Let’s take you through some tips and tricks on how you can effectively organize your wardrobe.
Declutter Your Clothes
- Sorting your garments by type is a quick and easy approach to decluttering them. Sort your items into several categories, such as pants, dresses, tops, outerwear, accessories, underwear, etc. Then, before moving on to the next category, sort through each item in that category.
- What makes this strategy superior is that comparing similar clothes is much easier when they’re all grouped together in front of you, making it easier to get rid of the stuff you know you have too much of or don’t want at all. Decide to only keep the clothing you know you love and frequently wear as you sift through your belongings.
Empty and Clean Your Closet
- Give your closet a good once-over and pluck out anything else still lurking inside it once you’ve formed distinct ‘donate’ and ‘keep’ piles for your clothes, shoes, and accessories.
- Vacuuming the carpet, wiping down the shelves, and scrubbing the scuff marks and dirt off the walls, should be done frequently.
- Sort your clothes into categories: Keep similar objects together. Keep all of your belts together, hang your sundresses next to each other, and keep your exercise clothing and pajamas separate.
Anything Delicate, Fancy, or Well-Made Can Be Hung
You might have enough space to hang every single T-shirt you own, but if you don’t, keep to the obvious items. Dresses, skirts and undergarments are examples fancy and delicate things. Suits and solid, structured pieces like jackets and blazers essentially need to go on a hanger.
Keep Your Most Often Worn Garments at Eye Level
Keep everything you wear on a daily basis in the middle of your closet at eye level so it’s easy to find whenever needed. Place less-used goods directly above or below your most-worn items, and keep your most-worn items on the top shelf.
Segregate Your Clothes According to Color Codes
Sorting your clothes by color can be time-consuming, but the result will make choosing an outfit a lot easier.
Design Your Ideal Closet Space: Take Note of The Best Elements of Your Closet
