1/14/2024 0 Comments Decluttering my wardrobe![]() It might be helpful to have someone you trust and value look at your wardrobe with you. While what you wear should always be what you want and what you feel comfortable in, sometimes we need a little help from our friends. Photo by Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels Tip #5: Ask friends for their help Do you like the way it looks on you? Does it match the image you want to portray? Do you feel good wearing it? If you saw it in a store today, would you still buy it? If no, then don’t put it back in your wardrobe. Wear the item and take a good look in the mirror. It might be unflattering, too big, too small, the wrong colour or just not our style. Sometimes we hold on to an item of clothing because we absolutely love it but when it comes down to being honest, it doesn’t look good on us. For some reason, however, we tend to overlook it or avoid it. The mirror test is the easiest and most obvious way to eliminate clothing from a wardrobe.

If it doesn’t, then you can identify what you no longer need.Įxtra tip: You’ll definitely need to plan enough time to get the job done. This will be the most difficult part of the process so if you need more support, I highly recommend following through with the KonMarie Method, which includes asking yourself, ‘Does this spark joy?’ If an item brings you joy and you have a use for it, there is worth in keeping it. (You can make a ‘yes’, ‘maybe’ and a ‘no’ pile.) ![]() From here on out, you can go through each piece, one-by-one, and decide if you want to keep it or not. ![]() This will give you a great starting point and a clear insight as to just how much you have in your wardrobe. Start by taking out all of your items and pile them somewhere like your bed. Decluttering your wardrobe is an all-or-nothing kind of thing! This includes shoes, belts, hats, scarves and whatever else you find in there! If you only focus on a few things, the clutter will soon pile up again and you’ll be right back where you started. This might sound like a ‘no brainer’ but if your goal is to declutter your wardrobe, you need to go through every last item of clothing in there. Tip #3: Sort through ALL of the items in your wardrobe as you declutter This is a nice little trick to get clarity on what you actually need. If you are, great! It’s like having a new wardrobe! If there is no excitement, then you know it’s time to donate those items because you don’t have a need for them. After your chosen amount of time, reintroduce the box back into your wardrobe and see if you’re excited to wear those clothes again. Store them away in a box for six moths (or even a year). This tip is helpful if you don’t wear some items of clothing very often but you’re not ready to part with them just yet.

As you wear them and they get returned to your wardrobe, place them facing the opposite way. This way you will start to see which items you have not worn yet and it will give you a pretty good indication of what items are just taking up space in your wardrobe.Įxtra tip: If you want to also see which folded items you aren’t wearing, you can use this same concept but by placing the folded items facing a certain way – up or down, sideways, etc. As you wear an item and hang it back in your wardrobe, hang it back with the hanger facing the opposite way. Hang all of your clothes with the hangers facing the same way (whichever direction you prefer). This is a great little trick to find out what you’re actually not using.
