There are plenty of reasons why we buy and then hold on to clothes that never get worn, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Here, we break down 10 wardrobe resolutions to undertake in 2018 so that you can make space, save money and look the best you ever have.

According to a new study reported by The Guardian, UK shoppers own £10 billion worth of clothes that they don’t wear. Broken down, this means that, on average, we each individually have £200 worth of clothing unnecessarily taking up the very precious space in our wardrobes.

1. Don’t buy something for just one occasion.

We’re all guilty of it. A wedding, a Christmas party, a Friday night reunion with old friends. Heading somewhere exciting means we inevitably feel like we need something special – and therefore something new – to wear. However, more often than not, as much as we like the piece that we buy, it rarely gets more than one outing.

2. Don’t buy or keep something that doesn’t fit.

It’s not uncommon to hold on to items that no longer fit you in the hope that they will again one day. It’s also not uncommon to buy something in a size too small as an incentive to lose weight or because it’s in the sale and they don’t have your usual size.

3. Don’t buy or keep something that doesn’t suit you.

As well as holding onto things that don’t fit, many of us keep pieces that we know don’t suit us. Often we’ve bought something on a whim because it’s a big trend or because we saw someone else wearing it and thought they looked amazing

4. Don’t buy something just because it’s a bargain.

It’s easy to be won over by a big discount, and you should make the most of huge markdowns – especially when it comes to investment designer pieces – but only if that piece is something that you really need to add to your arsenal.

5. Don’t go on extravagant shopping sprees.

Often we get stuck in style ruts, feel like we hate everything in our wardrobes and have nothing to wear. When this happens, more often than not, we go on a big shopping spree and end up spending huge amounts of money on exactly these trend-led items that end up sitting in our wardrobes forever, never being worn.

6. Make an effort to discover new brands.

Another reason we get stuck into style ruts is because we get attached to and comfortable with certain shops. It’s great to have your core favorites who you trust and you know last well, but there are always so many new, amazing brands hitting the market that are waiting to be discovered.

7. Make some tough decisions.

Nobody likes throwing things away. To part with a piece of clothing sometimes means letting go of memories, which can be really tough to do. However, there’s no need to hold on to everything you’ve ever loved, especially if it’s something you haven’t worn for decades.

Just think of the space you’ll save
