I tried the reverse hanger trick to see if it could help clear out my overflowing wardrobe - this is what I learnt

White wardrobe with jumpers and jeans hung up.

I wouldn’t call myself a hoarder, but I’m definitely someone who likes to keep things ‘just in case.’ And, being a ‘just in case’ advocate perhaps wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t enjoy shopping… a lot. So whilst I amass more, I also rarely have time to properly sort through what I no longer need. Needless to say, a thorough wardrobe clear-out has been on the cards for a while. Therefore, when I heard that the reverse hanger trick is easy to implement, I thought it was high time I gave it a go.

And it seems I’m not alone in needing help figuring out how to organise a wardrobe. A new survey by Wren found that around a fifth of people overspend on clothes due to their cluttered closets, with the average Brit spending £400 on clothes and shoes each year.
