Due to the imminent arrival of spring, it is time to begin preparing for the warmer and more wet weather that will soon follow. Although it may seem premature, getting a head start on spring cleaning will set you up for success once the warmer weather arrives in full force. It’s worth considering incorporating your closet into your spring cleaning routine this year.

If you’re anything like us, “preparation” for a new season consists only of making a hurried trip to the mall to add to a closet that’s already overflowing with clothes. And a lot of the clothes we buy end up in closets or drawers, untouched.

Our current challenge is figuring out how to better ready ourselves. Rather than making random purchases, we’ll be sorting through our closets to get rid of seasonal excess and making strategic additions to our winter and summer wardrobes.

With this method, you can easily curate a wardrobe full of items you love and will really wear. Follow these guidelines and you will be well on your way to achieving your objective.

Put Away Items That Are For Aumtimn/Winter 

Putting away clothes that are only appropriate at certain times of the year is the first and most important step in getting your closet ready for spring. In general, you should keep all of your winter gear stored away until the next year, but depending on where you live, you might want to keep a few heavier things in rotation just in case there is a spell of very hard weather. Your winter clothes are probably rather cumbersome, and as a result, they take up the majority of the room in your closet. By putting these clothes into storage, some of the space in the closet can be made available for items of clothing that are more suited to the current season

Before putting anything into storage, be sure that it has been cleaned and that any necessary repairs have been made. This will ensure that they keep their integrity and that when you wear them again next winter, they will look just as good as they did when you first bought them. During the process of packing away your winter gear, you can consider reserving some of it for a charitable organization

Bring Out Your Lighter Layers 

After you have put away your winter clothes and made sure they are secure, you can next begin to bring out your lighter layers. When you bring your belongings out of storage for the spring and summer, you should make sure to do a thorough inventory of the items you have available to you. Not only should you count the number of objects you own, but you should also take note of the different designs and hues that each item features. Because of this, you will have a clearer picture of the products at your disposal, and it will be much simpler for you to imagine new outfit combinations. When putting together a wardrobe for the spring, it is important to select pieces of clothing that may be readily layered with others. This will ensure that you are constantly warm and dry regardless of what the weather brings, and it will also boost the number of outfits that you can design.

Once you have started to bring out your lighter layers, you may also want to think about a new hairstyle to match. It’s time to have a look at u-shaped versus v-shaped haircuts and make a swap for a lighter, fresher hairstyle for the spring. 

Create Some Ready To Go Outfits 

It’s a story as old as time: you carefully examine your closet, which is full of lovely and cozy clothing items, only to realize that you do not have a single item in your closet that you would consider putting on. Establishing a few outfits that are always ready to go is the most effective strategy for overcoming this typical problem with one’s wardrobe. Put together a few different outfits that are already made up so that you have options for a wide range of activities, such as going to work, school, on a date, or doing errands. 

Keeping in mind that the weather in the spring may be rather changeable, it may be in your best interest to select many alternative clothing options so that you can adapt to any conceivable weather conditions that may arise. There is a high probability of rain throughout April; therefore, it is important to prepare several outfits suitable for use on wet days.

Create A Shopping List For New Pieces 

Creating a wish list for your new spring outfit is probably one of the most enjoyable aspects of getting your closet ready for spring. You will be able to generate a wish list for future clothing acquisitions that is more specific if you take into account the contents of your existing closet as well as suggestions for ready-to-wear ensembles. You can make more considered choices by consulting your wardrobe wish list rather than mindlessly wandering around the mall and buying whatever goods strike your fancy at the moment.

Remove Any Items That Are Too Big Or Too Small 

To get started, empty your closet and put every item of clothing you own through its paces. If any of them don’t fit you anymore, whether it’s because they never did before or because you’ve gained weight or changed shape, you need to be merciless and get rid of them.

Consider selling them on eBay or donating them to a thrift store if they are still in good enough condition to be resold. In any other case, you can either throw them away or bring them to a clothing recycling bank.

Get Rid Of Anything That Doesn’t Compliment Your Figure 

When it comes to shopping for clothes, one of the most common mistakes people make is purchasing an article of clothing that looks fantastic on a model, mannequin, or even a friend, but just doesn’t look right on them.

It could be a cut that doesn’t flatter your figure or a color palette that doesn’t do your coloring any favors. Either one of these things could be the problem.

Regardless of how much you adore an item, if it doesn’t work with your body type, you probably won’t wear it. And even if you do decide to wear it, you probably won’t feel as at ease in it as you would in an outfit that is better suited to your body type.

Therefore, if you own any articles of clothing that you are aware do not flatter your figure, you should either throw them away, sell them, or donate them. If there’s something you’re not entirely sure about, consult an honest buddy who you know you can count on.

Get Some Inspiration 

After you have simplified the items in your current wardrobe, it is time to start thinking about new ways to update your look.

However, make sure that you are drawing inspiration from the proper places! The following are some helpful hints for you:

• Find inspiration that complements your body type and coloring by first determining your body type and coloring.
• Find persons whose sense of style you admire and consider to be your “style heroes.” These can be close friends, famous people, or influential people in the fashion world.
• Look through several fashion publications, as well as Pinterest and Instagram, to find the most recent styles that appeal to you.

Start To Add New Pieces To Your Wardrobe Gradually 

After you’ve gathered some ideas, it’s time to start looking for new clothing to add to your collection to fill in the blanks. When putting together outfits, it’s important to search for things that can stand on their own as well as pieces that can be paired with other items in your closet.

The following are some new items that you might want to consider purchasing for the spring and summer:

• A lightweight coat, such as a mac, for days in the spring that are chilly and may have showers.
• Dresses with floral patterns worn at the midi length can be dressed up or down, and they will take you from spring through summer.
• a relaxed pair of linen pants; once again, seek a pair that you can style in either an elegant or casual manner.
• A pair of affordable wedge sandals, perfect for pairing with your floral dresses or your favorite pair of denim.
• A multifunctional jean jacket.
• A shoulder bag slung across the body that is just large enough to hold everything you need for the day but not so large that it turns into a walking skip.
• A wicker basket large enough to hold all of the summer necessities for a day at the beach… or a day of shopping.
