Answers: How do I build a wardrobe and buy better clothes that actually fit my style?

• Wardrobe fundamentals
• Clothing fit and measurements
• PVP filter system
• Buying better clothes
• Theoretical vs practical fashion

What it concludes

• Fit is the most important fundamental of clothing, and bad fit ruins even high-quality pieces.
• Measurements are the key to ensuring clothes fit properly, taking only 5 minutes.
• Buying clothes on sale or below market value is a trap if they do not fit your personal style or wardrobe needs.
• The PVP system — Purpose, Versatility, and Personality — acts as a filter to help you make better clothing choices.
• Versatility works in practice rather than theory, so you must be realistic about whether you will actually wear a piece.
