I clean out at least one new wardrobe a week and after years of doing this, I’ve noticed that the reason clients hold onto things longer than necessary is for reasons other than not having time, or not knowing what to keep.

If you’re in the mood to clean out your wardrobe, here are my five steps to keeping it simple, efficient and effective. Here’s the Stylists method on how to be ruthless when decluttering clothes.

A big reason why we feel overwhelmed with our wardrobes is because they're not organised well.

My passion for a well-designed wardrobe stems from wanting to make my wardrobe a place I like to be. For me, there's nothing as calming of a morning than opening a closet that is organised, easy to use, where I can see what I own.

Part of my job as a Stylist is to help clients maintain an interchangeable and organised wardrobe. Organising for me is contagious, I love containers and my Dymo labeller. The other day when my labeller ran out of labels, I felt like throwing my Ikea step ladder, that I was standing on, through the window.
