How To Properly Fold And Store Summer Clothes For The Winter
When the end of summer is fast approaching, that is the time to strategize your seasonal closet swap.
When the end of summer is fast approaching, that is the time to strategize your seasonal closet swap. If you're not in the habit of routinely storing your off-season clothing, there are quite a few benefits to it. For example, say that you're consistently cramming things into your closet or dressers and, just as often, struggling to find what you need. According to The Container Store, stowing away the items that you won't reach for in the next six months maximizes the space you have for your current clothing. Just imagine how much more room there will be to store sweatpants or sweaters if a drawer of bathing suits is freed up.
In addition, per Organized Interiors, you'll be able to prolong the condition of your clothing if they're stored properly. Having shorts and dresses, for example, folded neatly and kept dust free over the winter months will preserve their state. This is simple to accomplish if you have a method to follow. That way, you can repeat the system in the future, ideally twice per year, especially if you live in an area that experiences all four seasons. The start of fall and the start of spring are the best times for this organization project.
From decluttering the things you won't need next year to properly folding the things you do want to keep and from the best bins to store things to labeling them, check out the following method to store summer clothes for the winter season.
