Consider this a formal announcement: After nearly a decade living in New York City—my entire adult life practically—I’m packing up most of what fit inside my Upper West Side one-bedroom apartment and moving across the country to Los Angeles. It’s kind of a big deal, one that’s forced me to take a good, long look at my wardrobe and decide what inside it is worth bringing across the country. Truthfully, even when I’ve moved in and out of apartments here in New York, I’ve never done a closet clean-out this involved. I’ve always just haphazardly thrown my possessions into boxes and UHauled them from one part of the city to another. This time around, though, I’m leaning all the way in, which means Marie Kondo’ing my closet. If a trend isn’t bringing me joy, well, it’s not joining me on my New York City–to–Los Angeles move. Period.

After much consideration, I’ve narrowed it down to six trends that I’m leaving behind (and six anti-trend alternatives I’ve granted worthy of this next stage in my life). Only the pieces I really love are coming with me, which is still a lot of stuff. I have, after all, spent all of my 20s curating clothing, shoes, handbags, and more with a high degree of intention. I’m not going to just throw away all that work. I am being selective, however, and what still checks off all my boxes will soon be enjoying sunnier weather alongside me in L.A. Keep scrolling to find out what made the cut and what’s getting the boot before the big move.
