Around this time of year you’ll find me knee deep in my own wardrobe rather than everyone else’s. This time of year is perfect to clear the clutter and make some space for the new season clothes pulled out from my storage boxes. Every inch of space will be taken up by heavy knits, leather trousers, knitted dresses, coats and big fluffy scarves.
When preparing your wardrobe space for Autumn, it’s all about creating the feeling of a clean page to greet you when you get dressed every morning. With a clear wardrobe you can see what you love about your Winter style, what you can’t wait to wear again and everything is easily accessible.
Tips on how to get your wardrobe Autumn ready
You have to be in the right mood to embark on your wardrobe swap over / edit. Make sure you have the time, the energy and the motivation to do it right and well.
Pack away summer things to allow your Autumn-Winter pieces to take up the space you have.
Try on the items you are unsure about and either put away for next year, donate it or sell it.
Think about the pieces you love and will wear time and time again and build on these key pieces every season.
Be tough on the pieces you don’t love or never wear, they are taking up space in your wardrobe aswell as in your mind.
I love to organise my wardrobe by product type so trousers together, blazers together and knits altogether so that it makes getting dressed everyday easier.
Remind yourself of your accessories such as bags, scarves and jewerlly so that you style it with your outfits.
