It can also help to visualize how clean your closet will be once you let go of some of the clothes cluttering up your space.
Try hanging all your clothes so the hooks face out. When you take clothes down to wear, turn the hanger so the hook faces in. After a few months, check for hangers that are still facing out to see what you don’t wear.
Determine if the garments you want to keep fit into your lifestyle anymore. For example, if you rarely attend events where you need to dress up, it’s okay to get rid of some of the formal clothes that you aren’t wearing.
Have a friend over as you go through your closet and have them give their opinion. It may be easier to have some help making the decision.
Keep staple clothes that are versatile, like plain T-shirts, jeans, sweaters, trousers, button-down shirts, blazers, and little black dresses in your closet.
If you kept thinking about the clothes in your “maybe” box, then that means they’re important to you and you should hold onto them for now.
You can try to fix your clothes, but try to do it within a few days. If you leave the clothes for 2 weeks without fixing them, it’s a sign that you can get rid of them.
If you want to reuse a wedding dress, cut the material to put in a scrapbook or locket.
Rather than holding onto clothes because they were expensive, appreciate and cherish the memories from the times you wore them.
