Clean Your Wardrobe Like A Pro With These Tips

Every time you check your closet, do you always wish it had more space? Well, you’re not alone. Most women have the same thoughts. However, space isn’t really the problem when we talk about an overflowing wardrobe. 

With poor storage solutions, lots of accessories, and different fashion options, it is no wonder your closet looks like it’s about to burst. Don’t worry, we got your back. 

Fashionet listed some basic, yet effective hacks that you can use to reset your whole wardrobe from scratch.

How to clean your wardrobe like a pro

It is hard to get rid of certain clothes because of the feeling that you will wear them soon. Another reason is because those items hold sentimental reasons. We understand, but one way or another, you must let them go to free up space in your closet. 

Here are some tips on how to declutter your wardrobe: 

1. Take everything out

Remove the clothes in your closet – all of them. Then, evaluate their style, fit, wearability, and condition. We suggest holding onto basics, such as tank tops and t-shirts. On the other hand, toss the items that have discolorations, stains, and rips. Any missing pairs of shoes or accessories can also go. 

If you’re struggling to let go of some of your precious items, try to keep a few of them. However, consider storing them in a watertight bag or labeled box in another area of your house so that they won’t take space in your closet anymore. 

2. Have a plan

Recycling is good for the planet. Other than that, it also allows you to help those in need, knowing that your used items are destined for more than just collecting dust in your closet. So, recycle – it will give you more motivation to get rid of memorable pieces. 

Check the outfits that no longer match or fit your style. Those items can be given to charity, just make sure that these clothes are still in good condition. You can also sell some pieces to consignments. Reselling is a great way to keep your overall wardrobe fresh without getting broke. Look for the nearest consignment shops in your area and sell your unused clothes for a profit.  

3. Sort and categorize

Come up with a system. One of the best ways to sort clothes is by categorizing them. For instance, you must keep all the blazers in one place, all the blouses on the hangers, all the pants on one part of the drawer, and more. This way, you will have an accurate view of everything you have inside your closet. 

This will also provide you with a visual inventory of the items you own. In other words, it will be easier for you to see if one section of your closet suddenly gets too big and needs decluttering.  

To take it one step further, you can also organize within each category. For example, keep the long sleeves in one spot, the short sleeves on the other side, and separate mini dresses from maxis. If you want a visually appealing system, you can also group each clothing type by color.  

Aesthetics are always important. But you must consider the function of your closet first. Choose a sorting method or system that works best for you. 

4. Be strategic with storage

To keep your wardrobe clean and organized, finding a storage solution that is customized to your needs is crucial. Do you need more space for your dresses than your shirts? Or do you need more shoe storage? Take those situations into consideration when organizing, then invest in storage that can help solve your problem. Also, don’t forget to add stacking trays, hooks, and drawer organizers in your closet. 

If you have extra budget, try installing a personalized closet. It is a great way to maximize the space of your whole wardrobe. They can be repositioned at any time, making it easier for you to change the zones in your closet when you feel like it. Another tip is to swap your plastic hangers for slim velvet hangers – it’s an affordable way to save space.  

5. Be mindful

Now that there’s a glorious empty space cleared out in your closet, it is tempting to fill it with new clothes and accessories. Our advice – don’t. Buying ill-fitting items impulsively because you have enough storage space is the last thing you’d want to do. 

Take this opportunity to be mindful about your shopping habits. Yes, think carefully about why you’re purchasing that same old stuff if you already have a bunch of them in your closet. Always remember, if you want to use an item on a regular basis, then that’s a good purchase. But if you’re in doubt, it is better to leave it out. 

Whether you have a walk-in closet or have limited space, these tips will help clean your wardrobe like a pro. Transform your closet into a wonderfully organized oasis. Think about the items that you want to keep and get rid of. Then, be creative on how to put all of them back again.
