Mucking out the wardrobe: We will part with these parts – NOW!

Wardrobe detox!
We are banning these 6 parts from our wardrobe – NOW!

by Ann-Christin Gebhardt

Detox is trendy. It goes without saying that we will be at the start right away * cough *. However, we did not book ourselves into a sinfully expensive hotel somewhere in the middle of nowhere in order to be infused with juices for two weeks that not only flush supposed toxins, but also our good mood from the body. Instead, we make ourselves comfortable in front of the closet at home with a glass of wine and leftover Christmas cookies to finally put an end to the Messi madness, aka the unbridled hoarding of textile nonsense. In short: we muck out – but with common sense! After all, in addition to all the fashionable derailments, in the end just as many tears should not flow. Because hand on heart: There are simply parts that really – REALLY! – have absolutely nothing to look for in the sacred two square meters of our bedroom. That would be …

1. Parts that no longer fit!

Insight can sometimes be a pretty ass – we feel you! But it doesn't help. No matter how often we plan to take a look at the inside of the fitness studio, in which we have been a member for 8,735 years, and to send the bar of chocolate, which is one of our staple foods at least in the evening, into diet nirvana – we will never be in The jeans fit, into which we could squeeze ourselves so easily at 20. Only one thing helps: a big sip of wine and out with all the cupboard oaks beyond our current clothing size.

2. Parts with poor quality!

The polyester shirt for five euros was maybe the hot shit when we were studying, but it really isn't anymore today. After all, there is a reason why parts with poor quality now eke out a sad existence in the depths of our closet. They don't sit, scratch and smell as soon as our body even thinks about secreting a droplet of sweat. Really now, away with it!

3. High heels in which we cannot walk!

Yes, high heels are super sexy. Unfortunately, not being able to walk in it is embarrassing. Heels that ensure that our orthopedist can go into early retirement with a full account have no business in our closet. Also: Kittenheels, mules and loafers are much more popular right now. By the way, we should also say goodbye to shoes that cause blisters or pressure points and therefore hurt ourselves just looking at them. Even the 185th entry will unfortunately not change anything – #isso!

4. Socks that don't go together!

Well, how many single socks are flying around in your underwear drawer, desperately looking for their counterpart? We are of course aware that the dryer is solely to blame for this condition, but it's still useless: The selfish beast in your laundry room will no longer give out the BFFs of your single socks in this life. So do yourself and the sad creatures in your drawer a favor and dispose of them.

5. Parts that are torn!

We all need so-called scruffy clothes in which we can throw ourselves on the couch after a stressful day – but please not a whole cupboard full of them. Gammelhose and a gammelshirt are sufficient to develop our chi during the evening Netflix bing. That's why: Any clothes in which we wouldn't even take out the rubbish has nothing to do with us from now on.

6. Parts that are braver than us!

The influencers show how we can do it? Not a good idea! Because butter for the fish: What Caro Daur and Co. wear up and down on Instagram usually ends up as a closet corpse with a centimeter thick layer of dust. So we take another deep breath and part with all the parts that would take more than a glass of wine for us to ever go out on the street. Incidentally, this also applies to all parts that still have a price tag. What we didn't want to wear up to now, we won't wear in the future either – sad, but unfortunately true!
