Get Ready for Fall Fashions

Summertime is Wardrobe-Weeding Time

By Jeanne Winnick Brennan and Carol McCain

Summertime, when the living is easy and the closets are full, is an ideal time for weeding fashion’s faux pas from your wardrobe to make room for the new fall season.
    For many years, it was common practice for dry goods stores to periodically close their doors and take stock of their inventory. Long before computers, this practice helped business owners verify what was selling and what was not.
    Today, you can use a similar system to get your wardrobe ready for fall. Clothes have a definite shelf life and chances are not everything in your closet is au courant. 
    If that suit you had tailored in Hong Kong eight years ago is still with you, it’s time to plan a new purchase. The same can be said for shoes, ties, shirts, accessories and even workout gear. Although styles often return, they never come back in exactly the same fashion.
    You don’t have to get rid of all the clothes you haven’t worn in two years, but you can give them a new assignment. Your most comfortable, worn pair of Topsiders or moccasins, for example, may need to be relegated to weekend fishing or mowing the lawn and a new pair placed at the top of the pecking order.
