Closet Confessions: My Top Ten Tips For Culling Your Wardrobe | Fashion Haul | Trinny

- Are you overdue a wardrobe cull? Let’s say goodbye to what no longer serves us in today’s Closet Confessions. The timing couldn’t be better for a fresh start - not only is it January, but we’re about to host our biannual clothes swap at Trinny London HQ, so I’ve been raiding my wardrobe for pieces I think should go to a new home. When deciding what to keep and what to give away, there are a few key points to consider. If the cut, colour, fabric or style of a piece no longer works for the woman you are today, pass it on to someone who will truly cherish it…
Take a whistle-stop tour through Trinny Woodall’s (fifteen) wardrobes with Closet Confessions. In each episode, Trinny deep-dives into a particular section of her closet, mixing high street, vintage, designer and everything in between. This is everything you’ve ever wanted to know about fashion and styling, from the expert herself.

Oh please do a follow up and show us some of the 'old' clothes on some of the 'new' owners. That would be such fun!!!
Yes
Yes please 😊
Yes!
Great idea ❤
Yea it would be great to actually watch the swap in progress
Molly is so cute. She already had the trousers separated so nobody would take them 😂😂, go Molly!!!!
I’d just add a note of caution that although many of us put on weight in our mid years, we lose it again in our 60s so I’ve had a lot of enjoyment in wearing things that I haven’t fit in 20 years. Keep your favorites.
This happened to me, too. At age 62, I’m 35 lbs. lighter than at my peak weight in my early 50s. I’m so glad I kept the best (like silk dresses) “too tight” items, they fit again. I do regret donating my top-quality, classic blazers when I retired, I just can’t find that quality today, everything is lined with polyester, even a lot of designers use it. I just can’t wear polyester, I’m holding out for those 100% wool ones with breathable linings. Happily, I just found one at Banana Republic (rayon lined, it’s great), the only brand that seems to be listening to its customers. To all brands: we don’t want plastic clothes, I, for one, just won’t buy them!🙂
This happened to me too in my late 50’s. I now weigh what I did in my 20’s and it’s taken a bit of getting used to mentally. I’m glad I kept some of my favourite pieces over the years in my “vault” , especially the designer ones as I can wear them again now.
I totally agree with this advice. I kept many of my clothes simply because I bought them and I love them. I have my Betsey Johnson with the punk label from the late 70s/ early 80s as well as my beautiful dresses from merry go round, sweaters and outfits from Express, etc.. I only wish I had kept every single thing. I intend to get into my attic to my vintage collection as soon as I can and if any of them fit me I will wear them. I adore them. An exchange swap would not work with me and my friends because they don’t spend the kind of money on clothes that I have and still do , unfortunately. I wish they did, lol!
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 omg I here you. Been selling my office wear on vinted
Coming in over a year later, so no-one will read this, but I REALLY hope this is true. I'm 63, have been losing weight post-retirement -- quite naturally -- and am now starting to actually diet. Am really hoping that I will get back down to what I was in my early 40s, late 30s. I too still have a box of 'tiny vintage' that I just couldn't bear to part with, and I'm haunted by a bunch of great stuff that I gave away.
It would be cool to see your clothes then on the people who nabbed them to see how it suits them more.
Yes, I‘d find that very interesting as well!
Yes, I love that idea.
Yes
Omg I wish I worked there twice a year for these swap outs 😊
Would love this in better quality. Its quite pixelated when you make the screen bigger. Again I am a trinny fan and just want to see clear resolution.
Very informative. I will remember your ten reasons why.
A follow up would be fun!
Personally, when traveling, I buy Christmas ornaments. It's enjoyable pulling them out once a year and remembering our time where each was found ❤️
Great tip about holiday purchases! I am travelling through India at the moment and have to constantly remind myself that the gorgeousness in the shops here does not translate well to black-is-the-new-black Melbourne. I've made that mistake way too many times already! 😅
I can see the Boden rainbow dress I bought after seeing Trinny and Chloe in it. It looked awful in the bust so I got it made into a skirt and made a headband from the excess fabric. It looks amazing like that. I love it. Maybe instead of stopping yourself from shopping, you could look into the charity Smart Works which gives new life to clothes for professional women and women returning to work who can’t afford new work clothes. You could even help them with some styling!
That sounds like a great and very worthwhile cause 👍😊.
"...and a bun"!!! OMG that comment made me laugh! 🤪🤪 When I go on holiday, I usually buy a tea towel LOL!!
