For a smooth seasonal change of closets, follow these 6 simple tips
The changing of the seasons is an inevitability that we are all forced to face twice a year. And each year, dealing with this seems to get harder and harder - especially when it comes to changing the outfits in our closets.
The secret to dealing with this chore is to be organized. Given this, try out these simple tips when you are doing your next seasonal outfits change.
1. Find a place for everything
Do you know where you will store the outfits that you are not using at the moment? They might be in a closet in an unused bedroom or in a corridor closet, in the attic or in some boxes under your bed: the important thing is that you are sure you know where your stored clothes are if you should need them.
2. Selecting
Take advantage of the change of season to make a selection of your outfits: remove all your clothes from the closet and get some bags for the items you are going to discard. Inspect every single item of clothing and choose whether to keep it or throw it away/donate to charity/sell.
3. Create visual order

A tidy and clean closet will save you a lot of time and headaches when selecting your daily outfits: divide your clothes by type and store them neatly in your closets and drawers: it will be much easier to manage the closet and also any changes you make to it.
4. The right containers
Whether it is for your out-of-season clothes or for better organization of your existing closet, choose the right storage containers for your needs first: these containers come in all shapes, sizes and colors - select the ones that suit you (and your home) best.
Another useful tip is to label all the containers you use to make future identification of their contents easier.
5. The right company

To help doing this chore, invite a friend to keep you company: a hot drink and chatting away will help you get through this task without you even feeling it. The "persuasive" help from a friend could also be useful to get rid of those items that you cannot wear anymore but which you are struggling to part with.
6. The right time

Carry out your seasonal closet change at the right time, so that you can start and finish in one go: choose a day when you are free, are feeling rested and have no other commitments that could distract you from the task.
By following these tips, your closets will always be tidy and the change of seasons need not be something to be afraid of anymore.
