Now that you’ve cleaned up your closets and left the clutter zone, let’s explore the ways you can rebuild your wardrobe the smart way.

You can play with core basics, neutrals, and accent colors. Here are three mini-collections, each with 25 pieces, which will help you define your style without cluttering your closet. The first is for newly retired women, who finally get to wear the clothes they love. The second collection is for women who are returning to work in an office environment. And the last collection is for moms on the go.

The items in these mini-collections are available on Matchesfashion.com.

Now That I Am Retired, Let Me Be a Diva

You’ve paid your dues. You’ve worked long years in the corporate world, wearing your suits and high heels, sometimes khaki pants on Fridays. You did not really have your own style then, but now it’s time to let the designer in you shine.

Capsule must-haves include kaftans (yes, we are in traveling mode), relaxed linen coordinates, denim pieces, and comfortable cotton tops. Everything is geared towards comfort. And please splurge if you can; you totally deserve it.

I Am a Superwoman and a Cool Mom

Just because you are a stay-at-home mom doesn’t mean you have to wear sweats and hoodies. Instead, you can create a casual chic look for your day-to-day activities without sacrificing comfort. This capsule collection includes timeless basics with nice neutral colors that are seamlessly interchangeable.
