Declutter your wardrobe and get rid of all the clothes you don’t want any more and the ones you haven’t worn in years and have been sitting there and collecting dust. We have to be honest with ourselves, ask your yourself; “am I really going to wear this?”

Step 2: Inspect Your Clothes
Once you have chosen which garments you want to get rid of and sell, you must then start to inspect them. Check for wear and tear, stains and piling, and if there is any then you should get the garment repaired if the damage is repairable. Remember to wash your clothes before you re-sell them.
