Figure if I don't have them, I'm bound to need the smaller size in the near future and be forced to purchase again. Foolproof weight loss plan

I’ve got probably ten pairs of dress pants and twenty professional shirts hanging virtually untouched in the two years I’ve been retired. Couple days ago, wife asked if she could get rid of them.
Why? They are perfectly good.
Could have been imagining, but thought I heard a Marge Simpsonlike grrrr.
My rule of thumb on non-dress, long-sleeve winter shirts that if I don't wear one for two years, it goes. Short-sleave, warm-weather shirts, get one year since I wear them more frequency.
Have three pairs of jeans, several pairs of khakis and chinos (like 4-5 pair total). They never go out of style so they only
go when they don't fit, are stained or worn.
I threw out all my suits, sport coats, dress pants and most ties when I retired and bought one single suit since then. Virtually never wear it, which keeps it pristine, compared to the old, discarded others (and several dress pants).
Can alwys buy nice, new, stuff here and there!
