How Often Should You Purge Your Closet? How Should You Organize It?
There comes a time when we need to go through our closet and get rid of pieces that we just seem to not wear anymore. It's either outdated, torn, or we just find ourselves not reaching for. We recommend going through and purging your closet at least twice a year.
“But what if I want to wear it in a couple months?”
Some of our clothes are seasonal and can be set aside for a later purge. However, if a piece has not been worn in the last 3 months during a season where you are able to wear it, there's a good chance you won't be looking to wear it anytime soon. Of course, there are exceptions for clothes that are worn for special occasions.
Organization
There are many ways to organize your clothes to make it easier for you to choose what to wear.
One way we recommend is separating your tops (subcategorized into regular tops, bodysuits, dress shirts, & sweaters), bottoms (subcategorized into shorts, skirts, & pants), dresses, and outerwear (ie. jackets and coats). From there, you can organize it based on length or colour.
Another way would be to colour coordinate your entire closet! This option is very aesthetically pleasing but may make things hard to find for some people.
End of the day, organize however you feel would make life easier for you. These are only our suggestions but everyone is different!
