How to transition your wardrobe with success

When the seasons transition it’s very easy to stay stuck in previous seasons.  I often come across wardrobes with pieces dating back decades as well as from all other seasons.

Although the Mancunian weather is difficult to predict - winter is here and your wardrobe needs to keep up so that dressing everyday is easy and less time consuming so having a wardrobe ready to go is a must!

Why transitioning season to sean is important? Here are some problems you are likely to face if you don't do anything about your wardrobe this season:

  • Feeling of overwhelm every time you open your wardrobe

  • Outfit creation is difficult- Seeing out of season pieces e.g. floaty dress when you need a jumper will mess up your mojo

  • Time consuming- imagine all the other things you would achieve if you didn't waste time in front of your wardrobe to wind up wearing the usual go to.

Does this happen to you?  Here is how to fix the issue...

Are those summer pieces still in there?

I don't know how else to tell you this, but... we CAN most definitely DO BETTER!

Top tips for WARDROBE TRANSITION SUCCESS:

Set some time aside - on average it takes about three to five hours to depending on the size of your wardrobe to refresh.  If you haven't culled your wardrobe for a long time or if you've never done it before, it will feel overwhelming.  You could do an hour a week over a period of three to four weeks or you could break it down even shorter to 30 minutes twice a week. This makes it easier and less overwhelming.

  1. Remove any items you have not felt the need to wear in previous seasons- these items can be donated/sold or recycled.  This process will create the room in your wardrobe for newer more useful pieces.
