With February, spring is right around the corner. With spring, comes the dread of spring cleaning. It doesn’t have to be all toil. Put a new spin on it by refreshing your look with de-cluttering your closet. The weather starting to change so this is perfect time to reassess your wardrobe and make it a winning one.
Here’s how we recommend going about the process:
Step 1: Take everything out of your closet and start making piles according to the type of clothing.
Step 2: Try it all on, one by one. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself questions like:
As you being to go through this step, take note of the clothing you wear more often. What do you love about those pieces? Why does it work well for you? The end goal is to have those features in all of your clothing.
Step 3: Try on new clothing combinations. This can help determine new ensembles you never thought to try out. Pro tip: include any accessories in this step such as jewelry and watches.
Step 4: Now that you’ve tried on everything, this is where the hard part comes in. Place all clothing in three different piles.
Step 5: After having done that, take inventory of items you put into each pile. This will show you which items you consistently love, and which to avoid buying in the future.
Step 6: Lastly, put away the items you have committed to keep back in your closet. Hang similar items together in one area. Properly put away items you intend to donate or sell.
Regularly cleaning out your closet is crucial to staying fresh and up to date in the professional world, so we recommend conducting wardrobe audits once or twice a year. Soon enough, your closet will become the cleanest room in your home.
