Kinowear Program: Full Access to the Basics Module | Kinowear

First of all, (and this is a Warning), the article wont be available on the blog after November 29th (when subscriptions for the Kinowear Program close). Because, thats right, what youre about to see is the FULL module of the Kinowear Program about Basics. Youre in the right place at the right time. Dont miss out on this opportunity make the most of it before its too late. Let me guide you through the typical module of the Kinowear Program

1. Educational Video

2. Resources
Here weve got great content. I mean it. You should take the time to browse the resources on every module. The Workbook is full of exercises that allow you to memorize the ideas, put them into practice, but also find where youre at: a beginner, intermediate or advanced. This Worbook on the basics is very important as itll help you work out your plan of actions to make real progress. Whereas the Mindmaps allow you to quickly glance over all the information. Finally you can download the slides as PDFs if you want to easily search for something

About Nicolas
I've been a style and blogging nut for a few years now. Being well dressed is different from being fashionable and that's what I like to write about. I love the expertise involved in the creation of bespoke shoes and suitsas much as the simplicity of a green curry in Bangkok. To learn more about style: you should follow me on Twitter.

Thank you so much for making this available! This should be a great start in figuring out what I need in order to get more wear out of everything I own and make more outfit without stuffing my closet. I'm currently in need of basic tees and also to replace some tired-looking favorites. I'm not pround to say I still wear a favorite sweater that has a hole on it (I hide it) Although I like owning little clothes my trouble seems to be from having too little items. I have only 6 sweaters: 2 thin, 2 medium, 2 chunky. I think "6 sweaters is plenty" but then I make an outfit and realise I wore it last week already, and the week before too... I'm finally realizing I went too far in my wardrobe reducing efforts and need to rebuild. My current wardrobe has: - 2 very fancy/formal outfits - 1 semi-formal - 1 winter sheath (gray) - 4 summer sheaths - 3 colored chinos (only red ones fit) - black pants

Hi Gabi, Well, in my opinion, you've got quite a lot pieces in your closet. It's not a big deal to wear a few times in a row the same outfit. But I see what you are trying to achieve. If you don't manage to pull off as much outfits as you want there are probably some pieces you don't wear anymore. Instead of simply buying more of the same, you should really focus on making a good triage. See this post : http://www.kinowear.com/blog/7... Nicolas

Thank you! As it turns out, a lot (half?) of those are statement pieces that don't go well with each other. While I don't think I can pare it down much further, a couple of more interesting basics could help. I only have statement pieces and very basic basics, if you know what I mean
