It’s Time To Purge Your Closet! Here Are 6 Items You Should Get Rid Of If You’re Over 25
If you’ve been looking with disdain at your current wardrobe, it's probably time to purge your closet. Avoiding short-term trends is something we encourage here at Evie, but there are also quite a few pieces that cheapen your style in your mid-to-late 20s.
While we want our skin, hair, and other features to keep their youthful glow, we don’t want our current wardrobe to reflect our high school or college years. There’s a major difference between having great style and copying the younger generation on every trend – especially when it comes to silhouettes!
If you're struggling to find that middle ground between fashionable and age-appropriate, you’re not alone. Style influencer @beingjulia has a great TikTok series on pieces you should include in your wardrobe in your mid-to-late 20s, without compromising on style or comfort. Even if workwear makes up the majority of your wardrobe, there are plenty of ways to have great style without looking like you’re heading to the club after work.
Here are six items you should get rid of if you are over 25, plus our recommendations for updated alternatives. Let’s get into it!

1. Ripped Jeans
Ripped jeans may have been cute and stylish in college, but they have no place in your updated wardrobe. Along the same lines, avoid oversized or baggy jeans, which don’t flatter your shape or add anything to your overall look.
Instead, swap your ripped jeans for a classic pair of straight jeans. These are just as easy to style, and your outfit will look elevated and age appropriate. Investing in a few pairs of higher-quality denim in a dark and a light wash will instantly upgrade your entire wardrobe and last for years to come.
