Review by function
Gather one category at a time, such as belts or scarves, and compare pieces that serve similar purposes. Check condition, fit, comfort, and whether you actually choose them. Keep specialized or meaningful items deliberately rather than forcing every piece to meet an everyday-use rule. Separate repairs from donations and avoid passing on damaged items without describing their condition honestly.
Build the remaining storage
Give everyday pieces the most accessible positions and protect occasional or sentimental accessories appropriately. Use shallow compartments and clear categories so you can see what remains. Before buying an organizer, test the arrangement with existing containers and measure the actual collection. If two similar items are both useful, there is no need to remove one solely to meet a number. If a category keeps expanding, decide on a practical capacity and review it when new items arrive. The goal is a collection you can choose from comfortably, not an arbitrary smallest possible count.
