i have been doing this for a couple of years now and it has:
a) saved me tons of cash
b) meant that I can wear all the clothes I love regardless of the season

the thing that helps me most is keeping my closet relatively sparse. i’ve found that having a solid selection of essentials helps me pick outfits quick just by mixing and matching between layers. especially if you know what colors/cuts work for your body type and tone and stick mainly to those, picking an outfit is just a matter of checking off bottoms, tops, outer layer, shoes, etc. this method will lead to repeat outfits but fr who cares if you look good in it?? I literally have one kind of sock but just tons of pairs of it because I know it goes with everything.
obv this advice does not apply to stuff like formal wear and seasonal stuff like winter gear/swimwear that will only be worn occasionally, but keeping just the A-team selections you have and filling specific niches with what you buy as you phase stuff out that you no longer wear means you always know you look good in what you have.
tldr: if you don’t wear something, you won’t miss it. only keep what you wear

My current trick:
Sell everything you don’t wear a lot on Vinted
Buy nothing new for a while (i havent bought anything new at all for the whole of January and intend to continue).
if there are things you really want keep a note of it. (generally a specific type of thing rather than one version is it which is probably just buying into a trend/branding). For example I am currently in the market for a good quality tight cotton striped turtleneck, preferably red and white and a basic skin-tight tshirt.
Use the money you earn from Vinted to shop around and find a high quality sustainable and/or second hand version of that thing.
Replace items in your wardrobe at a ratio of at least 5 sold things to 1 well made, repairable, timeless thing.
I am hoping to make getting dressed in 2025 so much easier.

even though it’s not one purchase, simplifying and gaining pieces with quality and durability has made it easier to dress myself and also allow for less decision making.

I bought this book months ago, tried to read it and gave up because for whatever reason, it seemed boring. Tried again yesterday and wasn’t able to put it down. It was perfectly paced and gut-wrenchingly intelligent and made me want to curl up on my couch and read it all over again.
Total masterpiece. Nolan put words together in a way I’ve never ever seen before. Please please please read this book.
