What clothes should I buy first when building a wardrobe?
Start with what you wear most and can combine most: well-fitting jeans or trousers in a dark colour, plain tees and shirts in white, black and one colour you love, one layer (a denim jacket, a blazer or a shrug), one versatile kurta set, and two pairs of shoes, white sneakers and something dressier. Then fill gaps for your actual week, office or college, rather than for occasions you might go to.
