How to Simplify Your Seasonal Clothing Switch
As the weather changes in Central Ohio, so do our wardrobes. The seasonal clothing switch can feel overwhelming—but with the right system, it becomes a smooth, stress-free process. At Love Your Space Ohio, we help clients declutter and organize closets so their seasonal transitions are quick and simple. Here are my top tips:
1. Start with a Closet Edit
Before packing anything away, take a good look at your current wardrobe. Ask yourself:
Did I wear this item this season?
Does it still fit and feel good?
Is it damaged, stained, or worn out?
Donate or discard anything that no longer serves you. Decluttering now makes next year’s switch so much easier.
2. Clean Before You Store
Always wash or dry-clean clothes before putting them away. Even small stains can set over time, and invisible oils attract moths and bugs. Clean clothes store better and last longer.
3. Choose the Right Storage Solutions
Invest in breathable bins, cotton garment bags, or acid-free boxes. Avoid plastic bags that trap moisture. For items like sweaters, fold them instead of hanging to prevent stretching.
Pro Tip: Cedar blocks or lavender sachets help deter pests naturally while keeping clothes fresh.
4. Label Everything
Labels are your best friend! They save you time later and keep your storage organized. Label bins with categories like “Winter Sweaters” or “Summer Dresses.”
5. Rotate With Intention
As you pack away one season, bring the next season forward. Place your most-worn items at eye level for quick access, and tuck away special-occasion pieces on higher shelves.
Why This Matters
A well-organized closet isn’t just about looks—it reduces decision fatigue, saves time in the mornings, and keeps your wardrobe in better condition. Think of it as a seasonal reset for your home and your mind.
