Sometimes it can be hard to pick out an outfit when you are in a hurry. You may have a favorite blue blouse to go with a darker blue skirt, yet cannot find where it is. You may also have certain outfits that you always wear together. Here are some ways to organize your outfits for any occasion so that you spend less time searching through your wardrobe closet.
Organize by Color
Organizing by color allows you to color match outfits that you may wear and ensures that you know where certain pieces are simply at a glance. To organize by color, you can place all the same color garments together in one place and then hang by shades. For example, start with darker shades and then move into the lighter shades as well as pastels. If you want a specific way to arrange the color groupings, you can go by the rainbow colors and end with white, black, and gray hues. You may also arrange the groupings based on your personal favorite colors.
Organize by Occasion
Organizing by occasion is more traditional and works when people have a lot of items for work or special occasions. Start with the type of clothing that you wear most often, such as everyday clothing and work clothes. Next, arrange based on the outfits that you wear most often. Place matching suit sets on the same hanger, with pants and blouses or jackets together, so you only have to pull that hanger out to have all the clothing you need. Grouping your favorite clothing pieces together or close to each other allows you to grab the items at the front of the closet without digging into the back looking for missing items.
Organize by Season
Lastly, you can organize your clothes by season. Start with your favorite season at the front of the closet, which will more than likely have the most clothing items. Then place all your clothing items for that season in that section. When seasonal clothing is all kept together, it will be easy to rotate your wardrobe throughout the year.
You can also combine other organization techniques, such as arranging by color, occasion, or outfit. Just as before, place the items you wear most often at the front and the least worn farther back. If you find items that have not been worn at all, consider decluttering the closet to have more space.
