With crisp temperatures and the muted colors of fall, it’s time to swap your summer attire for cozy sweaters, warm scarves, and boots. Trading seasonal items in your closet makes it easier to access, outfit plan, and allows you to part with pieces that you no longer wear. Plus, when you have a Laurastar product, you can ensure the pieces you love receive the TLC they deserve to be worn for years to come.
Tackling a closet seems like a daunting task, but if you follow four tips, you’ll find this to be the perfect opportunity to put on a podcast, have a fashion show, and upgrade your closet in a weekend or afternoon (the choice is yours!)
Take Inventory and Pack Away
Switching out your wardrobe is the perfect time to evaluate your inventory. If a piece hasn’t been worn in years, isn’t of sentimental value, and seems to only be taking up space, it’s time for it to move on. These items can be donated or even used in upcycling projects.
If there are pieces you love that are only wearable in the warmer months, pack these away in storage bins or vacuum-sealed bags. This keeps them preserved for next year and gives your closet more room for those thick, comfy knits!
Say Hello to Fall Favorites
There is something about taking out a box of seasonal clothes and introducing them into your rotation. It’s like a brand-new wardrobe! This also gives you another opportunity to ensure pieces are in good condition and still fit your needs. Don’t forget to rotate autumnal accessories and footwear.
Organize Your Closet
Taking the time to organize your closet allows you to find pieces faster and keep things organized. We love organizing tops and sweaters by sleeve length (this makes it easier when putting away laundry - everything has a place!). Leveraging storage cubes for accessories like belts and scarves is a great way to keep these miscellaneous items corralled.
Keep Fabrics Fresh
Taking items out of storage can lead to wrinkles and at times a musty smell. Laurastar products feature DMS (dry microfine steam) which allows for pieces to be cleaned, steamed, and refreshed effortlessly. It even can remove odors from clothing without the use of chemicals. For clothing specifically, we love IZZI Plus or Lift to help you be the best dressed every day of the week.
