How To Build The Perfect Wardrobe With Less | Courtney Ryan 

We need more feminine but also straightforward women like Courtney, well done, keep it up 👏

1) classic t-shirt 2) buttons up/ button down 3) knitwear 4) a suit 5) outerwear 6) pants 7) foot wear

Thanks Courtney. All of your wardrobe videos have been so great and helpful. An ex-girlfriend of mine who went to fashion school once told me that a good rule of thumb to base your clothes on is "if it doesn't make you feel awesome when you wear it then get rid of it" and that was a huge help in deciding what to purge and what to go after. Your videos just help me narrow down the search and save so much time. Thanks again!

This video couldn't have come at a perfect time. I am trying to improve my dressing style but have been hesitant about spending the money. Your content is really helpful thanks

I think these are all great, but I the one thing I I'm still iffy about is having a suit, well as t least for me. Because I have a uniform for my work and I don't go out on dates and don't go out like clubbing so just not sure me having a suit would be worth it. But I understand on why having one is good.

This is one of the better videos on this topic ive seen. Very straightforward and seems to really cover the actual essentials most men would need for a minimal wardrobe.

Courtney this is the first time i heard of the capsule wardrobe thing. It's crazy because i kinda was on it already but i didn't know what clothing pieces i needed. I like neutral/warm colors. I also cleared my closet out recently because i plan on giving away all my older clothes to goodwill so i can start over. I truly appreciate you putting us on game about what works. You haven't stirred me wrong in your advice. Be blessed 😊🙌🏽♥️

I did this a couple years ago and it has made dressing well super easy. Stick to the basics and classics. I like buck mason for my clothes. It’s a little pricier but their quality is really good and just elevated classics.

i worked on redoing my wardrobe at the start of the year with more neutral colors and high quality basics and its so easy to mix and match! i will be doing another closet purge soon and im planning on getting on nice dress shoes like Chelsea boots

Been watching Courtney for about 8 months now. She is a breathe of fresh air today. Gorgeous with a lovely spirit and a great head on her shoulders.

Courtney, found your channel about a week ago. Watched all the fashion videos to help minimize the clutter and I've found them extremely helpful for the pieces I lacked. Keep up the great work!

Very good video! I dropped like 3k on a whole wardrobe of quality pieces according to this recipe and it really does work. I have like 10 awesome combos to work from and it never feels like I'm wearing the same thing.

This is a very helpful video with great tips, Thank You Courtney for sharing this 🙏🏽 I usually wear clothes that are interchangeable anyways and colors that compliment my skin tone.

I cleaned out my closet recently and I'm so glad I did! I then started buying clothes that I KNEW I was going to wear and I've felt confident in all the outfits that I've worn for like the past 2 months.

I think out of this entire list the only thing I have is the suit. Lol!! My closet is literally filled with graphic tshirts and workout clothes. One of the biggest reason's behind is that I don't go out besides the gym. I don' do concerts or bars. Never get invited for anything else. So it's keep it simple and easy when it comes to clothes. Shorts and tshirts and a couple other things. Definitely a great video on what to get if you're social.

Since I subscribed her channel last year I learn a lot about style I used to wear logo outfits 🤦🏻‍♂️ thank you 🙏🏽 Courtney Ryan your change a lot of man out there life style including Me 🌹

Great tips Courtney.We appreciate the things you do on the channel

Today I got two more shirts and three white tshirts, little by little working in the all mixed wardrobe. (Saving now buying next seasons clothings) so I can’t really wear them yet (better because I’m on a diet and loosing weight) 12 more kg to go. (27lbs) 6’8” 198lbs goal

Mam,your voice is so soothing that I have been binge watching your videos since yesterday and loving your content and learning many things.Thankyou & keep going❤️

I adore your videos but this is by far my favorite. A great way to revamp your wardrobe for 2022 and beyond. Thank you for thinking about the Minimalist out there!

Thanks Courtney you always have the best content, always well though out, sincere, genuine and honest..

Ahhhh...yesss....the ward robe dilemma. It's never ending. I think as time goes on we all improve on it. When you retire, you can almost get rid of everything and rebuild to suit your needs. The basic color scheme you mentioned is a great tip. I got lucky where I live. There is a retro store that bought almost all of my old clothes. Now I'm in rebuild mode and probably overdoing it again.

I really enjoy making loud colors work. Its fun being bold.

