How to tidy wardrobe

Every wardrobe has many problems: from the impossibility to find the necessary thing to the frustrated state in front of a mountain of clothes. Today, society is in favor of conscious and rational consumption of things: less is better, but better. We understand that shopping has become a part of our leisure time and there is no way to get over the domination of things, and we have collected some tips that will help you sort out your personal space, revise and arrange your wardrobe so as not to drown in a pile of dresses and you have a place for new finds.

Wardrobe is thingsthat you wear actively now. Therefore, the first step and the most correct: get rid of all the old things that you have not worn for at least a year. Whatever sentimental feelings you might have had with a sweater or shoes from a graduation ball, but it’s better to dispose of the cache of old and no longer be a hostage to things. Shake out all your wardrobe, look at every thing, measure it and look with fresh eyes. Does this or that thing in general with something? Arrange a party and distribute old things to your friends, take them to the garage sale or give to the needy, but do not save up clothing ballast for years. Fashion and design are changing rapidly, and if you follow fashion, then, of course, your tastes have evolved and changed a dozen times over the years, so there is nothing to save the remnants of the past. Throw out, hand out and create space for a new one!

Set aside everything that you wear constantly, what is comfortable and what has not lost its presentation. Basic expensive items in good condition such as a beige coat or a blue blazer of a good cut should be left - you will contact them again and again. Get rid of things that have lost their appearance, are torn or there are spots on them that can not be washed: there is nothing to keep the garbage. Ask yourself if you saw this item in the store now, would you buy it, why and why? Especially if it is a thing from the mass market that has been worn out for three years. Throw it out without thinking, you will be bored - buy a new one without its pellets. The exception is worn leather shoes and bags, which, as we know, over the years, only get better.

Make a list of thiswhat you have left. The points: jackets, pants, skirts, dresses, etc. Next write down what is missing. Think about new combinations of old things: even the most ordinary things can be refreshed by buying the right shoes or accessory - you yourself know this well! In order not to recycle a ton of things, in the future it is better to always buy less, but better - this principle lies on the surface, but few people remember about it when it comes to shopping. High-quality beautiful basic things are easily combined with each other and do not need additional questions. It’s better than trying to connect things randomly at different times each morning. When buying a new thing, think about 5 options in your head, with which to wear it from what you have. Ask yourself: do you have something like that and where will you put it on? And yet: what will have to give up, spending money?

Build a good base wardrobe. Wardrobe can be represented in the form of a children's pyramid. Its base is the base, and everything rests on it. Therefore, a good wardrobe should resemble a designer, in which one thing is easy to combine with another. Good shoes, boots, a trench coat, a coat, a suit, a great bag, a good dress and beautiful lingerie are things worth investing. In addition, buy a sufficient amount of basic cheap things: T-shirts, T-shirts, several belts of different widths, turtlenecks, a pair of midi skirts, sweatshirts, monochrome trousers will always come in handy. The base is about 50-60 percent good wardrobe. The rest is situational ("at the party / at work") and 10 percent is very fashionable, with which it will not be a pity to part.

Arrange the space. Buy beautiful hangers of different types, storage boxes, dressers, containers. Separate drawers for underwear, some for bodysuits and t-shirts, swimsuits, some for sports items. Tops, shirts and the other top if possible hang on hangers. You will have more options for what to wear if everything is in front of your eyes. Sweaters better to roll so that they do not stretch out. Many have seen in the shops neatly folded sweaters with envelopes, inside of which is cardboard or paper. To also neatly fold the clothes at home, there are special tabs with dry cedar or lavender: they will not only help you to beautifully fold the knitwear, but also flavor it and protect it from moths and bugs. It is better to put jeans on shelves in colors from dark to light, and skirts and trousers to hang on pairs of clothespins for several pairs so that everyone is in front of them. Dresses divided by type day / evening, and then - by color. Hang the belts and bags on the hooks.
