It just seems impossible to keep\u00a0our wardrobe neat and tidy. Trust us, we know. Sometimes having to push away\u00a0all those piles of clothes to get to that dress at the back of the wardrobe feels like a full upper body workout. As much as we hate to admit it, the amount of clothes we squeeze into our wardrobe is about\u00a0close to defying laws of physics, with some items we have not worn\u00a0for over a decade.<\/p>\n

Gym sweats, party dresses, work formal, PJs. We may only have one season in Singapore, but we still have long lists of\u00a0occasions we require different attires for. This calls for a need to rethink how we organize our wardrobe, to introduce a good system and structure to it.<\/p>\n

All it takes is a little discipline, a determined mind and a Saturday afternoon to finally give our wardrobe a good clean up in three simple steps.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Show no mercy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pile<\/a><\/p>\n

We dread it, but what has to go, has to go. Instead of focusing on what you can afford\u00a0to throw, think about what you really want to keep. Do not let the\u00a0“maybes” occupy space in your closet for years and years.\u00a0The matter of fact is, you will probably always be able to find better go-to pieces\u00a0than these\u00a0“maybes”. \u00a0Keep only what you really like and will definitely wear in the future.<\/p>\n

We also have those pieces\u00a0of clothing\u00a0we hold on to just for keep-sake. We\u00a0am guilty of it too, with our secondary school uniforms still sitting in our wardrobes, to be brought out only during days of reminiscence (or company D&D events).\u00a0While it is alright\u00a0to hold on to a few of these for old times sake, too many of them\u00a0just\u00a0becomes a useless expense of space.<\/p>\n

How about that maxi you spent a bomb on but never got to wearing? Stowing it in the closet does not write off the cost already spent. The same goes\u00a0for the\u00a0pair of heels\u00a0that were simply too painful to wear out of the house.<\/p>\n

It is hard\u00a0to\u00a0say your goodbyes\u00a0to these once cherished pieces. But in Singapore, there are many ways\u00a0for you to give these preloved items\u00a0a new lease of life. Take part in a flea, sell them online, or donate them to those in need! Of course, there are always your siblings and cousins there on your receiving end of your hand-me-downs.<\/p>\n

Clearing out these items makes space for better organization, and of course, more clothes!<\/p>\n

Step 2:\u00a0Design and optimize<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hangers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before you fill all that empty space with more clothes, do take a moment to rethink and re-conceptualize the space in your wardrobe. Be your own little architect – measure and\u00a0allocate spaces for different types of clothing.<\/p>\n

This is where you can let your creative mind go wild. There are no limits in what you can use in your house to create new spaces in the closet! Think hooks, shelves, baskets, racks, and see what can go into your little project. Remember to reuse what you already have, and only buy what you need.<\/p>\n

Also, choose and get products that can withstand daily use, and do not get worn out easily. This is definitely worth the investment in time and energy, as an orderly\u00a0closet organization goes a\u00a0long way in ensuring your wardrobe remains tidy in the months ahead. At the end of the day you want a closet that still looks organized even as you pull and throw pieces of clothing\u00a0around during mad morning rushes to get to work.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Play it smart<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you replace your clothes back into your wardrobe, arrange them in a way that makes most sense to you.<\/p>\n

\"basket<\/a><\/p>\n

Personally, organizing\u00a0it by function (for gym, work, parties, sleeping etc.) works best for us, but there are plenty of other ways to do it\u00a0as well – by colour, by style, by frequency of usage and so on. Most importantly, use all available space and make\u00a0it beautiful – as a motivation to make sure it stays neat, and\u00a0to best bring out that fashionista in you!<\/p>\n

So there you go, three simple steps to give your wardrobe the\u00a0good clean up it deserves once and for all. It definitely is more tedious than how we make it sound, but every bit as worth it. And if you don’t have time to try out our advice, you can always add closet cleaning on to your next Helpling booking – find out more.<\/p>\n
