We often hear such organization standards as "cloths that have not been worn for more than one year should be discarded". Although they are simple and clear, in actual operations, it is often difficult to make up for the sake of determination. Japanese storage consultant asked Murakami Mayumi to ask five signs of letting go besides "not wearing it for more than one year", which will help us to better determine which clothes in the cloak are really no longer suitable for us.

1. Does the size not match the length and waist of the pants really fit? Is it delayed until now because "although it's a bit long, it should be fine if you fold it and wear it?" If the clothes are left unmodified for a long time, it is already the signal to let go.

Clothes that are too tight or too loose will not only be uncomfortable to wear, but also affect the appearance. Rather than endure it hard, it is better to choose clothes that truly fit and make yourself at ease. As you age, it is natural to change your body shape. Only by choosing clothes that suit your "now self" can you wear them comfortably and confidently.

2. Life habits have changed. Is the clothes that children often wear before they were born or the formal clothes they needed to go to work in their past? Is it impossible to use them in my current life? As the environment and lifestyle have changed, the needs of clothing will certainly be different.

For example, a lot of suits may be required to take up a job, but the demand will naturally decrease when converted to internal work. If certain clothes are never used again, this is the time to let go. The wardrobe should be updated to the state of "conforming to your current self".

3. If the care is too numb, it is easy to get sick and must be washed by hand. If it is a single product, it is of course no problem to take time to take care of it. But if you don't touch it because you feel it's numb after wearing it once, it means it is not suitable for your current life.

On busy days, clothes that are often "convenient and easy to wear" are often on the spot. If the clothing is well maintained than it is complicated, you might as well review its necessity again. If you are so hesitant, you might as well wear it again to confirm whether you really need it.

4. The design is no longer suitable for the brands, materials and tailoring that I once liked very much, but now I feel "a little unsuitable" or "what weird is it" when I wear it.

This is a natural change. Depending on age, face or hair, suitable colors and designs will also change. If you feel that it will no longer fit after wearing it, even if you like it, it will be a signal to let go.

5. The styles are duplicated too much

We often buy many similar clothes because of preference. As long as you can wear it often, there is no problem. But if you only pick those few pieces every time you open your clothes, and there is almost no chance for others to go out, then you can consider the essence.

Leave the most favorite and most frequently worn 1 to 2 pieces, and the clothes that are duplicate or in poor condition can be let go. In this way, daily matching will become easier.

"Whether it is suitable for the current self" is the common core of the above 5 points, which is "whether it is suitable for the current self". Don't stay because of past memories, or imagination that "will be worn one day", but based on "really needed now".

"Many clothes don't have clothes to wear" is often because the clothes are filled with clothes that are no longer suitable. When you are hesitating, try to put on and stand in front of the lens and observe your mood. If you can feel happy and confident, it is the clothes worth keeping; otherwise, you should let go.
