How To Put Together A Stylish Open Closet

Photos by Jenn Camp

It's no secret that I'm a huge fun of open closets, and this sleek gold clothing rack from Urban Outfitters is perfect for pulling one off. Start by adding a small selection of your favorite pieces from your wardrobe like classic tops, jackets, jeans and pants. Next, drape a mix of your go-to accessories including a selection of hats, bags and scarves. The key is to make sure that all your picks compliment each other to some extent for a more cohesive look. To complete the space, add simple storage trays to showcase your best jewelry, a few fashion books for inspiration, and an interesting rug where you can line up your top shoe picks. Oh, and don't forget to keep an instant camera handy, so that you can capture and keep track of all of your best looks for easier dressing in the future!

Obsessed with the gorgeous neutral chic home of Nina Bergsten. Located in Malmö, Sweden, it's no wonder I love it so much. Scandinavian interiors are my favorite. The details I appreciate the most are her dresser set-up, the marble dining table (swoon!) and the open closet, which you may remember from this post.

Boyfriend jeans are meant to look as though you stole your boyfriend/fiance/husband's denim from his closet. However, with a ruffled, off-the-shoulder or cropped top, this look can go from boyfriend to your very own, easily. This model wore her boyfriend jeans with black ankle boots and a white, off-shouldered blouse. You can't go wrong with this look.
