Stop collecting clothes! It’s time to do it decongestant of the wardrobe. You will see that your wardrobe will thank you and in the end you will be happier too. This practice, which consists in getting rid of unnecessary things, has become especially famous thanks to Marie Kondothe international class guru, and she KonMari method.
Compared to classic absorption, Kondo recommends keep only what brings you joy, starting from the assumption that these are the things we really need. Everything else is too much. Us 10 rules for decluttering the closet don’t rely solely on his method: we’ve added some other easy and practical suggestions. See how you can put order in your wardrobe and get rid of useless clothes.
Take it all out
The first thing to do, if you intend to get rid of the unnecessary, is empty the closet. Marie Kondo’s Reason! Don’t worry about ordering at this stage chaos is your ally. You will still have an overview of the situation before your eyes… probably in disbelief. You may find it again hidden treasures that you thought were lost forever. And you will probably realize that many clothes are no longer needed. If it’s convenient for you, spread the clothes on the bed or on a rug.
Divide the clothes and accessories into 3 groups
The second step is the dividing clothes and accessories into three groups. On the one hand, the things you like and continue to willingly wear it. Remember: Marie Kondo suggests keeping only what makes you happy. from another place, everything that doesn’t convince you: from clothes you don’t like to those that no longer fit or simply don’t reflect your current style.
The third group is the one reserved… for indecisiveness. That is, group those clothes that still tease you but you’re not convinced you want to keep wearing, for one reason or another. Also for this step, don’t pay too much attention to the order: there’s no point folding and folding, now the goal is to clarify!
Put aside the discarded clothes and focus on the approved ones
Leave group 3 aside for nowor that of indecision, e.g group 2, discarded clothes. You will decide later what to do with them, depending on how recoverable they are.
Focus your attention on clothes and accessories that have passed the first steps e.g divide them into categories. On one side the trousers, on the other the shirts. and also t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, various accessories. This way, it will be easier for you to understand how many items you have for each category. If there is too much of some or too little of others.
Reorganize the closet
Now look at the closet. As? Spacious? Well organized; Equipped with sufficient shelves and drawers? If the answer is no, it needs to be fixed. Very useful stackable organizers these Collapsible space-saving organizers equipped with several shelves, which can be attached to the wardrobe rod. There are also versions for underwear and socks.
The modular boxes, however, can be useful for accessories. Separating your wardrobe is important so you don’t always have to dig through your clothes. Don’t forget the hangers! Better to have many and all similar, but separated by species.
Fold clothes correctly
Fifth phase of wardrobe absorption: fold clothes properly. Follow Marie Kondo’s suggestions. that is, fold them to form a rectangle instead of the classic square.
Everything that doesn’t require folding, however, just needs to be hung: from dresses to jackets, from coats to shirts. And also some pants, especially if they are sensitive.
Also fold clothes and socks
Underwear and socks? Avoid rolling them and stick them in the closet all crumpled up. The KonMari method suggests arrange the socks on top of each otherfold them almost in half and then again so that you have a small rectangle that stands on its own.
Regarding the briefs, fold them into six parts to get the usual rectangle. THE bra they must be hooked and placed on a special shelf.
Fill the wardrobe by separating the items by type
If you have organized the wardrobe with the special organizers, everything will easily fall into place. So t-shirts on one side, sweaters on the other, the same for trousers, skirts, underwear, socks and various accessories. If you want to be very precise, you could also separate them by color.
And as Marie Kondo advises, think hang the items starting with the darkest and heaviest oneson the left, to gradually reach the purest and lightest, to the right. Watch your pants: if some models such as jeans can be easily folded and stored in the appropriate spaces, the more delicate ones require hanging.
Use vacuum bags for bulkier items
Vacuum bags and envelopes they are especially handy when it comes to restoring your wardrobe. Because they help to optimize spaces. They are generally used for blankets, quilts, pillows, but you can also use them for the bulkiest items of clothing.
For example heavy sweaters that you use during the cold season or coats and jackets to hold during the change of season. They protect them from dirt and save space.
Return to the “undecided” group and clarify
Now that your wardrobe is perfect, go back to the “undecided team” (remember that?) to clarify. Calmly look at the items you have already placed in the closet, then look at the others as well choose only those that seem to match the rest of your wardrobe.
If there are clothes or accessories that you like but don’t feel like wearing anymore, get rid of them without a second thought.
Get rid of discarded clothes
Don’t want to keep them in a molding corner? The clothes and accessories you discarded in the early stages of absorption should soon disappear. But how to get rid of used clothes? You have many options.
You can I sell those in good condition through thrift apps or your neighborhood stores. And that’s how you get a nest egg too. Or you can give them to charity, contacting some voluntary associations that need it. Instead of this things that cannot be saved must be thrown away, without hesitation. That’s it, the wardrobe absorption is done! Did you see the results?
