Regarding my clothes, First my dresser has 4 drawers and 3 are empty. closest is 75% empty. I do have a jacket but spend my winter's in Arizona (Magic Circle) sometimes I do just walk the dog with shorts. Alas I have to be cognizant of myself as I just walked outside in my birthday suit totally oblivious cause I spent so much time it has just become normal to me. Oh and I am barefoot 90% of the time (except AZ)....might as well go all the way if your changing your life style

Were your closets and drawers essentially full before you retired?
What types of clothing did you keep and what did you get rid of?
How did you dispose of unwanted clothing?

I've been a jobless person only since Christmas and like the rest of you, I have very little need for all the clothes I have stuffed into closets here and there. My intention is to wear clothing only when environmentally necessary. Really enjoying the retired life so far.

Are you considering getting rid of some or most of the clothing you have stuffed into closets and are not using?

Yes I now have time to enjoy nudity much more. I Especially like being outside on my deck. Even tan looks better too. If I have to go some place I usually go commando, underwear now seems so confining!

Have you gotten rid of any clothing especially underwear?

For instance I wear it when I mow the yard because I get sweaty and need the absorption. I also wear it when I ride my bike, it keeps me from getting rather raw down there.

I stopped wearing underwear for yard work before I freeballed other places. Much more comfortable than having two layers. I wear padded bike shorts so there is no need underwear ehen I bike.

I need two layers in the Kansas summers. I've mowed the yard when it's 114 degrees! LOL I will look for the padded bike shorts. Sounds practical.

At 114 degrees, I would be mowing in the lightest weight shorts I own, no underwear or shirt!

I hate the feeling of sweat running down my legs and arm pits. Plus a bandana! Sweat stings my eyes!

Then you wear a shirt, too?
Although neither feeling is good, I would rather have sweat dripping down my legs than have any more sweat drenched articles of clothing.

Back to the question that stated this, have you reduced your clothing supply since you retired?

(Back to the question that stated this, have you reduced your clothing supply since you retired?)Yes of course! I don't need my work clothes anymore. Our dress code was slacks, collared shirts and dress shoes. I haven't worn any of that attire since retiring. In fact I gave most of it to good will. Now all I wear is T-shirts with shorts or jeans and athletic shoes.

I have less than half as much clothing as I did when I retired.
I am involved in several community activities that require at least business casual dress at times so I do have some collared shirts and slacks.
Right now I have no jeans because both of the pairs I wore last winter were starting to wear around the bottom so I made them into cutoffs since I never wear jeans in the summer, only shorts when I don't have to dress up.
I am down to what seems to be the optimal number of slacks and shorts, but have too many shirts.
Part of this is because all of my tanks and t's and some of my collared polos have a logo that has significance to me so I don't want to get rid of it.

I retired 4 months ago and my nude time is getting longer and longer been nude for 3 days so far . I have had no laundry this week so am using less clothes started to go through my closets and thinning out what's there. Being nude has been very liberating.

I did a substantial reduction when I retired and another one about 2 years later and now have well less than half as much as I did when I was working. Other retirees on this and other sites have reduced their wardrobe much further!

Two of my suggestions for thinning out your clothing supply.
Be nude when you do it. Helps you realize that clothing isn't all that necessary.
Take everything out of your closets and drawers first. Then it is actually more effort to hang or fold something and put it back than to through it out or put it in a donation box.
One I do partly.
Immediately destroy anything you don't want for a feeling of freedom and finality. While I do this with worn out clothing and it does feel great, I prefer to donate anything in reasonably good shape to a charity that will find a use for them.
One I haven't tried for use if you know you have too much clothing but can't figure out what to get rid of.
Put a divider in your closet and drawers and move everything to one side of the divider.
When you wear something, move it to the other side.
After a year, get rid of everything on the first side since if you haven't worn it for a year, you don't really need or want it.
