The start of a new year is the perfect time to breathe fresh energy into your wardrobe—and your life. A closet cleanout can feel daunting, but with a few thoughtful steps, it becomes manageable and even rewarding.
Step 1: Tackle One Season at a Time
Instead of trying to overhaul everything in one go, focus on the current season. You’ll be surprised how much easier it is to sort through jackets, sweaters, and winter staples without getting overwhelmed by summer linens and swimwear.
Step 2: Know What to Keep, Tailor, or Let Go
It’s easy to spot the items you love and the ones you’ll never wear again. But what about those “maybes”? Ask yourself:
- Does this item truly fit my lifestyle?
- Would a quick tailoring tweak make it wearable?
- Could I style this differently for a fresh look?
If you’re stuck, try it on and send a picture to a friend—or, better yet, your wardrobe stylist! (That’s where I come in!)
Step 3: Add Intentionally, Not Impulsively
Once your closet is refreshed, resist the urge to refill it immediately. Instead, invest in versatile, high-quality pieces that work with your existing wardrobe and fit perfectly. With J.Hilburn’s custom menswear, you can create a curated wardrobe that simplifies your life and elevates your style.
Bonus Tip: Give Back and Recycle
As you part with pieces, donate clean, gently used clothing to local charities or shelters. For well-worn items, consider textile recycling to keep them out of landfills.
