As September arrives, it’s time to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall. An organized closet makes your mornings easier, lets you enjoy seasonal changes with style, and keeps your clothing in good condition. Here’s a practical guide to smoothly swapping your summer basics for comfortable fall clothing.
1. Empty and Assess Your Closet
-
Remove all items from your closet and check each piece.
-
Keep clothing that fits and suits your style.
-
Donate pieces that no longer fit or are out of fashion.
-
Discard damaged items.
Your closet should inspire you, not frustrate you.
2. Store Out-of-Season Clothing
-
Wash, dry, and iron items before storing.
-
Use ventilated storage bags or units.
-
Keep cedar blocks or lavender sachets in storage to maintain freshness.
-
Leave space in your closet for fall essentials.
3. Organize Fall Clothing
-
Arrange clothes by type, color, or frequency of use—whichever works best for you.
-
Use boxes for accessories (belts, scarves, etc.).
-
Replace old hangers with slim velvet ones to prevent slipping.
-
Maximize space:
-
Hang items vertically if the closet is small.
-
Use hooks for scarves and bags.
-
Consider hanging shoe organizers or under-bed storage for bulky items like blankets.
-
4. Maintain an Organized Closet
-
Add scented sachets or cedar blocks for freshness and a touch of luxury.
-
Establish regular habits:
-
Fold clothes after washing.
-
Wipe down the closet weekly.
-
Reassess your closet every few months and donate items you no longer wear.
-
-
Regular review keeps your closet practical and allows space for new items you’ll love.
5. Inspect Fall Clothes
-
Check stored fall clothes for:
-
Needed repairs or refreshing.
-
Pieces that no longer suit your style.
-
Items not worn in multiple seasons—consider donating them.
-
-
Cedar blocks, hangers, and storage bags help protect natural fibers like wool from moths and pests.

Vacuum and dust the closet weekly, and inspect corners for hidden dust or debris.
