How To Clear Out Your Closet

advertisement

1 THROW EVERYTHING ONTO YOUR BED
Everything! Then clean out the wardrobe and replace those wire coat hangers (which ruin clothes) with wooden ones: half a dozen for suits and about a dozen for shirts.

 

 

2 BUNG GYM OR HOLIDAY CLOTHES ELSEWHERE
Ideally in bags under the bed. Then you won’t always be wading through piles of inappropriate stuff. Keep “special occasion” clothes elsewhere if you can too.

 

 

3 MATCH EVERY TIE WITH A SHIRT
Junk stray ties, unless you’re going to go and buy a shirt especially for them. Hang ties around appropriate shirts now and you’ll save time when you need to dress.

 

 

4 ELIMINATE EVERYTHING
that you haven’t worn for a year, that just doesn’t fit, that’s months old but still has the price tag on, that needs repairing or is only good enough for painting the house in.

 

 

5 ENSURE EVERYTHING THAT’S LEFT
goes with at least three other items – even if one of those is a plain white T-shirt. Bin or store any items that go with nothing else.

 

 

6 REPLACE THE GOOD STUFF
If you know you look good in polo shirts, buy replacements. Write down a list of any items you need to create new outfits and what basics you need more of.

 

 

7 PAY ATTENTION TO CLOTHES MAINTENANCE
It’s as important as what you wear. Missing or loose buttons, faded colours, creased fabrics, worn heels and scruffy bags are all no-nos.

 

 

8 TAKE A LONG LOOK AT THE ITEMS YOU’VE BINNED
Why did you buy them in the first place? Were they false-economy sales purchases? Why didn’t you wear them? Learn from your errors.
