I clean the wardrobe, when the season is changing
In spring, I put away my winter clothes and bring out the spring ones. Thanks to that, I can see how much I really have – and what I actually wear.
And my wardrobe? It stays organised all year round and makes much more sense to me.

Once a time complete detox

Every now and then, I clear out my wardrobe down to the very last drawer. Sometimes I find a forgotten treasure – and sometimes I don’t. But what I no longer need might bring joy to someone else.

Back in Circulation
I keep track of what I wear and what I don’t. The pieces that have been lying around for too long, I regularly put back into circulation – after all, they can still be useful to someone else.

When I’m not sure if I’ll still wear something, I put it aside – maybe in a box under the bed. With time, I find out whether I really miss it or not.

I know what suits me, I know what I am missing
I think about which materials and cuts I actually feel good in – the rest just end up sitting in my closet anyway.
When I know what suits me and what I already have, it’s clear what I truly need. And that’s how I shop.
How to Sort Your Wardrobe?
What I wear
The pieces I wear regularly and with joy go straight back into my wardrobe.
If I’m unsure about something, I put it in a box within reach and see if I actually miss it.

If I don’t wear it, I share it.
Impulse buys, unsuitable gifts, and everything that no longer fits me – or never won my heart – can serve well in someone else’s wardrobe. You can donate them to charity shops, where they’ll be turned into help for those in need.
Works fine, but well-worn
Donate to community wardrobes. People in need can still make good use of it. Men’s clothing and clean underwear are especially valuable.

Broken, worn-out, torn, or stained.
Clothing that is visibly worn, damaged, stained, or made of polyester has little use in today’s world of fast and cheap fashion. It belongs in textile collection bins, where it is further sorted and distributed – most often to developing countries or to landfills.
The biggest enemy of sustainable fashion is the feeling that we have nothing to wear.
Yet often, all it takes is really knowing your wardrobe and keeping it organised.
You may even find that six trusted outfits bring you more joy than the short burst of endorphins from another purchase.
