If you plan to lose less than 30 pounds it’s best to wait until you have lost all your weight to purchase new clothes. There’s no sense in buying a new wardrobe midway just to buy a nother new wardrobe a month or two later!
But, if you are planning to lose a large amount of weight and are on a budget you can’t wait until you lose all your weight to buy new clothes. The clothing will be falling off your back, literally! If you are losing a large amount of weight I suggest you buy the following basics every 30 pounds you lose: a black or navy blazer, black or navy dress pants, black leggings, black or navy skirt, a pair of fitted jeans. These basics should work well with the clothes you already have.
Fortunately, you can often get away with oversized shirts. Pull over shirts, sweaters and button down shirts can be worn oversized over a pair of fitted leggings. Button down shirts can also be tied in the front when wearing a skirt or dress pants or tucked in to look more fitted.
When buying leggings and jeans make sure they are snug so that as you lose weight they will fit properly for a longer period of time. Also, once you feel your leggings or jeans are getting loose try washing them in hot water. It will usually cause them to shrink a little.
A belt can be added to many styles of dresses to add a more slimming look to them. Just add a fitted blazer or cardigan over the top and you won’t notice the dress is a little big! I also suggest buying a few wrap dresses because you can easily adjust them while losing weight. Lastly, suits can be adjusted by the tailor for a fraction of the cost of buying all new suits. Once you reach your goal weight go clothes shopping! You deserve a new wardrobe after all your hard work!
