10 Tricks to make the wardrobe change

It's about time you put your closet in order

Face it, right now your closet / dressing room is insane. You have 90% of summer clothes and 10% of "just in case" (mid-season clothes and a knit sweater that has crept in there). But with the current 'declutering', which emerged in the United States, we have really wanted to put our lives in order and start September renewed and ready for everything. Declutering means something like "get rid of everything you don't use and order what you do" and that's just what we're going to do.

Organizers and drawers

Often times, disorganization and clutter are due to a lack of storage space. Therefore, the first thing you are going to do is go to the closest Ikea to a few of these items. We recommend that, if you don't have it, buy a shelf with wide shelves and several cardboard boxes . They are usually very cheap and the most useful to have your worship space arranged by categories .

The hardest moment

Now is when you have to get everything out of there and think carefully: do you really need everything? Make three piles: one with everything you are going to keep, one with everything you won't, and one with the category of indecisions , which we will return to later. The clothes that you are going to keep you have to fold as if you were an experienced shop assistant and those that are not, you are going to put them in bags to sell / donate / give them away. Here you have step by step how to fold clothes with the Marie Kondo method .

Wash before storing

It is important that you store all your freshly laundered summer clothes. If it is somewhat dirty or has stains, it could be in poor condition when you take it out again. So it will be ready to use when you retrieve it. If you want your clothes to last longer, stop making these mistakes. We tell you how to do it right and make it look in perfect condition.

The moment to put it all

Now is the funniest part, it is when you start decorating your closet from scratch and to your liking. We recommend that , unless the garment is very heavy and tends to give of itself, you have the maximum of them hanging on hangers . Knitted sweaters, for example, we would never hang on hangers; the rest yes. This will not only give you more space, but it will also make you see everything better and that choosing daily clothes is not a task of hours .

Ideas to organize your closet: by colors

A very good idea that great experts use is to classify clothes by colors . What this does is make your life easier when looking for combinations and also provide a most beautiful aesthetic touch.

Ideas to organize your closet: by categories

The most recurrent technique. It is as simple as reserving one space only for skirts, another only for jeans, another only for blouses and so on. It is true that it is also useful and if it is ordered it can be just as aesthetic as the color technique.

The power of drawers

See how good they look and how useful they are when ordered. Hence, we recommend you to have drawers, shelves or several levels . Organize your clothes (both by category and by color is much easier).

Accessories and cosmetics organizers

Not only the clothes are important, the organizers that we asked you to buy a few seconds ago are for this: accessories and cosmetics. By the way, check out these makeup organizers (which you didn't know you needed).

Racks for bags

Instead of having them hanging on racks, a very 'chic' option is to get a shelf and use it as a display. After all, what is a bag if not a true jewel? Well, treat them as such that, in addition, their chains will thank you (especially if they are heavy).

Shoe rack

The same thing happens with bags, but applied to shoes. When the time comes, take your summer shoes and put them in boxes with enough space so that they do not spoil or collect dust. The rest, expose them as a true Hollywood c elebrity .

Alternative ideas to organize your closet

It's the biggest trending scene right now (with permission from Instagram) and we've been inspired to bring you ideas. A very nice, but less useful way to organize your shelves is like this: mixing different categories .

We know that the process of changing cabinets is not pleasant for everyone.

Tricks to organize your closet

Once you have extracted all your clothes (your life) from the closet, you have to divide them into three piles:

What you are going to stay 100%
What you are going to give / donate / sell 100%
The "just in case", which are what we are going to help you manage.

What to do with the "just in case" clothes that you don't know whether to save or throw away? Very easy. Ask yourself the following questions:

Have you worn it in the last six months? If it's yes, save it. If it's a no, try it on. Is it good for you and do you like it? You keep it. It does not fit: see you later. What if it has a sentimental meaning for you? Then that decision can only be made by you.
Is it stained or torn? If it's a yes, clearly trash it. If not, clear your doubt with the rest of the alternatives.
Do you have a garment that you love but have never known how to wear? Think of three ways you could combine it. If you can't think of more than two, we're sorry to tell you that you don't like it as much as you think.
Is there something that is big / small for you? If you can get it fixed, all yours. If not, you already know the answer.
