Seasonal wardrobe transitions are the perfect time to declutter, reorganize, and refresh your style. Whether you’re moving from winter to spring or fall to winter, knowing what to keep, store, or donate helps you make the most of your closet.

Step 1: Take Everything Out
Lay all your clothes out so you can assess what you own. This helps you avoid duplicates and rediscover hidden gems.

Step 2: Sort into 3 Categories

• Keep: Items you wear often, feel great in, and suit the upcoming season.
• Store: Out-of-season pieces in good condition. Fold and pack them in labeled containers or under-bed bins.
• Donate/Sell: Clothes that don’t fit, haven’t been worn in over a year, or no longer suit your style.

What to Keep:

• Transitional items like cardigans, lightweight jackets, and layering tees
• Season-specific essentials (e.g., raincoats for spring, boots for fall)
• Everyday basics that work year-round

What to Store:

• Bulky coats, heavy knits, gloves, and scarves during warmer months
• Shorts, tank tops, and swimsuits during winter

What to Donate or Sell:

• Clothes in good condition that no longer spark joy
• Trendy items you’re over
• Duplicates or items you’ve outgrown

Pro Tip:
As you sort, make a list of any gaps in your wardrobe — this will help you shop with purpose when the new season arrives.

A seasonal swap isn’t just about organizing — it’s about curating a wardrobe you love, wear, and actually use.
