Getting up extra early on a cold Monday morning because you don't remember where your dress shirts are gets annoying, but is easily remedied. Organizing your wardrobe and planning your outfit the night before will allow you to stay in bed for a while longer. To help you, we have prepared a list of easy ways to organize your wardrobe this winter.
Jackets and Coats Outside
Jackets and coats have this pesky habit of hiding a ton of other stuff like shirts and mufflers. To organize your wardrobe, we recommend that you get your bulkiest things, in this case your winter outerwear, hang them outside the cupboard on hooks and wall hangers. You'll notice that your wardrobe gets a lot roomier and that shirt you never seemed to find is suddenly right there.
Get Your Socks Together
One of the most common things is never finding matching pairs of socks! Where did they all go? If you are like most people, you will have a big pile of socks in some drawer and this will keep happening. Start putting pairs in empty shoe boxes. Curling up the pairs and fitting them inside makes it easier to find your favorite patterns and it also makes losing them harder.
Keep Summer Out
Out of season clothes are just going to take up more room unnecessarily. When are you ever going to wear that tank top in rainy season? Take all of those summer lovin’, breezy shirts out, pack them up and put them away. It's going to open more space in your wardrobe and you can finally think of those new additions that you've been wanting to buy. Keep the plain tees in there though, you never know when you want to go all basic under a slick leather jacket.
Pile Sweaters in Different Colors
You're more likely to wear something if it catches your eye. Keeping the same types of colors together is going to confuse you and you'll miss the darker shade of blue that you wanted to wear to work. Mix those colors up so you can differentiate and find your favorite sweaters in a record time. Don't hesitate to make multiple piles stacked side by side.
Use Up That Back Space
Shelves and cupboards usually have lots of back space that your messy pile of clothes is blocking. Clear them all up and start organizing your clothes right from the back. This is going to give you extra space and it'll be easier taking those sweaters out of neat stacks than haphazard disasters.
Formal to Informal
Organize your clothes outfit wise. Formal shirts in one corner, sweatshirts in the other. What are those graphic hoodies doing in the cardigan stack? Remember your winter "outfit of the day" is made all the better if you do everything right. A forced sweatshirt under a classy overcoat because you couldn't find the matching dress shirt can just put off the whole look. Don't let that happen.
