs a little creativity, a few swaps and maybe your bestie’s knit. With CloSh, you can unlock the full potential of your wardrobe and embrace sustainable fashion in a way that feels fun and affordable.
