Wardrobe Management – Make your wardrobe interesting!!Does it happen to you when you open your wardrobe you feel I don’t have anything to wear.Most of us face this situation as our wardrobe is not well managed. Let me share few tips which will help us to make our wardrobe manageable and more functional.To begin with remove everything from your wardrobe. It would be great if you could place it on a bed or a mat covered with preferably a white sheet or any light colour bed sheet. This will enhance the things which you place on them giving you a better picture.The crucial step in wardrobe management is sorting. Sort each and every piece of clothing item or an accessory. Have a close look at each piece and decide if it has to be retained or it needs attention or has to be discarded. You can categorize them in the following categories:1. Frequently used:In this section clothes and accessories which you wear very often like your daily office wear, casual wear, clothes which you wear at home, sportswear if you are involved in active sports, sleepwear would come.2. Infrequent use:In this category, clothes which you don’t wear often like your party outfits, heavy costume pieces and seasonal outfits like sweaters, rainy wear etc. would come. The frequency of use would be very less but you definitely need them for special occasions or as the need be.3. Needs attention:This category would have clothes and accessories which need some attention post which they are ready again for you to use. They would include clothes which need laundry, alteration or some amendments may in your clothes or accessories. Once the relevant work is done you can again place them back in your frequent or infrequent use category.4. DonateThere would be some clothes lying in your wardrobe which are ill- fitted, or something which you dislike can come in this category. You can donate or give away such clothes or accessories.5. DiscardClothes and accessories which have been worn out and faded come in this category. You just need to throw away them.By doing the last two steps, it helps in creating that extra space which was been occupied in your wardrobe for quite some time.Now arrange clothes and accessories which you need frequently in such a way that they are handy, visible, easy to remove and place back. You can further categorize your clothes like T-shirts, shirts, tops, bottom wear etc. You can stack them around 8 -10 pieces in a pile. You can also hang them on hangers depending upon the clothing item and the space available in your wardrobe.The clothes and accessories which are infrequent in use can be placed in different organisers. It would be preferable if the organizers are transparent so they are easily visible.Do make sure you provide some breathing space in the organisers. You need to protect them from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, dust and insects.Always remember to periodically evaluate your wardrobe. A well organised wardrobe is surely a WOW experience for you the each time you open it.Do provide your comments and let me know if you need any more tips and suggestions.
