Great topic! It reminds me that I need to clean out my closet, my wife has been after me to do that, because she needs more closet space! LOL
I have some nice business / casual shirts that I haven't worn much since I retired. They are starched and hanging in the closet with the plastic from the cleaners covering them. Those will go to to our church which has a clothing outreach for people in need. Since retirement my wardrobe consists primarily of jeans and t-shirts.

I go through my closets every February when the weather keeps you inside. I also clean out all storage and closets a few times a year as I hate waste and clutter. I turn all my hangers around so the loop is facing out. If it is still that way the next year, then I obviously did not wear the clothes and they get donated. Lots a good causes to use my clothes that somehow shrink every year.

I've got shirts I bought 20 years ago and they still fit.

Not eating carbs or sugar can save you money..

I cleaned put my closet to get rid of the clothes I couldn't wear. Had about 50 shirts and 4 pants I could not wear. I'll be having a yard sale during the summer and donating what I have left over. What do you all do with your old clothes? Do you donate or just toss?
Both. After my COVID weight loss in '21 I performed a major purge, but some stuff wasn't worth passing on to someone else.

Pulled down a suit I haven't worn since for church Christmas Eve 1992 when our oldest was three months old that I haven't worn since then, lol, and it was new about a month before she was born. Never been able to let it go, haven't had a prayer of fitting into it until some weight loss a couple years ago which I've further "refined". With some things coming up in the next few weeks I thought I'd risk it.

As of today ---- it fits! Luckily, it's a pretty timeless look.

Im mostly retired now and moved across the planet. I wear my clothes until they are no longer worth having. They migrate from the closet to the painting/yard work clothes bin.
