Most of us probably have closets full of absolute crap that we don't wear.
We spend hours digging through our closets on what to wear for a date. It's a waste of time
Your life becomes Easier!
Clothing related decisions are a pain in the butt.
We have to look for patterns and textures that look good together and match! The outfit needs to fit the occasion.
When most of your clothes match and are the same, this becomes less of an issue. When you have fewer clothes, you automatically know what to wear with what. Because it looks good together.
All of your clothes are used!
You may notice that you don't even wear half of the whats in your closet. When you own less, you'll wear all or more of your clothes. You'll wear them out, And then you'll get to replace that thing. When you have a closet full of clothes, You won't use everything. Instead, your closet will have shirts or pants you tend to avoid because you don't like them.
Less Waste
My belief on things, Is if you own too much, Your more likely to buy even more.
Why? Because when you have the mindset that you will get rid of what you don't use. You'll stop buying. Because you'll see just how much you have.
It's so easy to just accumulate more and more without even thinking about it.
Use the hanger method
Turn your hangers backward and see whats not used after a few months. Get rid of that stuff.
Or if your like me, And cannot stand having hangers backward. Keep them forward. Then everytime you do laundry, Put your clothes in the front of your closet. Eventually, all the clothes you never use will be moved to the very back. You'll then know exactly what you don't wear.
Wear fewer colors
I personally only wear black, So pretty much everything matches. The only time I have to worry about matching is when I try and wear a skirt, Instead of basket ball shorts. Which I have an assortment of black "blouses" I can wear. If you enjoy wearing a couple colors, Try to dumb down your wardrobe like that.
Embrace the idea of one
Having one of most things that aren't worn everyday, Is a smart option.
- One swimsuit
- One pair of running shoes
- One coat
- One handbag.
Etc.
This can be applied to lots of things!
I own one pair of running shoes that I use to run 4 miles a day.
When they start to wear out really bad. I get the excitement of looking for a new pair! I love it!
Focus on quality
Quantity isn't everything.
Buy something that will last a while, that you can beat up! Most of the time, Quality clothes are more comfortable anyways. So you'll love them more.
You'll also save money, because you won't have to replace it as often.
Break The Shopping Habit
For most of us shopping may simpily become a habit we have trouble breaking.
It's fun to go online and buy stuff. Or go to the mall! Maybe you need to pick up a new hobby so you aren't as focused on shopping.
With clothes being so cheap, it's easy to buy lots of them.
