From the designer: Fashion guidance for the new year (3 tips for becoming a sharply dressed man)

Tip 2 of 3

Maintain your closet, manage your portfolio. At least once a year (better yet, once a quarter), go through your closet and pare down. Give away anything that you haven’t worn in a year. Many less fortunate than you will be grateful for the hand-me-downs. You will gain space, simplicity, and peace of mind. When you go through your closet, make a few mental notes—think about the articles you wear all the time and get the most utility out of, and why. You’ll learn more about how you like to put your outfits together and what you should buy more of. You’ll also notice that you buy a lot of stuff that you don’t wear much, if ever. Time to improve the utility of your wardrobe. Stop buying crap. Spend more on high quality variations of the brands and designs that you like best. Think twice before buying stuff you know you won’t wear often.
