As the days get shorter and the nights longer, it’s hard not to think of the chilly times ahead. And while those t-shirts and skirts might still be getting some wear, it won’t be long until you need to take your sweaters and jackets out of storage again. The good news is your closet system doesn’t have to fall apart just because of the change of seasons. Here are some of Closet World’s top tips for organizing your winter wardrobe for success. Utilize ShelvesThink that your bureau is the only place to stow those winter sweaters? On the contrary, savvy home organizers fold their sweaters and keep them on shelves. Not only does this free up space in your dresser or on the clothing rack, but it also lets you display all your beautifully-hued pullovers and cardigans to their best advantage. As a bonus, keeping sweaters off hangers helps prevent stretching and tearing. Showcase Winter AccessoriesDepending on what part of the country you reside in, you might need quite a few accessories to survive the colder months. We’re referring to everything from gloves and mittens to scarves, hats, and even earmuffs. If you want to keep your closet organized, clear boxes or bags are the way to go. Label your bins appropriately and strive to put accessories away as soon as you remove them. That way, you’ll never find yourself searching for your hat while late for work. Keep Coats ElsewhereUnless you have a Carrie Bradshaw-worthy closet space, it’s likely impossible to store your winter coats in the master closet. After all, these items tend to be long and bulky. Not only do they take up a great deal of space on the rack, but they can also crush more delicate pieces like silk blouses. For best results, stow heavy overcoats and ski jackets in the hall closet, mudroom, or another part of the home. Donate Unneeded ItemsWhen you take your winter clothes out of storage, it’s a good idea to sort through the contents before installing them in your closet. After all, winter clothes take up more space than summer pieces, and it’s easy for a closet that seemed spacious in the summer months to feel overstuffed when the temperature drops. Get rid of any pieces that are ripped, damaged, or simply out of style. You can also donate gently used items to a local charity and sell designer pieces through an online consignment shop.
