Putting summer things together

1. Prepare things

Before storing things for a long time, put them in order. Wash, iron, disassemble. You may need something from your summer wardrobe in the fall, such as a basic T-shirt or a linen shirt.

2. Roll the knitwear into tubes

Summer clothes are good because they do not take up much space in the closet. And to minimize the “expenditure” of the closet area even more, fold the knitwear into tubes or a pile, and place it vertically — this is how Marie Kondo advises to store things in this business.

3. Put into boxes and baskets

Use storage systems to store items for the entire season. That way they won’t get dusty and you won’t have to wash them again before next summer.

4. Swimwear — in canvas or fabric bags

Particular attention should be paid to the storage of swimwear. Since they are made of elastic material, they are not stored in a plastic bag for a long time — they become damp, and mold may even start. Cloth bags or bags are best. Before putting away your swimsuit for the next season, wash it and dry it thoroughly.

The video showed several ways to fold a swimsuit compactly, as well as options for folding underwear, pajamas, socks and tank tops.

5. Prepare your shoes

Shoes also need to be washed, summer sneakers or sneakers can be washed in a washing machine on manual mode.

6. Put it in a divider organizer and put it away

Summer shoes are usually light and do not take up much space, so they can easily fit into a organizer basket with dividers. Thus, it is convenient to store all pairs of summer shoes in one place. You can remove such a basket on the top drawer of the cabinet or, for example, under the bed.

Get your fall wardrobe

1. Air your clothes

Sweaters, jeans, coats need to be aired — hang things on the balcony, let them breathe fresh air.

2. Rethink your wardrobe

It’s time to get rid of the unnecessary. Try things on, see how you look in them, how relevant they are and match your image. Perhaps among them there are those things that it is high time to send «to rest». So do it. It is simply necessary to empty the closet periodically.

3. Hang up and put on the shelves

Knitwear and woolen items are best stored folded on a shelf so that they do not stretch out, but outerwear, shirts and trousers can be hung on hangers.

4. Make a List of What You’re Missing

And now (and only now), when you have dismantled the closet, tried on the things of your wardrobe, you can decide what things you are missing. With this approach, you will always have a place to store new things.
