6 Things to Throw Out of Your Closet Today to Kickstart Your Most Productive Decluttering Session Yet

A walk-in closet with dark wood, organized clothes, and a built-in dresser with a beige, square-shaped stool.

How many times have you opened your closet with the intention of decluttering, only to stall after twenty minutes? Like opening Pandora's box, the chaos that ensues can soon lead to regret, but purging your wardrobe is a necessary evil. We promise that with some grit, determination, and perseverance, you'll soon have the organized closet of your dreams.

When it comes to how to declutter a closet, there are a few techniques we naturally gravitate towards. You might choose to take everything out, lay it on your bed, and sort through piece by piece. Or maybe you prefer to tackle clothing categories methodically, starting with underwear and working your way up to jackets. Both methods are all well and good, but you'll need to figure out what to actually throw out before you begin, otherwise, your closet will be just as full as it was when you started.
