I am absolutely sure that some or the other part of your closet is a mess or in some cases (like mine) the entire thing is in shambles so here is a great way step by step to clear out your wardrobe.
Sort Into Piles
Start by going through your closet and sorting your clothing into piles. Pull everything out of the closet, working in sections. Begin with the hanging clothes, and once you’ve done those, move on to the pieces kept in a dresser. Items that you love and wear often go into the “keep” pile. Items you love but haven’t worn in a while and you don’t know how they will fit go into the “try on” pile. Items you haven’t worn in forever go into the “purge” pile.
Minimize Duplicates
Everyone has pieces they gravitate toward, and when you’re sorting clothes, pay attention to items that are repeat offenders. Get rid of duplicates you don’t wear. In other words, keep the five black tops you love and wear often, but get rid of the other four that don’t spark joy and you have not worn.
Stack Foldables
Many clothing pieces can be folded and kept stacked neatly on shelves in the closet. For example, jeans, sweaters, fur, undergarments, and scarves are all items that you should fold. Also, cedar is not a myth. It really does prevent moths from getting into your cashmere or wool sweaters. Replace the cedar every six months.
Color-Code It
Once you’ve got everything sorted into separate categories, organize clothes by color. Remember that grade-school acronym, Roy G. Biv? Now is the time to use it! Organize by color: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Keep white and black on opposite ends. Organize the items in a manner that works for you.
Practice the Hanger Test
Not sure how often you wear certain pieces? Perform the hanger test. Turn all the clothes hanging in your closet so that the hangers face the incorrect way; back-to-front. After you pull something out and wear it, place the hanger in correctly when you put it back in the closet. After six months, you’ll know which clothes you have not worn. Get rid of these items!
Let Items Go
Don’t hold onto something just to hold on to it. Declutter your closet, and you’ll declutter your life! It may not be easy, but tossing out old items and donating clothes will create a lot of free space in your closet. Out with the old and in with the new, right?
