In addition, it helps to approach wardrobe organization with sharp measurements and clear visibility. Sorting by precise millimeter-level order may be overkill, but clearly labeled storage makes items easy to locate and access.
Three tips to make the wardrobe change more organized
People often turn to established routines when the seasons shift. The approach here borrows lessons from Marie Kondo. Three key ideas are highlighted to streamline the transition and reduce clutter this season.
First, pick a focused moment instead of dabbling. Partial changes rarely yield lasting results. To truly welcome the new season, tackle the entire closet at once. This method is widely cited as the quickest and most practical way to refresh your wardrobe. Begin by emptying the closet and using the opportunity to clean every surface thoroughly.
After clearing the space, the next step is selection. Start by identifying the summer pieces worth keeping for the next year and discard anything that no longer serves a purpose, is too worn, or feels outdated. Store the remaining items in clear, stackable boxes or labeled totes to simplify retrieval when warmer days return.
How do you organize your closet using the Marie Kondo method?
With the closet emptied and cleaned, pull out the clothes saved for the season. Examine each piece and decide which items truly deserve a place in the new layout. Following the spirit of the method, keep only garments, footwear, and accessories that spark joy and fit current needs.
This is the Marie Kondo approach: order as a synonym for happiness
To make the decision process sharper, separate items into three piles: keep, donate, and discard. Once the keep pile is established, begin organizing by priority. Hang items that benefit from vertical storage on the closet rod first, then place remaining pieces on shelves and in drawers. If some pieces require washing or ironing before they can be stored, set them aside until ready to be sorted again.
