I like the trick I learned to hang all your shirts with the hanger the wrong way. Then when you wash them, hang them normally.
Each spring, if a long-sleeve shirt is still the wrong way, it's time to get rid of it. Then I hang all remaining the wrong way for next fall/winter. Short sleeve get culled in late fall, with the rest reversed for next spring/summer.
Like the author, there are a few I hang on to, for practical (or sentimental) reasons. Sometimes I'll keep an disliked t-shirt around because I'll probably use it for grimy yard work at some point.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 4y agoI've sometimes had items of clothing I disliked for a decade, then suddenly found extremely great. But I do agree with the practice for short-sleeved shirts (not t-shirts), except the time for culling is not late fall, but rather, if applicable, early afternoon. Somehow it's an item strictly reserved for middle-aged overweight bus drivers in my neck of the woods.
- brk 4y agoThat is a good system if you spend most of your time in the same general area/climate. I live in a warm climate and have managed to transition to doing very little business travel anymore. But when I go someplace where it's too cold to wear shorts and t-shirt (or where I just want to wear something slightly more business appropriate) I often have to pack things that I might not have worn for a year or more.
