I admit it. I hoard clothes. Sometimes, I just don't use some because I get tired of seeing it everyday. Other times, it's because I know I'll fit into them again someday. Yes, decluttering is certainly something we all need for a better, peaceful, and less stressful life. So here's a roundup of some tips:

Turn around all the hangers in your closet the wrong way- with the hook facing you. When you use them, turn it the normal way. Do this for 3-6 months. Anything that isn't hung the normal way, you should dispose.
Finish your decluttering completely. That means all the things to give away, give them away TODAY, not tomorrow.
Take it one step at a time. Don't try and tackle your whole wardrobe in just one sitting. That will lead to burnout and eventually not finishing what you started. Take a few minutes per day and do it by section. This way you won't get overwhelmed.
Label your bins. Yes, I know doing this extra step seems too much. But taking a few minutes just to label makes your decluttering and organizing that much easier to maintain.
Take a few minutes every day, say 5 minutes to put away your things in the proper place. This way, your clutter won't accumulate.
Place a catchall for your daily use. This is where you can place your keys, watch or jewelry that you use every day.

A final word: Take it easy. Organizing your closet (or any part of your house for that matter) does not need to happen overnight. A few simple steps per day will help keep your things in order.
