Browse Your Closet in Phases

Here are some tips to help you organize your closet before you embark on your organizing and revamping journey. This is not the same as the movies, where you can do a quick overhaul of your closet with just one person or with a friend.

This process is not for everyone. You might find that simply dumping everything out of your closet onto your bed, and then going through each item one-by-one with nostalgia won’t help. If you do this, you may end up keeping things you don’t wear but feel attached to. It can become overwhelming to try and do it all in one go. You may even give up halfway through.

Instead of dumping your entire Wardrobe on your bed, you might consider segregating your closet by clothing type first. You can start by going through your tops, then move on to your bottoms. You can then go through longer pieces, such as formal wear and dresses. You can keep your accessories such as belts, hats and bags in the bag so they are accessible last.

This doesn’t mean you have to do it all in one day. You can, for example, schedule a day to go through your tops and then schedule another date to do your bottoms. You can break down the sessions into smaller ones if you feel tired. Instead of spending hours organizing your tops every day, take just ten minutes each day. You’ll eventually be done organizing your entire closet.

These steps will help you to determine how many items you have and how they fit into your hierarchy of what you would like to wear. It’s possible to find some classic, but not so old pieces that you can incorporate into your everyday Wardrobe. You may also find items that were once your favorite but were put away and forgotten about.

Make an inventory of your Wardrobe

It’s a smart idea to keep a list of all your fashion accessories and clothing. This will help you keep track of the items you are looking at and prevent you from forgetting something you have already seen. You should list all fashion items that you have. Next, take note of whether or not you are wearing these items often, how often you haven’t worn them in awhile, and whether or not you plan to wear them again in the future.

This will help you to think about your closet and the best way to arrange them. You have to make a serious effort to organize your closet. An additional benefit of having an inventory of your clothes is that you can easily identify what types of outfits you can make based on what you have.

This can be done with a pen and paper or a spreadsheet created on Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. You can also create a database with Airtable or Notion if you need more flexibility.

Create new outfit combinations with existing pieces

It doesn’t take long to find new outfits. You are likely to have a new outfit in your Wardrobe. You may just not have tried that particular outfit with the pieces you already have.

It’s time to get out of your routine and try new looks by mixing and matching your clothes in unconventional ways. You can also try on your old clothes in new ways. This will ensure that your clothes don’t go to waste and your old pieces can be given new life.

Are you finding it tiring or difficult to change your clothes while trying new outfit combinations? Don’t worry. Digital apps can be downloaded that allow you to take photos and create a visual inventory. You can mix and match tops and bottoms, shoes, jewelry, and footwear on virtual mood boards. You’ll also be able to see your outfits from a different perspective than you would with a mirror. You might just discover a new outfit that you have never considered trying!

It’s important to be creative when organizing your Wardrobe. While maximising your clothing storage space is important, we don’t mean just maximizing the amount of space you have. This also means identifying the best clothing combinations that you can think of and matching them in your Wardrobe. You can bring new life to your clothes and make sure nothing is wasted.
