    The general rule of thumb is 40. That's roughly 10 tops, 10 bottoms, 5 trousers, 10 outerwear pieces, and 5 dresses. You can totally adjust those ratios to suit your personal needs, though.

    Nobody said you have to go out and update everything right away! You can piece your wardrobe out over time and buy things slowly. Alternatively, you can just get thrifty and look for quality brands being sold at deep discounts.
