Do Away with Unnecessary Clothing Items

Most people have at least a few things they never wear, and it's not worth holding onto most of these pieces.

You should use some home storage techniques to optimize your space, but you should also separate your clothing into items that you'll wear right now, and items that you'll only wear during the other seasons of the year. Split your clothing into piles and only fill your closet with items that you'll be using right now.
