Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe and start the season feeling lighter, brighter, and more confident. But tackling your closet can feel overwhelming—what should stay, what should go, and how can you make the most of what you already own? We’ve got you covered with this simple decluttering guide, plus tips on timeless staples, outfit refresh ideas, and versatile pieces from Love Marlow that will make your wardrobe work for you all year long.
Before you start adding new pieces, take a step back and assess what you have. A clean, organized closet helps you see your options clearly and makes getting dressed easier.
How to Decide What Stays & What Goes:
✔️ Keep: Pieces you love, wear often, and feel confident in. If it’s a versatile staple that pairs well with multiple outfits, it’s a keeper!
🗑️ Toss (or Donate!): Anything that no longer fits, is damaged beyond repair, or hasn’t been worn in over a year. Give someone else the chance to love it!
♻️ Refresh: Items that still fit but feel outdated. With the right layering, accessories, or styling tricks, these pieces can feel brand new again!
Some wardrobe staples never go out of style. These timeless pieces are worth holding onto or investing in if you don’t have them yet:
👍 A Well-Fitting Pair of Jeans - Dark-wash denim is endlessly versatile and season-less. (Try our expertly curated Denim Collection!)
👍 A Classic Button-Down or Blouse - Perfect for layering in cooler months and wearing solo in warmer weather.
👍 A Great Blazer or Cardigan - Adds instant polish and works across multiple seasons.
👍 A Flattering Dress - A go-to piece that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
👍 Basic Tees & Tanks - The foundation of a mix-and-match wardrobe.
Before you toss those “meh” items, consider giving them new life with these simple styling tricks:
✨ Layer It Differently - Add a cropped jacket over a flowy top or tuck in a loose tunic for a more defined silhouette.
✨ Change Up Accessories - A belt, statement earrings, or a scarf can instantly update an outfit. (Shop our Accessories now!)
✨ Try a New Color Combo - Pair neutrals with a pop of color to make old pieces feel fresh again.
✨ Tailor It - A slight hem adjustment or taking in a waist can turn an outdated piece into a new favorite.
