Winter to Summer Closet Transition-5 tips
When those first warm days finally roll in after a long winter, the last thing you want to do is stare at a closet full of warm sweaters. Let’s talk how to transform your closet from Winter to Summer.
Summer is a time for bright colors, lighter clothing, and a fresh, new wardrobe. How do you successfully take your closet into the next season without ending up with a giant mess when it’s time to change it back?
5 ways to transform your closet from winter to summer while being as organized as possible.
1. Store Those Warm, Bulky Layers
Whether you live in a climate that goes straight from winter to summer or one that has an unpredictable, one thing is certain, you aren’t going to need those bulky layers anymore. Take a look in your closet at all the clothing items (including accessories and shoes!) that are winter-specific. That super-warm turtleneck, those fleece-lined leggings, and your stash of scarves can all be folded up and stored neatly for next year.
2. Keep Some Transitional Pieces Out
As you’re going through your winter clothes, be mindful of the layers that you may still need. If you know that there will be some cooler days or evenings and there, you may still want to throw on a light cardigan or long-sleeved shirt, avoid packing those away. We don’t want you to store away your winter apparel only to realize you jumped the gun and still need a warmer layer or two.
3. Purge The Items You No Longer Wear
If you’re knee-deep in your closet, pulling out clothing that you didn’t wear all year – get rid of them. There’s no sense in hanging on to clothing that you’re never going to wear again. All that does is take up more space. Instead, part ways with the clothing that you never wear or that doesn’t fit. Bring it to a local clothing drop off or sell it to a consignment shop.
4. Color Code Your Summer Clothes Before Installing Them In Your Closet
Your brightly colored summer clothing looks even better when you organize it by color in your closet. It’s also a great way to know what you own and help prevent yourself from buying duplicates. By organizing your closet by color, you can be more efficient in dressing each day and your closet will look great, too!
5. Add Some Bright, Fun Hangers
Speaking of your closet looking great, consider switching out your hangers, too. Trade-in those drab blacks and greys for bright pinks, yellows, or blues. New hangers are an easy and affordable way to change up the whole look and feel of your closet.
As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, your wardrobe will inevitably change. By keeping these 5 tips in mind as you transition your closet, you can achieve a bright, efficient closet that sets the tone for an amazing summer season!
