Use the 90/90 Rule for Clothes You Never Wear

The Problem

Your closet is packed but you wear the same 15 items. 80% of your clothes are taking up space.

The Hack

Go through your closet. For each item: Have I worn this in the last 90 days? Will I wear it in the next 90? If no to both, it goes into the donate pile.

Why It Works

Most people wear 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time. The 90/90 rule surfaces the truth: if it hasn't been relevant for 3 months and won't be for 3 more, it's not part of your actual life.

Pro Tips

• Season-specific items get a pass (winter coats in summer)
• Turn all hangers backward — after 90 days, anything still backward goes
• Sentimental items: take a photo, then donate the physical item
• Poshmark or ThredUp can turn donations into cash
