From sorting clothes to choosing hangers and containers.

Twitter user Jelsamina (@Djelsamina) launched a big thread on how to organize a wardrobe to be as comfortable as possible. She gave a lot of really useful tips that are worth taking on board.

It's time for a thread about organizing a wardrobe.

If you regularly put things in order, but the closet with clothes is constantly a mess, this means that your closet / storage place for clothes is poorly organized.

The first and most painful step in any organization: throwing out the excess. Thousands of articles have been written on how to throw out excess clothing, and I will not repeat myself now. In any case, you need to take out all (absolutely all) clothes and put them in one place.

We divide a bunch of clothes into two: what is suitable for the weather in the near future and what is designed for another season. If it is summer and hot weather, light things will fall into one pile, and down jackets, knitted sweaters and warm pants will fall into the other. Winter - on the contrary, sandals will go to wait for the warmth.

We immediately deal with non-seasonal: it needs to be washed or dry-cleaned and stored only in its pure form. Wash and dry your shoes, or take them to dry cleaning, where they will do it for you. Adjust all clothes: check buttons, heels, zippers.

At this stage, you can put aside those off-season items that you don't like, are small, or already look bad. They can be thrown away, but I advise you to look for where to drop them in your city. Popular: H&M accepts old clothes.

All off-season clothes, after putting in order, will go out of sight until better times. It is best to use fabric containers instead of plastic ones:

There is a large pile of things left. Divide into categories again:

1) Outerwear

2) Accessories for outerwear (all sorts of scarves, gloves)

3) Shoes

4) Underwear

5) "Home" clothes

6) Accessories (belts, ties …)

7) Socks, stockings, tights

8) Leftover things that can be stored on a hanger - almost everything

9) The remaining things that cannot be stored on the hanger: knitwear (stretched). This also includes T-shirts and T-shirts that can be folded, jeans, thick sweatshirts. We will keep them on the shelves.

The first key to order in the closet: anything that can be hung on a hanger must be hung on a hanger. One thing is one hanger. The hangers should be the same size as the clothes. The heavier and tighter the clothes, the more solid the hanger should be.

Avoid using thin wire hangers as they damage your clothes. Ideal: wood, plastic or vinyl coated.

Fasten at least the top button - so the collar does not deform, and the thing will not cling when pulled out

If there is not enough space in the closet to hang everything, and there is no way to buy a new one:
