In this chapter, I am going to share with you how to organise your wardrobe.
FIND YOUR SYSTEM - a recognisable system means your clothes will always be in reach.
Organise these :
1. By item
2. By colour
Hang trousers, skirts, shirts, suits, coats, and jackets
Fold knitwear, t-shirts, loungewear and denimHANGERS- Wooden and padded hangers are the best for maintaining the shape of a garment.
TIP : Gain extra space in small wardrobes by using slim hangers.TIP : remove garments from plastic dry cleaner bags as they don't allow the fabric to breath.
STORAGE - Use a suitcase to store out of season garments or use boxes and keep them on the top shelf.
TIP : save on space by placing smaller handbags inside larger ones
DOORS - Maximise your wardrobe real estate and use a door rack to hang your belts, scarves, and ties.
DRAWERS - Customisable wire drawers are perfect for keeping fiddly things such as socks at bay. Drawer dividers will help keep things even neater. Keep hosiery and socks manageable by folding them together.
SHOES - Clear shoe boxes will protect your shoes whilst letting you see them at glance. Otherwise, invest in a shoe rack and keep it at the base of your wardrobe.TIP : you can fit more pairs by alternating the way their facing.
REDUCE - Remember out of sight means out of mind.
Keeping things visible will help remind you to wear them and those unworn items will have nowhere to hide.
According the pocket stylist all you really need are:
- 1 nice dress
- 2x jackets
- 3x skirts
- 3x sweaters
- 2x dark trousers
- 2x jeans
- 3x coats
- 1 button front white shirt
- a few t-shirtsOnce you've established a method for yourself, stick to it. Take the few extra seconds to put things back in their rightful place. You will be rewarded with a sense of calm the next day.
