SOMETIMES the hardest part about cleaning out your closet can be deciding what should be kept and what needs to go – but no more of that.
An expert has revealed the five-question rule that will help with all the indecisiveness.
DOES IT STILL FIT?
When you're starting out, you first have to ask yourself 'does it still currently fit as it use to?'
If it doesn't, then it automatically gets tossed.
But if you see any real potential for it, a Cosmopolitan expert suggested transforming it into something else that can eventually be even more useful to you.
That's not to say that most people aren't guilty of still holding onto those special jeans from the 90s, hoping they slim back into them.

However, sooner or later, you'll have to parts ways with every piece of clothing.
ARE THERE ANY STAINS?
Every top or bottom has its expiration date, even those that are only brought out when you stay home or for those deep cleaning days around the house.
And aside from being comfortable, loungewear should be stain-free so if it's got too much discoloration, it's most likely time to let it go.
WILL I WEAR THIS MORE THAN ONCE?
As far as this question, you'll want to be honest and really try to envision pairing the item with any other outfits for work or any upcoming event.

If you can't think of any legitimate occasion that you'll be using it for, it's time to toss it.
And besides wasting money purchasing one-night dresses, keep in mind it's also reducing more space in your closet.
CAN I WEAR THIS ITEM NEXT SEASON?
Aside from looking fabulous, your clothes should make you confident enough to strunt any runway.
So despite any current trend, if it doesn't make you feel good wearing it then it's definitely time to donate.
Another indication that it may be time to part ways with an item is if you've forgotten all about it because clearly you never needed it in the first place.
IS IT VERSATILE?
One question to ask not just when you're getting ready to donate, but when you're out shopping is if the item can be used in more than one way.
In other words, can you use the blouse to go from day to night, or casual to dressy?