Barbara Cartland was step Grandmother to the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Thank you for proving you’re human and make mistakes too, Trinny!
Nnm
It's really nice to know that we all occasionally think the same thing and buy clothes we know won't work, but we're just so...hopeful!!!
i love closet confessions a lot--its my favorite content from Trinny. I have to ask why it is shot in vertical when it seems to live only on CZcams now? the picture quality would be better shot horizontal.
So many upcycling options! My creative cogs are grinding 😂 I feel a Trinny London swap shop would be a thing!
Love the idea of a clothes swap. Wouldn't work for me as sadly Trinny is a completely different shape to me but those girls who work with her are so lucky.
Your outfit in this video, next level 🔥 Stunning! Just stunning! Love how you wear black when you do occasionally wear it. Inspiring!
This blazer: "It's ok if I don't bend my arms." 🤣🤣🤣 So me. I'll just put it on and walk around- no driving, no drinking, no eating, no talking on the phone... 🥴
Brilliant idea and great tips. Just in time snowy cold day here in Toronto Canada so going to do some culling! Going to do swop shop with my sisters and nieces!!!
Oh, to be a staffer at the Trinny London office! I would live for the closet swaps!!!
Love this! That black and white striped blouse - you wanted 'Victorian' 'Cruella De Vil' but you ended up with 'Beetlejuice' surely!!? Great tips as always Trinny and team 👍😘
Yeah it’s a bit Beetlejuice. 😅
Ha ha that vacation buying clothes bit it’s so so true ! I’ve bought some items in Bangkok and still don’t know WTH I bought ! Wrap around pants 😂
Such a good way of giving clothes a second life; I love it. I too would like to see a follow up if the girls at the office wouldn't mind showing how they style their Trinny item of clothing. I'm halfway my 50s and my body is changing rapidly. I will take your tips to get rid of what doesn't fit and suit me anymore. Thanks for this helpful Closet Confessions!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, and love all over the world, I would love to be your friend, how are you doing?
I love that Molly got those trousers
I’m guilty of virtually everything you mentioned. Felt good to know you’ve made similar mistakes. Xx
Another gem 💎
Trinny is so entertaining, love her😄🥰
I don't think I've ever bought an item of clothing on holiday in my life. Too busy seeing the sights to waste time shopping! I always like to do something different on holiday to what I would do at home.
I always wonder who actually makes a clothes swap work. All of my friends are quite different shapes, sizes and heights. And have quite different styles too.
I love that yellow zara top with the silver edged collar. I loved it when you first got it and still love it now.
Much as Iike shopping I never shop on holiday either.
I like to check out local offerings in stalls etc rather than in big malls - it doesn't take much time if you're already doing something nearby. For example, I have some skirts I picked up near a roadside food stand, & also a dress I spied on the way back from an island whilst waiting for others to board the boat.
All that to say, whilst I probably wouldn't dedicate itinerary time to shopping, I do enjoy people watching whilst on holiday & slowing down to see how locals live their everyday life (not always doing an 'activity' per se). So I find that to be the perfect time to shop - not just for myself but also for souvenirs to bring home to others! (Others may wish to allocate a day to a specific mall or outdoor activity & that's ok too - we all travel in different ways!)
We have an informal group of friends that does a swap a couple of times per year. There are enough of us in a wide range of sizes in our 40s and 50s that it works! And we bring along accessories etc., and there are also items that others have given to me that I've accepted because I'll take it to the next swap. And sometimes we buy total bargains at thrift stores that are too good to pass up because someone will love it at the swap!
That belt is everything 🤩
Always so nice to see your vlogs
Full of inspiration happiness energy
Thank you !!! 💃🏻👌
The clothes swap is probably so much fun!
Twice a year I do a clothes 'swish' where friends give me their old clothes and I sell everything for £1 each and do tea and cakes (donation). It's a great social event, we raise money for charity (£280 for Ukraine last one), sustainable shopping and little organisation as all money just goes in an honesty pot. By the way that brown coat of Trinnys is the best! Also holiday purchases are the worse - I told my partner to stop me if I ever wanted to buy a kaftan or those dropped crutch trousers. I find jewellery is a better bet.
So helpful! I've found that identifying an era that you like the style of can be really helpful too! I really like the 40's for the menswear inspired tailoring and classic colors, and the 50's for the bright color palettes!
