Nothing to wear? Problem could be your closet's full.
Yes, that's right: full. Too full. Full of clothes too old, too threadbare, too dopey or too marginal to wear.
"About a year and a half ago I spent a good three weeks clearing out pieces in my wardrobe that I had been collecting for 15 years," says fashion designer James Perse. "You find pieces that you remember spending so much money on and you hate to dispose of them, but in the end you just have to let them go."
Men in particular hold on to items that are past their prime, says Ginny Snook Scott, spokeswoman for California Closets.
"Our design experts have been in hundreds of thousands of closets across the country," she says, "and we've found that men are especially prone to holding on to items from their past--high school letterman jackets, favorite concert T-shirts, their first baseball mitt--things that are 10 or even 20 years old."
