Your fall closet switch check list is here! It’s time to pack away the linen and bring out the wool. The weather is crisp and the evenings are chilly. Make the closet switch easier and more organized with these tips. Overall, brighter colors and lighter fabrics are typically for summer, so put them away. You’ll discover you have lighter jeans and heavier jeans, sweaters and dresses.
Sleeveless and short sleeve tops can be packed away and be replaced by the long-sleeved shirts and sweaters. Pro-tip: save out a white t-shirt and a black t-shirt in your winter closet to use for layering under long sleeve shirts or sweaters. Some items can be year-round wardrobe choices when you layer!
Shorts, culottes and lighter fabric skirts and dresses can go and be replaced with all your thicker fabric pants, skirts, and dresses for winter. Pro-tip: you can layer a pants under a dress, so make those matches now to be fashion-forward (and warmer) on cold days.
Accessories make the winter outfit. So have scarves, fun socks, hats and chunky jewelry out and ready. Sandals can be packed away as well, leaving you more room for boots and closed-toe shoes.
Don’t forget that while you are doing your closet switch, you can vacuum and dust the closet itself for the season. Take inventory of your hanger situation and add or subtract accordingly. Once you’ve got the switch accomplished, put together your first week of outfits, and get excited about sweater weather!
