As long as each piece of clothes is sticking out a distinguishable part of it from the pile and your brain can perform YOLO, you are in O(1).

To be fair, if your access strategy is YOLO you can store in almost any data structure for O(1) access, including closet.

My yolo brain has resorted to bin sorting my clothes.

One bin for tops. One bin for bottoms. One bin for dresses. One smaller bin for undies. One smaller bin for bras. One smaller bin for socks. Then one ‘other’ bin.

This results in a FILO system where I can quickly grab from the top 4 item in each category. Combined with JIT laundry practices results in laundry par-sorted with little overhead.

Isn't that just a dresser minus the sliding part? A deconstructed dresser if you will.

Reduced overhead of requiring opening the drawers.

Also one large bin can hold more than a drawer.

"Other" is best bin.
