Stylists share 11 items you should get rid of from your wardrobe right now
Although adding warmer tones and heavier layers may be typical updates, other parts of your cozy fall transformation may be worth reconsidering this season.
Business Insider asked three professional stylists which wardrobe staples are starting to feel dated and what they recommend wearing instead. Here's what they had to say.
According to Fred Kim, a New York-based stylist, wearing baggy clothing from head to toe is fading in popularity. There's no need to rid your closet of relaxed pieces entirely, though.
Instead, the stylist recommends being more intentional about where you add volume.
"I think a modern approach would be just kind of getting rid of the oversized items and just keeping it a little more refined, or choose one area to create volume," Kim said.
For instance, he recommends pairing a fitted T-shirt with a relaxed trouser or a straight-leg jean with a looser-fitting jacket.
Wardrobe stylist Rachel Varney said booties that dip down too low on the ankle are starting to feel outdated.
"I just think that maybe it's better to keep our ankles covered for the fall," Varney told BI.
She also said booties with a side zipper can create an especially awkward gap between the shoe and the pants, which can create a less-flattering silhouette.
Instead, the stylist recommends opting for boots that come up higher on the ankle.
Fashion is leaning away from dropped shoulders and oversized, bulky shapes in heavy-textured sweaters, said David Zyla, stylist and author of "Color Your Style."
Instead, the stylist recommends reaching for structured sweaters that bring the volume higher up on the body through more defined shoulder details.
