Your friends/relatives did a nice thing by giving you clothes that they thought you might use. But now those clothes are YOURS and you can do whatever you want with them. If you're not actually wearing them, consider donating them so that someone else might get some use out of them! (PS if someone offers you something you know you will never wear, you're allowed to say "I appreciate the thought, but I just don't have room for that right now." You're not a bad person if you do that.)
Maybe start by doing Project 333[1] - it's a good baby step before doing a major declutter, because you're not actually getting **rid** of anything. You're just getting it out of your immediate vicinity and making room for the stuff you KNOW you genuinely love. You might also try the backward hanger trick[2] to give yourself an idea of what you actually wear and use on a regular basis.

My two biggest criteria for whether I buy something I'm trying on is the fit (if it doesn't fit me perfectly and/or can't be easily tailored, it's an absolute no) and the care/quality (what it's made of, how much of a pain is it to deal with, how long is it going to last). But I also don't just shop for entertainment - if I'm trying on/buying clothes, it's because I need something specific.
There's nothing here!
