    A few unworn items, some I keep on thinking "I will wear if I can find a matching top/bottom" They really must go.

    I am not too bad though, I do a swap when the seasons change. Any winter only items get put away and the summer items come out, (and of course in reverse). When I do the swap over, I will often get rid of a few pieces.

    Actually at the stage of updating my wardrobe due to working again, so a lot of the home stuff is starting to get thrown.

    I clean out reguarly. I only have one unused never worn garment still with tags on.

    Some I have not worn for a while. I clean our pretty much every season, I don't necessarily replace, just clean out.
    I have a few items that would be classed as vintage now Those I keep!
    My wedding dress I have only worn once, will keep it for DD. I know of couples that regularly get back into their wedding gear for a night in.

    I'm pretty good but will hang on to sentimental things too. Will also hang on to things that I really love but don't fit me anymore as a bit of inspiration.

    I have my wedding dress and can't imagine ever getting rid of it. Its the most incredibly gorgeous dress I have ever or will ever own and represents for me a day where I felt truly beautiful, which is definitely not something I feel the rest of the time. DD1 has already told me she wants to wear it when she gets married - long way off and I certainly won't hold her to it but I would love it if one of my girls did wear it.

    Zero. Everything in my cupboard has been worn at least once. Just not necessarily by me I buy and acquire a lot of vintage and pre-loved clothes.

    I try to wear my wedding dress on every anniversary. The last two we have been separated by distance, but I love wearing it. I spent months making it, I like to make the most out of it, by randomly wearing it out, and getting my photo taken with plush shark mascots outside the aquarium.

    If I have something sentimental that I'm not wearing, I like to give it to somebody worthy, tell them its story, and hope that they will keep its legacy alive. I have a few clothes from my MIL that are like this.