I love love love that outfit Trinny has on in this video I’d 100% wear this
I hosted a clothing swap and all my friends loved it so much. We plan on doing it twice a year. Someone's trash is somebody else's treasure. Great video!
Oh wow that sounds amazing! All my friends are like three sizes smaller than me (being over a head taller than everyone is fun) so I'd have to miss out 🥺🥺🥺 such a cool idea!
@@DiggandDugg Not necessarily - it's possible to swap accessories too (like scarves & jewellery!)
You’re an absolute hoot Trinny ❤
Trinny wearing black,.. love it with white top!
Inspiring video, love it as always.
TRINNY I LOVE YOU SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL HONESTLY I USED TO WATCH U RELIGIOUSLY AND THIS WHAT U ARE DOING IS EXACTLY THE ADVICE I NEED TO CLEAR MY MONSTROUS PILE OF CLOTHES THAT I AM MORE MENTALLY ATTACHED TOO THAN PHYSICALLY ATTACHED TOO😜 SO I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH
Oh my I’m going to do it! And I predict there will be nothing left, after decades in hospital scrubs and yoga pants and tees, closet is for a woman with another life… going to be a lot!!!
We used to do a cloths swap back in my old design studio in 2005 ,.. we also were living from paycheck to paycheck in nyc so it was a godsend and was such a fun chatty / girly time,.. the men would run away quickly as we took over the office
"..and I am never going to get shorter arms." 😂😂 wish we could be this vigilant when shopping as well
😂
I used to do clothes, then shoes, then jewelry/accessories while on vacation but agree now an object d'art is much better remembrance
So good! So helpful! I didn’t want it to end. I could have watched you debate every single item in that rail.
Oh gawd yes, I tried on a satin pair of pants and you could see every pit. Like EVERYTHING. I’m buying spans
The sweat comment is so real 😄
Great idea to set up a clothes swap in a work environment! 👍👍 I’m also doing 6 “no buy” months this year to try to curb my spending habits, which will be for clothes, cosmetics, shoes and accessories. I will start in February and have one every other month after that. I loved the idea about secondhand only but we just don’t have second hand stores where I live, they’re not a thing in Spain yet 🙁
Don’t rule out dyeing clothes that don’t suit - so much easier these days with washing machine dyes 😀
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, and love all over the world, I would love to be your friend, how are you doing?
Ohhh huge fan of that black and white stripe blouse from Zara!! 🤩 #keepit 🥳💯
I'd love you to do one where everyone shows something they got in the swap that they're wearing x
Love this new sustainability focus. Such a great goal to shop more second hand as well! Small changes have a huge impact when we all get on board.
I would love to get an update on how you lost weight. I remember you doing a video some time ago about some strategies. But would be great to get an update and hear what ultimately worked.
I definitely need to cull some of my wardrobe. I have things I love, but I’ve lost weight and sadly they no longer fit me.
I love your channel, you have great taste and very unique style.
I had the same situation with a silk blouse that was cream not a good color for me, I dyed it navy blue and it turned out fabulous. I used Rite Liquid dyed.
Ooh! I want that navy blazer! ♥️
Thank you for the I bought this and will never wear it! I have a couple things hanging in the closet that mock me and I just need to move on.
This is literally me at the moment 😂😂😂😂. My style had changed my color pallet too, Lots of clothes to remove from my closet because I couldn’t bring myself to let go. ❤
That Beetlejuice shirt is so Moira Rose!! Send it to Catherine O’Hara.
Love the Dress You’re wearing 🥰can you tell Me where it’s from?
Awesome Trinny. Im in the middle of a cull. Perfect timing. And yes you look absolutely FAB in Leopard. ❤
Trinny, you nake me laugh out loud. I adore you, your witty teachings and depth of knowledge. You make everything fun.
This video was really helpful. I only counted nine reasons but no big deal. I have been guilty of buying the right style in a bad color or the right color in a bad style. Thank you.
This is brilliant, I really needed this video. I actually culled my shoes last night because I was literally annoyed with myself for how many I owned that don't fit me. I tackled my wardrobe a few months ago but I know I could let go of more. I'm going to take all your tips on board. It's all about just being honest with ourselves but isn't it?
That cobalt blouse looks like a petite! Can we see the swaps on the new owners!
