Tuck away your non-winter clothes

Sounds quite obvious? But trust me, putting away those shorts, linen trousers, sundresses and other summer only items will make a huge difference. Whether you store them separately in bins or simply tuck them in higher shelves, getting them out of sight will help you focus on your winter wardrobe.

Assess your clothes

Change of season is a good time to determine what you are keeping and what must go. If some of your items haven’t not been used since last year or simply don’t work for your anymore, this is a good time to donate them. Especially if you are planning to buy new winter clothes and accessories, getting rid of few older pieces will help you create more space.

Arrange items by category

Every item should have its place

Keep sweaters with sweaters, shirts with shirts, pants with pants and so on. This is a perfect strategy, especially for winter accessories that are easy to lose such as scarves, gloves, and caps. Using clear boxes or bags is also a good option to store various cold weather accessories as you can see exactly what’s inside.

Perfect the folding technique

With more sweaters and shawls comes more folding, so make sure you are doing it properly and not just throwing them away on the shelf. This will ensure less wrinkles and minimize bulk.
