Your closet is a living document of your life. It’s constantly evolving and how it appears one week will likely change by the next, never more so than when the seasons change. The clothes that work during the warmer months have no place field of view when the temperatures drop. But making those changes can seem daunting. Never fear. Here are a few tips on how to transition your closet from summer to fall:
- Break It Up – Altering your closet in one step can seem overwhelming. Tackle the project over several days to make the shift more bearable. Start by assessing your wardrobe and considering what should stay and what absolutely needs to go. Don’t make any rash changes, and let your thoughts marinate.
- Prepare Storage – Don’t start pulling from the hangers without a plan. You must avoid having stacks of clothes strewn about your floor and bed. Decide what storage methods and labeling system you’re going to use to sock away your summer duds and have them organized before you begin the purge.
- Stay Orderly – A shirt from one side and a pair of shoes from another without a strategy is a recipe for disaster. Begin with one type of clothing and whittle that area down first, and then move on to the next. Devise your system and stick to it!
- Assess Space – After the warm weather clothes are stored away, consider the space you have for the new season’s wardrobe. Before you move your fall and winter clothes the prime area of your closet, stop. You’ll want to review what you own, what you still want to wear, and how it will fit into your closet space. If you’re not comfortable with an item of clothing anymore, get rid of it.
