Tips to organise your wardrobe
#1 Assess and Declutter: discard, donate and keep
Before embarking on the organisation process, it’s crucial to assess your wardrobe and declutter ruthlessly. Take each item out and evaluate it honestly. Ask yourself – do you love it? Does it fit well? Have you worn it in within the past year?
Discard or donate anything that doesn’t meet these criteria. By minimising your clothing collection, you’ll create more space and make room for new, exciting additions.
#2 Categorise and Sort
Next, categorise your clothes into groups to make them easier to find. Common categories include tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, and accessories.
Within each category, sort items by colour, style or season. This arrangement not only facilitates locating specific pieces but also creates an aesthetically pleasing visual display.

#4 Create a Capsule Wardrobe
Consider creating a capsule wardrobe, which is a collection of essential, versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits.
A well-curated capsule wardrobe simplifies decision-making and ensures you always have stylish options at your fingertips.
#5 Maintenance
Organising your wardrobe is an ongoing process that requires regular maintenance. Make it a habit to re-evaluate your wardrobe periodically, discarding items that no longer serve you and organising new additions. This practice will prevent clutter from building up and keep your wardrobe functioning optimally.
