   Step 2: Examine the clothing you like.

   Look for similarities and ask yourself why you like each piece.

   Mark these reasons down on a list so you know what to look for later on. , Ask yourself if there are any pieces that have unfulfilled potential, like a tailor-fit blazer in a bland color or dress trousers that need to be hemmed up.
   
   Return these pieces to your closet or dresser. , Theoretically, you should be left with clothes that do not flatter you and clothes that follow tired trends.
   
   Make a second list of all the attributes you do not like so you know what not to look for when you go shopping. , You can give it away to a relative or close friend, or you can take it to a secondhand shop or charity. , If your garments have stains or rips, toss them out. , Keep pieces that you like and, depending on the quality, either donate or dispose of pieces you hate.
