You know those articles of clothing in the way back of your closet? The ones you haven't touched since high school? Don't get us wrong, we totally get it (and admittedly have some ridiculously outdated pieces, too). We're not judging.

It is partially a matter of preparation, since it's great to be ready if that hasn't-been-worn-in-decades shirt comes back in style.

But some of those retro choices? Let's just say they belong in the way back of our closets.