3/33 for life. and cycle buying, I get what I replace during the summer sales, wear the clothes through the season, purge after christmas, replace the purged during after xmas sales, wear spring summer, etc

Great tips, Courtney! We appreciate how much you do for the channel.

Courtney, you are the big sister I wish I had 10 years ago. Thanks for all you do!

Awesome video Courtney! Exactly what I need to do but didn’t know how to go about it. Your expertise on what works with men’s fashion is much appreciated. Will keep watching for more tips. 👍

Hi Courtney! Would you consider creating an updated capsule/wardrobe essentials video for women? I love your style! (As well as your content, of course) 😊

When you're getting compliments on your wardrobe,you know you're doing something right.

I don't like Vee neck t-Shirts either. There is a hack that must be followed with your 'dress' Tshirts though; NEVER wear them to bed. You will stretch out the neck. If the neck starts looking stretched or wavy, it just became your mow the lawn shirt or sleeping shirt. Also when you dry your Tshirts, be right there to get them out of the dryer immediately. A wrinkly T-Shirt makes you look sloven. They are difficult to iron without stretching them weirdly. You might be able to get less intense wrinkles out with a steamer but if there is a lot of wrinkles or even one particularly intense wrinkle. short cycle dry them again for 5 mins. If they laid in the dryer over night, you may have to wash them again to get the wrinkles out. Avoid bleach, it will yellow your shirts, "Oxy Clean" works well to keep whites white, not yellow (great for socks too). And it's safe for colors also. No matter how well the shirt (any shirt) looks or fits, if it's wrinkly or stretched out of shape you'll just look unkempt and lazy. V-neck sweaters look good with a crew neck, or collared neck shirt of contrasting color. PS: The pink waffle knit sweater I've seen you wear is a worthy waiver of your black clothing policy. And Pink goes great with black. Especially on you Courtney.

After binging a lot of videos on your channel 😅 this has definitely been my favourite! Opened my eyes to a whole new way to look at fashion & men's clothing. Thank you Courtney!!! 👊🏿

Great advice on the footwear! I am happy she is validating my tendency to spend a little extra on shoes. I’ve never been hurt by a shirt or pants… but having bad shoes- ACK!

Build a capsule wardrobe: - Do a clean out first - maybe stick to a theme

I'm in workout clothes or stretchy deleuth pants like 99% of the time. Cuz damn they comfy. But the piece that gets the most attention is a t shirt that has the incredible dad on it that says "dad bod"

True, i want a good wardrobe

Perfect timing for this video I was thinking about it earlier

Courtney - you are my go-to fashion expert!

Wow I actually like this one. It's very helpful. About to go through my closet & Reassess my wardrobe thank you

You the best! Thank you I was just needing a video to help me on this!

Great stuff Courtney. Enjoyed this vid, have just subscribed. From New Zealand.

I have found that the winter clothes are a little harder just because of the price. My advice would be to get two different colored top coats because they look very dapper and two different colored turtlenecks. If you have that I promise you will get complements because they look very clean and professional.

Good one Courtney back to basics

Nice advice. Just ordered some Thursdays (Mayors) in black . They are on the way, :)

I do something like this, except I’m a sneaker head so I have a lot of kicks. With the sneakers I limited my collection to a few of my favorite styles to wear (Jordan 1s, 11s and 3s) and get those in a bunch of colors and get more whenever some that I like come out. I only match accessories to the shoes really so shirts pants and outerwear is all simple basics.

I confess, I had to hear advice like this for a million years before I started to go along with it. When I finally did, I was happier with my clothes and how I wore them. Guys, it does not make you less manly to "be into clothes". Co sign on the closet purge. Side note to older or oddly-shaped men: get a tailor, seriously, you've no idea.

I love your black long sleeve shirt you're wearing, Courtney

Good video! I'm already doing this but the color schemes you said just made me know a little bit better. Gonna get me a charcoal top rn 👀

Can you make an updated version of this? Love this!

Less is more and purchase clothes that fit you well is also important.

Thanks for the info. Love your feminine energy.

Hi Courtney Thanks for your Tips Always Enjoy Your Videos !!

Thank you Courtney this was super helpful 🙌🏾

Courtney, I always enjoy your videos. Great advice! And we’re both Ohioans! Down here in Wooster.

