The Closet Cleanse Checklist: What to Keep, Toss, and Refresh

A well-edited closet isn’t just about space, it’s about peace of mind. If getting dressed feels chaotic or you constantly reach for the same 3 outfits, it may be time for a reset. A closet cleanse helps you reconnect with your style, streamline your wardrobe, and finally ditch the "maybes" that are silently stealing your time and energy.

What to KEEP:

The Foundation of a Functional Wardrobe

These are the MVPs of your closet - the pieces you reach for on repeat, that fit well, feel good, and align with your current style and lifestyle.

Keep anything that is:

• Flattering and fits your current body well

• Comfortable and easy to wear

• High quality or investment-level

• Versatile (can be styled multiple ways)

• A true reflection of your personal style right now

• Worn regularly and still in great condition

💡 Pro tip: Try it on. If you wouldn’t wear it out today, don’t let it take up space.

What to TOSS:

The Clutter That’s Holding You Back

We all have pieces in our closet that are just… taking up room. These items create unnecessary decision fatigue and can lower your style confidence without you realizing it.

Time to let go if it’s:

• Stretched out, faded, damaged, or stained

• Uncomfortable, itchy, too tight, or too loose

• A “just in case” or “someday” item you haven’t worn in 12+ months

• Associated with a past version of you (old job, old phase, etc.)

• Something you always try on but never actually wear out

• A regret buy or trend that never felt right on you

✨ Style shift mantra: Letting go creates space for what fits now, not just what fit then.

What to REFRESH:

The Pieces That Need a Glow-Up

Some items are close to working, but not quite there. These can often be refreshed, tailored, or upgraded to better support your current style goals.

Consider refreshing if:

• It’s a staple piece that’s worn out (e.g., your go-to white tee or favorite jeans)

• The fit is almost right (but would be perfect with tailoring)

• It’s a classic silhouette in a color or pattern you don’t love - swap it!

• You love the item but haven’t figured out how to style it yet

Refresh options:

• Replace worn basics with higher-quality versions

• Get pieces altered to fit your body now

• Add updated accessories to bring basics back to life (belts, shoes, scarves)

• Reorganize your closet so loved pieces are easy to see and grab

Let Your Closet Reflect the Best Version of You

A clean closet is more than tidy shelves, it’s a reset button for your mindset, mornings, and motivation. With the right mix of keepers, upgrades, and honest edits, you’ll open your wardrobe each day and feel like it’s working for you.
