Carefully Analyze Your Collection

This is the first step that you should take in order to convert your closet into a minimalist closet. For sure, your closet might be filled with all types of clothes and stuff that you thought you might need someday, but it is occupying space unnecessarily. You do not need to stuff your wardrobe with things you do not use; this way, you will have a clear eye for what you will be using in your daily life. 

So better take out all the clothes or footwear that you do not wear anymore. No, do not throw them away; instead, you can either donate them or make a closet clearance sale this way, someone else can wear or style them. Closet clearance is important; this way, you get to know all the clothes in your possession that you might have forgotten about also.

Buy Matching Hangers 

Yes, go and buy matching hangers for yourself. You should change all your mismatched hangers and buy all matching hangers for your wardrobe. Also, buy hangers according to the number of clothes you have, so a total number of clothes is equal to the number of clothes. If you want your closet to look fashionable, then you can do this, buy hangers that will match your wardrobe color. 

Do Not Get Attached To Your Clothes  

If you are keeping an old dress that you do not wear anymore, but you are keeping those clothes because they either seem pretty or else you have some related sentiments connected to them. Minimalism means using minimum things that are useful for you and donating or removing all the other things that might be occupying space in your wardrobe. 

It is important to clear the air inside this way you will get space for your new clothes which you need, plus your old clothes will get more recognition and space, and you will be able to involve them in your style. 

If It Doesn't Fit, You Do Not Need It

We often buy and keep clothes that we buy because of the thought that they may look pretty on us. But sometimes we buy clothes which do not fit our size, thinking that we will put ourselves on a diet and one day we will wear them. You should stop doing this because this way, you are just collecting more stuff and not even using them at the current time.

Minimalism is about buying things for your use and giving up all others that are of no use; this way, you are clearing your personal space. Also, the purpose behind it is to save resources and cause less pollution. So when buying limited and needed items, you will be using them for a longer time compared to the one that you are buying because you think you need them.      

Things You Should Have In Your Wardrobe     

Clothes are the ones that can tell how fashionable and minimalist you are. For example, keeping an experimental dress that you are probably going to wear just once or twice VS your basic clothes that are comfortable and you will be wearing for weeks. Let's see what things you should have in your closet which are less in number and are also very useful.

• You should have three to four long-sleeved shirts in your collection.
• If you are looking for a woman's minimalist closet, then you should consider buying two-three cardigans or sweaters to layer it up with your tank tops. 
• Have one to two business-appropriate outfits, and keep the blazers and jackets you have in a separate section. Also, try to involve them more in your casual outfits to make your basic clothes chic.   

These are some basic necessities that you should have; further, you can include other things that you think are important for your basic clothes. Also, you should organize them in the proper shelf so that you can easily get access to them while you are dressing. This way you can see all the clothes in your possession which will help you not to shop necessarily.
