Simply put, if you don’t wear it, remove it from your closet. Find a new home for clothing that is “itchy, uncomfortable or evokes a negative memory,” says professional organizer Bohne Leah, founder of the Be Organized Method.
For clothes that fall into a middle category, reflect on which pieces you no longer feel happy wearing versus which pieces may be worth keeping if they come back in style. “I believe it’s important to maintain a wardrobe filled with pieces that you love,” says Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab Associate Director Emma Seymour.
If you have items that you want to keep but they don’t fit well, consider getting them tailored, suggests Seymour. For less than the price of buying something new, you can renew something you already have and love.
