Top tips /hand hold for wardrobe clear out

Basically what are your top tips to clear out your wardrobe, how do you decide what to keep. I’ve done maybe a third but need to keep going. Definitely realise I have too many 🤷🏻‍♀️ Any help greatly appreciated!

Bag up anything you're not sure about and put it in the loft. I had a clear out and got rid of all but should have had a maybe bag. Good luck.

Have you heard of Project 333? You could do similar to that maybe.

You take everything out of your wardrobe and pile it on your bed. Then pick out your favourite 33 items. There are rules about it including jewellery blah blah. I ignore all that tbh. I don't include pjs, underwear, workout gear or coats / jackets. I don't have that many coats / jackets, but if I did, I may pick my top 3-5.

Anyway, you keep the top 33 items in your wardrobe and parcel up the rest and put it out of sight. Don't give anything away or recycle it yet. Then wait 3 months and do the same thing. Eventually you'll realise you don't wear some things at all and you can get rid of them

I also don't include jewellery. I don't have that much anyway and also it isn't exactly taking up a lot of room.

I ask myself.... Have I worn it in the last 6 months, will I wear it in the next 6 months. Answer no to both.... Charity shop.

I turn all my hangers the wrong way round. And then when you wear it put it back in the right way round. Anything summer/ winter that's still the wrong way round I donate to charity.

Also I've been wearing everything whilst WFH. Anything I don't enjoy/ find comfy is donated too.