Thankyou for all the tips Trinny. I just watched your 6 year old decluttering video prior to this one- and I wonder how many of those pieces you still have now- especially since they all looked fabulous on you. You make me ❤ fashion and want to buy more- even though my life would be easier if I owned and had to look after less. Just another of life’s dilemmas 😊. And I have both the smaller size I keep cos I love, and the larger size which I know looks fab on me if I ever get fat again only cos it is time consuming, less fun shopping, and harder to find pieces which flatter our body shape when we carry excess weight 😂.
That Zara faux leather dress is classic in my opinion, and ageless as I think Trinny has said. I really wish I had got one. Lesson, go straight to checkout online and stop dithering.
Amazing! How lucky are the staff!!!
As you went through the choices and the rules, it also reminded me of culling men. :-) Working on my closet rail this weekend.
OMG...you hit all the excuses on the nose. I did do the length. I absolutely can not wear anything but a midi dress. So I got rid of all dresses that were at the knee and shorter. I only kept the a-line that I use around the house to clean.
This last summer I decided to try wearing more long dresses, I bought several second hand and at the end of summer I donated the shorter dresses I had in my closet. My preference has changed, my style has evolved, I am not hanging on to clothing I don't like any more.
Actually - about that comment that you're never going to get shorter.... I'm here to tell you that in about 10 to 15 years, you're probably going to shrink a bit. It could be as much as a few inches. It just happens with age. (And I'm speaking as someone who didn't have any extra height to spare in the first place: 5'0" down to 4'10." )
Once again I needed to see. 🙏🏻🇬🇧 thank you Trinny xx
Delighted Molly got in first for the trousers! The clothes swap is a great idea. Unfortunately, I work for myself.
Awesome,great tips..love the clothes swap idea!❤
Ooo a clothing team swap😊
I wonder how elbowy it gets once the rail is there and the camera is off🤔🙂
I wish I was there to raid the rails. Great video❤
Loving the silk dress xx
Loved this! ❤
Seeing this makes me want to work in the TL office for multiple reasons, but also to have access to the clothes swap! 😂❤
Glad to see a video on this topic, my wardrobe is big. But, not as big as Trinny’s, she does have 16 closets!
Great video.😁
Congratulations Trinny, great idea
Love these tips! I watched it twice already so helpful! ❤
Redoutable permutations possibly giving British couture a much needed boost. lol
I've saved loads of money and space by sticking to my rules like you suggest! Would,d love that River island top Trinny, been looking on ebay for it 👌 xx
Very helpful video Trinny. I like how you talk about differences in height etc. and would the piece of clothing work.
Just a question .. it’s this telegram a troll/scam .. ? Beware
Yes. Report it.
Perfect timing I’m culling today
Your friends are so lucky! I don't have any stylish friends to give me clothes 😕 they all live in jeans and sweatshirts. I want the brown coat and the ecru layering blouse. 😍
this is really great! i also love the idea of a fashion swap!
Lovely!! And terrifying... I immediately started sweating when I thought of m a n y pieces of clothing that I hang on to even though I know they are not for me anymore. I will now give myself permission to try to give them away 😅😉😅
Trinny would you consider using the jeans you live by overlapping the zipper area and adding buttons inside and outside ? It looks great and it is the best way to wear them!
Loving the peach, white collar, for little people like me 😂. Would love to take it off of your hand. If not, please share its brand as I’ll hunt it down. Tysm for a great show!! ❤
Love your dress you are wearing here. Where is it from? ❤️
The comment above with my image is someone impersonating me - please ignore
Love your tips Trinny, and your sustainability drive - big fan of a clothes swap. However, with my 5'11" frame, I struggle to find items that fit me, especially when trying to stay away from fast fashion and new clothes. Might Valerie have some advice to share in that direction, maybe in a size-inclusive special? Thanks!
So true. Vintage shops are a wasteland for me for that reason.
Very interesting but can’t believe a fashion expect like Tinny bought so much that wasn’t her style, Couldn’t take my eyes of her boots as kept thinking Herman Monster would walk on set any moment and ask for them back
Please , please do a what to wear when you've changed shape in the menopause video. I'm clinging on too stuff that doesn't fit anymore but don't know what to pick now ,I don't want to look ancient but can't wear my old clothes style now . Help
Great Event …. I did it with my friends twice and would like to continue doing it coz the dressing room is full and I never have clothes to wear 😂
Wonderful as always ....will you please make the screen pic bigger ,it's not wide enough x
Hermosos diseños❤
I Really love the dress and the blouse you are wearing. Could you please tell which brand ist is?
