How to change your wardrobe in autumn?
Let's not deny it, we'd love to have more square footage at home so we could have more closets and avoid changing our clothes every season. How lazy! If you feel this way, you're not alone; we've all been there.
It's important to keep in mind that, despite the laziness and workload, keeping your closet organized and stocked with the clothes you need
will make your daily life easier . Now, when the fall wardrobe change is approaching, where should you start? Also, consider our article with tips on how to
change your wardrobe in the summer .
Store summer clothes
The first thing we should do when changing our wardrobe in the fall is to empty the closet and
underwear drawers . Summer clothes need to be removed to make room for new season clothes.
It's important to
keep your clothes washed, ironed, and smelling good . You can pack them in suitcases or store them in boxes. We recommend following Marie Kondo's advice for properly rolling clothes to prevent wrinkles. When washing,
use fabric softener to maintain the good smell, and if you like, add some sealed bars of soap to the suitcases or boxes with a mild scent you like. That way, when summer returns, you'll just have to take them out and hang them up.
Use a good storage system
Suitcases are the most traditional method for homes with limited space, but if you have a
storage shed or large loft where you can store unused clothes, opt for one of these options:
- Hermetic bags.
- Boxes with lids.
- Hangers wrapped in bags.
The goal is to
keep your clothes in the best possible condition for when you need to wear them again, and to ensure they don't take up valuable space in your home until the next season arrives.
Clean the closet
This is a step many people overlook. However, it's necessary to clean it with
a mild disinfectant that won't harm the wood and leave it open for a few hours to air out. If you like, you can also place scented sachets or bars of soap in the corners and drawers.
Choose the clothes for the new season
It's time to choose your fall clothes. Surely, while emptying your closet, you realized that
some items can stay because they're mid-season and will be useful at times.
Choose what you're going to wear this fall, and
if you find items you haven't worn in a while, discard them and set them aside until you decide what to do with them. It's important not to overcrowd your closet and keep in mind what you're actually going to wear.
Renew your underwear
With the autumn wardrobe change approaching, it's time to take a look at your drawers and decide whether
to update your underwear . Surely more than one item of clothing is due for a change. There's nothing better than starting a new season with new underwear. Also, remember that
summer fabrics may not be the most appropriate for fall . At
