Remember when you left for college? You gathered everything you owned (and maybe some things your dad owned), made two piles, and packed what would make you look good to girls, cool to bros, and employable to recruiters. As you go through life, moving onward and upward, there will always be things you take with you, and things you leave behind.

When you graduate to the real world, we encourage you to do the same. As fresh as those retro Jordan IIIs are, they’re unfortunately not going to “fly” at the next work happy hour. You don’t have to graduate to clean house, if you’re moving or just bought a few new suits, comb through the closet and make space. As you make all that space for the perfect closet, donate your old garments to Goodwill, so someone else can impress their friends with that “fresh” Seattle Super Sonics Snapback.
