About International Clean Out Your Closet Week
Safety & Security
Ends: Mar 22, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
International Clean Out Your Closet Week, spanning the equinox, encourages people to declutter and organize their wardrobes. It has gained popularity among home organization enthusiasts, lifestyle bloggers, and professional organizers. Cleaning out one's closet aligns with the broader movement towards minimalism and efficient home organization, championed by the growing trend of sustainable living.
International Clean Out Your Closet Week emerged from contemporary trends emphasizing decluttering and home organization in preparation for Spring and the act of turning the closet. Turning the closet refers to removing winter clothes, storing them, and replacing them with Spring and Summer clothes. The rise of consumer culture in recent decades, followed by a push towards more mindful consumption, has made regularly cleaning out and reevaluating personal belongings more relevant.
During International Clean Out Your Closet Week, participants are encouraged to sort through their clothing and other items stored in closets, deciding what to keep, donate, or discard. Charity organizations that benefit from clothing and household items donations often support the event. It also receives attention from environmental groups advocating for reducing waste and promoting sustainable fashion and consumer goods practices.
SEVEN QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CLEANING YOUR CLOSET
When cleaning out and reorganizing your closet, it's helpful to ask yourself questions to guide the process and decide what to keep, discard, or donate. Here are seven key questions to consider:
Have I worn this in the last year?
If you last wore an item in the past year, you're unlikely to wear it again. Unworn indicates it's time to let it go.
Does it fit me well, and is it comfortable?
Clothing that doesn't fit comfortably or flatter your body is unlikely to be worn. Keeping only those items that fit well ensures your closet contains clothes you'll wear.
Is it in good condition?
Check for any wear and tear. Items damaged, faded, or irreparably stained should be discarded unless you can quickly fix them.
Is it still in style, and does it align with my current tastes?
Our style evolves. If something is outdated or no longer matches your taste, consider removing it from your wardrobe.
Does this item have sentimental value?
Some items hold sentimental value. However, you must be selective and realistic about how many items you keep.
Is this item versatile?
Consider how well the piece integrates with the rest of your wardrobe. Items you can wear in multiple ways or with various outfits are more valuable in a functional, streamlined closet.
Would I buy this item today?
This question helps you assess the item's current value to you. If you don't choose to buy it now, it might not be worth keeping.
Asking these questions can help create a more functional, organized, and enjoyable closet with items you love and use.
International Clean Out Your Closet Week taps into the growing awareness and enthusiasm for home organization and sustainable living. Its relevance is rooted in contemporary societal trends that value minimalism, organization, and conscious consumerism.
