It’s been 5 years since we minimized our wardrobe for two. Did we manage to keep it minimal and uncluttered? For the most part, yes! This is the decluttering method we came up with that worked flawlessly for us. Introducing the fondness/frequency matrix by Thoughtworthy ;)

Seasonal changes and body fluctuations. I’m not sure if I will want to wear it next season or I will forget to take all the winter clothes out of storage etc.

The most challenging is considering your "office clothes" especially when a certain event require a specific kind and design of clothing.

@SMHartNPC 6 ай бұрын

I get bored and want more color sometimes. So each season i pick a color to add some pieces in. It's an ongoing challenge.

@Dilmahkana 11 ай бұрын

I found working from home really helped to not hold onto clothes I wasn't actually fond of. Strange world we're forced into with 'office work'.

@joselucnico 11 ай бұрын

To work, it is better to adopt a disciplined attitude and dress, as well as treat yourself.

I love this approach of frequency and preference. It puts things into perspective

I love the fondness/frequency matrix! I've never thought of it like that, but it looks like it'll hold a lot of value for me later. Unfortunately for me, my biggest challenge in keeping a minimalist wardrobe is that I simply don't have the money to replace the clothes that need to go, so a lot of stuff I own is something I'm not fond of, but have to wear frequently. It's hard to feel confident when I don't like how my outfits look, sadly.

Same here, plus most of my clothes are too small now 😢 try japanese Boro* style (and dye it (black)) 😉 *patch together textile pieces

@Simplyluvly 10 ай бұрын

This is a decluttering process that really makes sense and easy to do. I frequently wear not fond clothes at home just because the budget for buying new clothes are for something else, something more important.

Really enjoyed this video. Love the fondness / frequency matrix! I track everything I wear and so I also have the data of how much everything really gets worn. This has been the biggest help in my minimalising!

@ThoughtworthyCo 10 ай бұрын

Wow, that sounds like useful data to have, but would require some diligence and dedication. Very nice! 💪

My clothes are now getting smaller in number, but I am still on the process of choosing office-friendly wardrobe. Hoping to be able to have a good number of clothes which will not compromise my work and want in terms of clothing.

I love that way of looking at things! It’s easy to keep too many pieces for rare occasions. I had a lot of duplicates that were for the same function. I live in a climate where it’s easy to collect a lot of different types of jackets - for mild weather, really cold weather, raining heavily, a little bit, raining in warm weather, or not raining, city style or casual hiking style... I think I’m down to 4 now. Not bad considering we need jackets about 9-10 months of the year.

@ThoughtworthyCo 11 ай бұрын

Lucky for us, we don't have that problem since we only have summer here 😆 but four sounds like a reasonable number of jackets for a different climate! 🙌

@jennybanana2296 11 ай бұрын

Great tips! My biggest challenge is that I live in a country with four seasons and you need a lot of space for winter clothes. Besides, I need a different wardrobe for work.

Great video! Biggest challenge is 4 separate seasons with temperatures ranging from 100F to low teens F And needing running clothes and jackets for workouts vs casual clothes and occasional dress clothes. Wide variety of needs based on temperature and activities But I like your quadrant idea I will try it

My biggest challenge is thrift store shopping. I do it infrequently, but it seems I always end up coming home with one or two things that I liked in the store, really loved the price, but end up never wearing because in practical life it doesn't fit quite right.

Oh we understand! Unfortunately what we like may not always be the most practical for us 😞

Finding a cohesive color and texture pallet. I need versatile pieces that can range from work appropriate, house clothes, and formal. It took years of doing, but I think I've got it.

No challenge @ all. If I have to dress up to go to a venue, I rather not go. If the venue cannot accept my attire, it's not my loss. Such as weddings. If I wanna go, I wear what I want. Restaurants etc. My everyday attire is tank top and shorts and slippers. Best. Gave your video a like.

Have you ever been in a situation where you've bought a few bulky "winter" clothes for overseas trip like winter in japan, however the trips have been sporadic?

@ThoughtworthyCo 11 ай бұрын

That's definitely a likely scenario. We don't actually have any winter wear at the moment (no trips planned, unfortunately!), but the storage space under our bed is where we would allocate our infrequently worn, bulky clothing :)

@grandadslifehacks8992 11 ай бұрын

When you purchase new items for your wardrobe, I was just curious if you factor in sustainability. I just watched the 2015 documentary called The True Cost, and was shocked by the damage that fast fashion does.

@ThoughtworthyCo 11 ай бұрын

We do try to pay attention, but if we’re honest it’s not an area where we do our best, since we don’t do as much homework on the brands, etc. going into it compared to other big purchases. But that’s a good question!
