There will be a point when some of the clothes in your closet are no longer good enough for you. They might already be out of style. Or if not, you turned a size bigger. If you can’t wear them anymore, here are some ideas on what to do.

Donate these clothes to charity
If you can't wear these clothes, someone else will. Charitable organisations are willing to accept old clothes as long as they're in good condition. You may also segregate them according to purpose and drop them at various donation boxes. If you have a lot to give, coordinate with an organisation to accept all of them.

Have a yard sale
Hosting a yard sale is also another option. Apart from disposing of the clothes you're no longer wearing, you can also make money out of them. If you believe it's still risky to hold a yard sale, you may sell your clothes online. Live selling is already a thing these days, and it's something you must consider.

Expand your closet
If you can’t dispose of these clothes yet, consider expanding your closet. You can keep them for a while until you decide what to do with what you’re not going to use anymore. Besides, you might want to shop in the future and add more to your closet. Check out www.myfittedbedroom.com to find customised closet builders. Discuss the design details to your specifications and proceed with the construction.

Mix and match
You might not like these clothes individually, but you can breathe new life into them by mixing and matching. Pair them up and see where it goes. You might like what you see and decide not to let go of these clothes. Besides, you spent a lot to own them. You can’t quickly give them away. Be creative in deciding how to make the most of these clothes. You may also ask for help from friends you consider fashion experts.

Repurpose them
If these clothes are no longer in good condition, you can reuse the fabrics. In addition, there might be art and craft projects where these fabrics are still useful. Look up some YouTube tutorial videos, and give these ideas a shot.

Give them to the people you know
Another option is to hand these clothes to the people you know. For example, you might have siblings, friends, or relatives who will look great in these clothes. Ask them which clothing they want to have and give it away.

Learn from your mistakes
You can find ways to make the most of the clothes that you won’t wear anymore. However, it should also teach you a lesson about buying clothes only when you need them. You already have a lot in your closet, but you keep buying anyway. You also shop online since everything is available with a click. You don’t want to end up with too many clothes to give away again because you’re not careful with your purchases.
