closet purge

Clothing elimination session

A closet purge is a thorough clearing out of one's wardrobe, getting rid of clothes that no longer fit, flatter, or get worn.

The term frames decluttering as a cleansing ritual: I did a major closet purge and donated three bags to Goodwill.

Often prompted by seasonal changes, moves, or lifestyle shifts.