Good solid advice, Courtney. and a worthwhile exercise. Now, once you built your capsule wardrobe, how many multiples of each item will you actually need to get? Does it depend on how often you plan to do laundry? Or how often you plan to replace worn out items. When I was younger, I spent a year studying abroad where I was forced to do this, and because I was limited to 2 suitcases and a carry on, I needed to bring only the essentials for the entire 11 months I was there. Even then, I had to buy some sweaters, shirts, pants and shoes when I was there, and at the end of the year, most of the clothes I brought over were completely trashed since I had to wear them far more often then I would have in a usual rotation.

Absolutely!

There's one great use of V necks. Sleeping is way more comfortable in them😀

I redid my whole closet after losing 100+ lbs. spent $4k total but got all new well fitting clothes. Now I just need a new custom suit and I’m set

Hi Courtney, I found this video really helpful. I just turned 35 and find myself wanting and needing a wardrobe reset. The video helped me learn I already have several of these pieces to work with. Question: Do you have any Amazon (brand) recommendations for solid color button down shirts?

Thank you

Excellent. Thank you Courtney.........💖

A vlog style video of your upcoming closet purge? Maybe?

Capsule wardrobes are great. I have 12 of them...

Let's go Courtney!

Great Video! Thx...

I totally agree with investing in top quality clothing. You'll have them for years if looked after and will look and feel much more comfortable wearing them. Others will notice also. Just decide what will work well for you and what won't. Keeping your wardrobe closet 100% clutter free also makes a huge difference. As well pay mind to what fits your body type well and keep footwear clean. I really enjoy your content on here Courtney. Keep up the good work with your channel. Enjoy your weekend. Greetings from Canada.

First of I did watch an other video and I was thinking „ another crazy feminism girl“ man you really proved me wrong. Great content nice down to earth easy and calm. Congrats your a intelligent lady keep it up 👍

I’m copping me Bapestas and some neat clothes also some dress shoes

Hi Courtney, awesome video! Can you make a video recommending the best subscription service for men's wardrobe?

Really good one!

No opinion on henleys? A thick henley is my goto because I don't like sweaters. What are your thoughts?

Can you do a video on what shoes go with what outfits

Any tips for accessories like suspender, ring, cufflink etc? Great videos as always.

can you do a video on the best brands to get all these different types of clothes?

I needed this

I buy tshirts and polo shirts etc and after a few washes the neck parts just get destroyed. How do I wash shirts to get more uses and make em last?

Another useful video. I know both why and how already, though, LOL! xD

Donation plug 👍. Good on you.

This is why Courtney a G

"Compassion for the poor"--that is incredibly rare. And beautiful. Ma beaute elegante.// I'm seeing SFC Maureen Bertley US Army. She is ma beaute elegante. Magficat!

Love the content and presentation 👏👏

Could you recommend brand names? What are good quality clothing companies that aren't too expensive?

What is the difference between button-ups and button-downs? If a shirt had buttons you can wear it either up or down.

What is your opinion on leather jackets?

Appreciate the tips

lover your video. Would you ever consider also talking about female styling? so my girlfriend can also benefit from it.

Could you do a video about color's and how to coordinate them.

Hi Courtney Could you make a serie of TikToks about this topic? Thanks in advance

I do really like this channel so I have a friendly suggestion. Change up the music from time to time.

What stores do you recommend getting lasting clothes at?

Good video, thank you.

I'm 32 years old, and I thought chinos were shoes until I watched this video

I swear I made a comment on this channel about the same topic like 4 days ago, lmao. But thus far, I've just been working with what I have. I should really commit and buy more "foundational pieces." So, 200 dollar boots in South Florida, or literally anything else? hmm, tough decisions.

For shoes, I suggest a pair of black oxfords for dress shoes, a pair of sneakers and for boots a pair of jodhpurs boots if you live in a climate that allows it.

What about classic polo shirts instead of t-shirts? 😌

Great video!

We would love to hear an update on your closet purge. It's always funny when a girlfriend or girl-friend scoffs at something we still own. It's really hard for us to do it back. Since men only care about what you shouldn't wear in public. Not what you shouldn't own. But now there is a developing trend of girls that wear dirty beat up white shoes. [Custom] Vintage J's that look like Jordan played in them become a thing this year but that's different. Dirty converse that your too lazy to clean just makes me think the girl is broke. Men are told the first thing women look at is your shoes and now they don't care about there own? Make this make sense.

You are a nice looking woman, if no-one’s told you recently. ❤

nice

What's your opinion on graphic T's? Childish or fun for once and a while?
