Planning a Move? Here’s When You Should Throw Away Old Clothes

Published: March 01, 2022

Closets are frequently overflowing with apparel, but individuals only wear a tiny percentage of what they own. There’s no better time to go through your wardrobe and get rid of anything you don’t need or want than when you’re moving.

If you need help figuring out which clothing pieces should go, don’t worry, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Southeast Massachusetts is here to offer some tips!

They No Longer Fit

It’s not unusual to fluctuate in weight and clothing sizes throughout your life, but it also necessitates the purchase of additional items. It’s time to let go of anything that’s a few sizes larger or smaller than you want it to be. Don’t waste your time holding onto them unless you’re working hard toward fitting back into that size.

It’s Not Your Style

Trends go up and down, yet clothes stay in closets for years after their popularity has faded. It’s time to let go of any clothing that doesn’t compliment your current style. There are several trends that come back again and again throughout history, but they seldom reappear for another two decades.

There’s Damage

We’ve all got some sort of item with a stain, hole, or tear on it that we refuse to throw away. Some individuals daydream about restoring or repurposing it at some point in the future. If you haven’t done anything about it after months or years, then you should let go.

What to Do With the Clothing

We said in the previous tip on our list to get rid of garments with damage, but what about the rest of your clothing? Any apparel you believe still has life in it should be donated or sold. There are numerous resale clothes applications accessible for download. Have a yard sale if you want to get rid of everything at once!
