1. Buy ~15 copies of everything.
2. Not think about what to wear! Everything is roughly the same.
3. Throw out everything every ~3 years. A couple of months before that, start buying new models of clothes to find the best one.
4. Goto 1.
This is so important. You'd think that manufacturers would just keep the same stuff for sale all the time for all time but it doesn't work that way. Lands End comes close for button shirts and wool trousers, but that formality level is wasteful for work from home.
Edit: At first the 15 copies seemed excessive since only 7 are needed for weekly laundry, but basically you can get 2x longevity out of the stock based on laundry wear.

1 week of clothes does not provide enough safety buffer for forgetfulness and procrastination. Also, travelling.
Do you not procure multiple copies of items that have a high value assessment?
There are a bunch of more expensive unique items too. I do actually find it a bit interesting to see which ones float to the top and which ones don’t.
Funny you mention Marie Kondo though. I do roll my clothes instead of folding them before putting them away into the cubes. I don’t entirely get it but it seems more space efficient that way.
I've been doing this for decades, but have never encountered this problem. I think because of a combination of the fact that I didn't buy my entire wardrobe all at once to begin with and that different clothes wear at different rates.
How do you approach this? Would it make sense to buy one of those shelf springs that grocery stores use to keep boxes towards the from of the shelf?
