What’s your biggest challenge in keeping a minimalist wardrobe? Let us know if you have any questions! For more info, read our accompanying article: medium.com/@thoughtworthyco/want-a-minimalist-wardrobe-try-this-clever-way-of-decluttering-clothes-3bf4c5c889a
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.
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.
I find that my biggest challenge is that I love to wear fun, quirky, and colourful clothes. It has been and is a challenging to keep a wardrobe that makes me happy, while at the same time not having too many items.
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.
I'm going to be returning to the office in a few weeks and I'm working on doing more of a capsule wardrobe. This is a great method for simplifying it. Thanks.
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!
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
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.
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.
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! 🙌
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.
Hey, I’m a fan here from the Philippines! Just wanna ask if where did you get that so simple minimalist drawer? Because it really catch my eyes and wanna get that as an inspi actually for my plan changing closet. Thank you. ❤️
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.
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.
i find this a bit more forgiving than the KonMari method. i'm not in a financial position where i can replace clothes easily, hence the clutter. this is more practical for me rather than finding what set of clothes spark joy within me
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.
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!
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?
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 :)
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.
Haha guess you could consider if you would put on those clothes if you had a *choice*? Hopefully that can give a better indicator of where those pieces rank!
I put some clothes away in a memory bin as sentimental items if I wasn’t actually wearing them much. That way they don’t clutter my daily wear wardrobe.

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.
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.
"Blind leading the blind."
I ❤ your humour 😂😆

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

Us too! 🙌

It's not easy, but we believe you'll get there! Thanks for sharing 🙌
I love this approach of frequency and preference. It puts things into perspective
Glad to hear, hope it helps! 🙌

One step at a time! Good luck 💪
Same here, plus most of my clothes are too small now 😢 try japanese Boro* style (and dye it (black)) 😉
*patch together textile pieces

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

Thank goodness we only have one season here, makes our life much easier 😅 All the best!

Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed your last wardrobe video and was excited when I saw this one pop up. 🤗
Hope you enjoyed it! 🤗
Nice matrix & triangle models. Thanks.
Glad you like it!
This is brilliant! I am going to go thru my wardrobe with these questions.
All the best!
I thoroughly enjoyed the style of this video, the editing and shots. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

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

Your comment gives me The Big Lebowski feelings 😂😆❤
Yes we should all care less what others think 🖒🖒
When I open my wardrobe, I hear "Welcome to Uniqlo!"
😂

Totally understand what you mean. Hope you found this helpful! 🙌
Wow❤

My biggest challenge in trying to maintain a capsule wardrobe is making sure I don't look like I'm wearing a set of school uniform to work everyday 😂
😄 understandable!

That's great! We're still trying to figure out our color palette ourselves 😄
@@ThoughtworthyCo I love what you have so far! I use your content when I'm feeling unsure or like the odd man out.
Which size Muji drawers are they?
Challenge for me: pieces i find beautiful, but are uncomfortable. Am I fond of them??? I'm not even sure.... 😅
Haha guess you could consider if you would put on those clothes if you had a *choice*? Hopefully that can give a better indicator of where those pieces rank!
Where do you guys usually like to buy clothes from?
A lot of our clothes are from Uniqlo! 😅
My biggest problem is I live in a country with 4 seasons, and i'm also on frequent diets
Definitely a lot harder having four seasons!
I have too many "backups" from my schooling days that I am biased towards cos of the fond memories.
Oh yes, we had that problem too but we realized realistically we'll never put some of those pieces on again 😅
I put some clothes away in a memory bin as sentimental items if I wasn’t actually wearing them much. That way they don’t clutter my daily wear wardrobe.
Where'd you get those drawers from?
They're from Muji
Hardest part is trying to keep it minimal and according to my taste when my wife spontaniously keeps buying me new clothes… 😅
🤣
She loves you and wants to make you feel better ❤
Every minimalist can relate 😂

Who are you?
Honestly life is too short to wear tattered and torn underwear😂
😂
Please us AI to do the voiceover PLEASE
No.
Hire voice actor? @@ThoughtworthyCo
I've noticed your drawers have yellowed over time :(
Yes they have, unfortunately 😔
@@ThoughtworthyCo same problem with Nintendo consoles' plastic! I fixed that with just soap water and a sponge. You can do it too! 💪😉
