A tidy wardrobe is not only aesthetically appealing, but it also makes your everyday life much easier. When every piece of clothing has its place, you find what you're looking for faster and spend less time getting ready in the morning. In this article, we've collected 10+1 useful tips that will help you keep your wardrobe in order and replace chaos with a clear system. Don't worry, you don't have to be a pro at organizing – with these simple ideas, anyone can easily keep things organized!
1. Seasonal selection
One of the most effective ways to stay organized is to sort your clothes by season. Depending on the season, pack away the items you are not currently wearing, such as thick winter coats in the summer or light summer clothes in the winter. You can use vacuum storage bags or boxes that you can easily place on the top shelves of your closet, in the storage under the bed, or in another part of your closet. This will give you much more space for your everyday clothes and will also improve the clarity.
2. Sort regularly
Regular sorting is key to keeping your wardrobe organized. It’s a good idea to go through your closet at least twice a year to get rid of clothes you no longer wear or that no longer suit your taste. You can sell, donate, or recycle clothes you don’t need. This periodic sorting will help ensure that your closet only contains the items you actually use, making it easier to keep organized and your wardrobe more transparent.
3. Group by type
Grouping clothes by type makes everyday dressing and keeping your closet organized much easier. Place T-shirts, pants, shirts, skirts, and other items of clothing separately. That way, when you're looking for something, you can quickly find it in the right category. If you want to further enhance the system, you can also organize each group by color, making your closet not only functional but also aesthetic. Organizing by type not only saves space, but also time when getting ready in the morning.
4. Use uniform hangers
Using uniform hangers not only makes your wardrobe more aesthetically pleasing, but it is also practical because it evenly distributes the weight of your clothes and prevents them from creasing. If all your clothes are hanging on the same hanger, your closet will be much clearer and more organized. Choose non-slip hangers so that your clothes stay secure and don't fall off.

Small efforts will help you keep your wardrobe organized in the long run, so it always stays clear and practical.
+1 Learn the KonMari Method
The KonMari method , developed by Marie Kondo, is a worldwide popular organizing technique based on minimalism and assessing the emotional attachment to our belongings. The idea is to keep only the things that truly “spark joy” (as Marie Kondo puts it) and get rid of all unnecessary items. In the process of tidying up, we sort items by category, not by room. For example, we sort clothes first, followed by books, documents, and other items.
The KonMari method helps us not only physically but also mentally free ourselves from unnecessary things and create order that is sustainable in the long term. The method teaches regularity and awareness while reducing the chaos in the closet, thus helping to simplify everyday life.
Marie Kondo's book "Tidying Up Everything" provides detailed instructions on how to apply the method and provides inspiration to make tidying up enjoyable and effective.
