Are they nice clothes that are styles you would currently wear, both in terms of your life and in terms of the fashions right now?
I kept a bunch of dresses because I wanted to have backup in case I had to go get an office job. I finally looked at them with fresh eyes and decided that they looked way too young and had dated in ways I hadn't noticed when the nerves were taking over.
If they're not only nice but timeless, I'd keep 'em. After all, you're moving! You'll have storage space, right? And if M. gripes about carrying things, I'll carry the suitcase of size 10 clothes if they are genuinely nice and it makes you feel better to have them.
That's the other thing: if you look at them and self-flagellate for being at a different point in your life, it's probably better to let someone else have them, for whom they would be a positive thing. If they look pretty and like a happy goal, then they're your positive thing and the guys will each carry a box, I bet, while I get the suitcase. (Clothing boxes are light.)
