When planning your wardrobe you should consider the climate that you live in. Cotton might be more practical in a warm climate, where wool would be more functional in a cold climate. Also you should consider if you want to invest in special care items such as silk, linen or ramie. If you love these fabrics and don't mind the extra care, then go for it!
If you travel a lot, you need to give extra consideration to how well the fabric travels. Fabrics that travel well are polyester, nylon and spandex blends.
Another consideration is whether the items fit properly. Classic lines that do not go out of style are a good choice, but consider your body type. Make sure that outdated items are recycled (donate, donate, donate). Worn items that no longer have a life, trash would be best. If your into recycling, old sweaters make great hats and scarves. (Takes a little sewing knowledge. Check out MissDeeClutter, Recycle articles.)
Take a couple of crates or bins, organize by season to wear. Also a couple for donate, recycle, so on. Keep in your closet if you have room, on the floor. This is a convenient way to keep your closet from getting cluttered by unused items. When full donate, store, trash as determined. Label appropriately for easy access.

live a minimalist lifestyle
I love the idea! I have discovered something new about myself. Having neat organized spaces in my home, vehicle and office makes me happy. I have adopted the minimalist philosophy recently and have found that it is truely a work of art. You are constantly learning and fine tuning your craft. Decluttering my life really gives me peace of mind. I am learning to keep only the things that enhance my life. To much STUFF can be emotionally distracting and draining. I have more energy and am more focused. My advice is to keep it simple. Small projects do not require a huge effort. Being a natural multi tasker and a person of eclectic varied tastes and interests has made it a challenge. I like a good challenge. Here's to freedom.
