I usually buy about one wardrobe box per walk-in closet and one for every two regular sized closets (unless there's tons of clothes). These are the boxes I won't give away after the move because I know I'll need them again.
Besides the fact that you just move your clothes from hanging in your closet to hanging in the box, you use the bottom of the box, too.
The empty space in the box is great for large wall hangings, lamp shades, extra clothes hangers, yard stakes or yard lights, mirrors (but wrapped well) and pillows. Basically anything large but light-ish.
I've seen professional movers throw shoes in the bottom of the box, as well but I wouldn't want to use the space for something that could easily fit in a smaller box.
After you've moved, you can store extra clothes in the box (keep it in the attic or the basement). It's also big enough to store Holiday things like Christmas trees.
