We tell you how to order what you want to save for the next season and more importantly, what clothes to get rid of
We all suffer, to a greater or lesser extent, from Diogenes syndrome, let’s confess. Yes, that threadbare shirt that has already lost its color but that you like so much because it reminds you of your younger years. Those other pants that don’t fit you anymore but they’re like new… We always have a good excuse not to throw away and when it comes to the wardrobe, even more so.
Today we are going to help you in changing seasonal clothes and making room in your closet so that, without changing the furniture, it seems bigger to you:
The first advice: what is not used is recycled, given away or thrown away (or used for rags, a useful way to reuse those old clothes). Nothing to accumulate just because. So get rid of those old t-shirts and those others that were given to you at this or that fair: if you don’t even use them to sleep, come on, retire them.
With that said, let’s go with the order. If your wardrobe needs a change of season because of size you can’t have it all out, let’s go with it. Sweaters that were too small, with balls and pajamas that no longer have color or fabric, out. Take out everything you have to keep (that you will have kept clean, important detail).
To store it for the next season, use vacuum bags: they are wonderful, they fit a lot of clothes and take up little space.
For t-shirts, put them vertically in a drawer, they take up much less space. If you put them on shelves, do not put more than four because that way it will not be difficult for you to remove the bottom one, which is always the one we want to put on, and you will not mess up the ones on top.
On the highest shelves, place cloth boxes to store what you are not going to put immediately: if they have a front window that allows you to see what is inside, all the better.
The clothes you are going to wear, hung by category. Without touching on the toc of placing the spices in alphabetical order, we do advise you to maintain a certain order in the cupboard. And so, shirts with shirts, skirts with skirts, pants with pants. Easy. There are also hangers that allow you to hang several garments, such as several pants for example: super useful.
And this regarding the change of wardrobe to put winter clothes. If you are one of those who has an organized wardrobe for the whole year, here are some tips.
Always at hand the basics and what you wear the most: better an organization vertically and put an order, for example by season. The warmest on one side, for example. The freshest right to the other. In the drawers, underwear, sportswear and swimsuits/bikinis. If they are assigned or you no longer wear them, out.
Use one side of the closet to place coats and suits. Better that you put them in a cover, the clothes are better protected. Take advantage of the lower space for shoes.
In the upper areas of the wardrobe, the attic, the travel suitcases and also the bags, placed by row, fit more.
The shoes: behind the ones that you are not going to use this season. There are very practical window covers that fit many pairs.
