Declutter!
-
Declutter by type - such as tops, shirts, pants, dresses. This is less overwhelming than pulling everything out of your wardrobe at once.
-
When deciding whether to keep something, ask yourself if it matches at least three other things you currently own.
-
Experts say the ideal wardrobe has three times as many tops as bottoms.
-
Try placing half of your clothing in a different room (or in storage boxes) for two weeks. You will be surprised how much easier it is to function and get ready with fewer clothes in your closet - and you may find that you don't miss them at all.
-
Most of us wear 20% of our clothing 80% of the time and would be much happier with fewer wardrobe choices - but you won't know unless you try it!
Make more space
-
Adding an extra rod to your wardrobe can double the amount of space for shorter items such as shirts and blouses. This is a great space-saving idea if you don't have many longer items such as long coats and dresses.
-
Hang anything delicate, fancy, or sturdy (such as coats).
-
Stack thick items such as jeans and jumpers as they won't wrinkle or lose their shape.
-
Roll t-shirts and workout clothes into drawers - simply fold them into a third and roll them into neat little tubes, so you can see everything at a glance.
-
You can store smaller handbags in larger ones.
-
Consider storing out of season clothing in a suitcase or storage boxes.
Get organised!
-
Having an organised wardrobe will make your morning routine easier, less stressful and less time consuming.
-
Group matching colours together to make morning outfit choices easier.
-
Group whole outfits together in your wardrobe, so you just have to grab a couple of hangers and you're good to go.
-
Find that 'capsule' wardrobe inside your existing wardrobe. Capsule wardrobes are designed to take a few items of clothing and create multiple looks. Put basics such as pants, cardigans, simple shirts, and a trusty pair of blue jeans in an easily accessible place. How to look after your clothes so they last longer
-
Another option is to choose a few colours you love and add neutral pieces in white, black, navy, or grey.
-
Store your shoes in clear shoe boxes - they are stackable to save space, and you can see what you've got.
-
Once your wardrobe is organised, you can keep it that way by putting clothes away promptly (and in the right place) after washing and ironing!
