A cozy rainy day indoors can sometimes be filled with lulls and sighs but it could also be one productive day to finally go through your closets. Although spring is not present in the country, it is still wise to have a “spring cleaning” session.
So for those who are in the mood for some much-needed closet-cleaning, here are a few tips to make the task doable and still enjoyable.
1. Empty your closet
That’s right, take everything out. Put your clothes on your bed or in containers temporarily so you can have a better view of the space available in your cabinet. At the same time, you’ll see the amount of clothes you have. Do you really need that many yellow skirts?
2. ‘Take, Toss, Store’
Those three powerful words are famous from the film “Sex and the City” which showed a scene where the main character, Carrie Bradshaw had to clean out her closet in preparation for moving to a new apartment. Her friends, Sam, Miranda and Charlotte made it a fun experience as they helped decide which clothes to take with them, which clothes to toss and throw out, and which ones Carrie should store and hang on to.
3. Stick to essentials
It is always good to keep your closets up-to-date which means, if you have unworn clothes for a minimum of a year, you should think about tossing it out or letting your friends take them as it is just some extra item that takes up space in your closet. So make your closet up-to-date by only keeping items that you always wear and those must-have outfits for special occasions. One business attire, two formal attires and three vacation outfits should do the trick.
4. Organize and use matching hangers
After choosing which clothes to keep, you can now place them back inside. If possible, try to have matching hangers. This is a visual treat as your clothes will look neat and organized. And speaking of organizing, a good way to do that is to sort out the clothes by their type, size and color. Pants should be sorted together. The same goes for dresses, shirts and other items. This way, it’s easier for you to locate an item. It would also look pleasing to the eyes if the clothes are sorted by their shade. It could be from darkest to lightest or the opposite. You could also try putting together pastel-colored items against dark-toned items.
5. Keep your closet fresh
Finally, make sure that your closet is fresh. Your closet can harbor bad odor which can put a damper on your day. While choosing your OOTD (Outfit of the Day), you’ll have a more enjoyable time with the help of Albatross Closet Freshener.
