Clothes Closet Detox

  • by Diego Alaguna

Do you have a closet full of “I don't know what to wear”?

A new year is about to begin and we want to give you some tips so that you can do a closet detox and receive 2022 with space in your hands and shelves for the new clothes, trends, colors and styles that a new year brings.

1. Make 4 groups and separate the spaces to divide your clothes and accessories.

1. Select and locate each garment and accessory according to each of these categories.

  • What garments remain fixed in your closet.
  • What items can go?
  • Which garments should you fix or modify.
  • Memory drawer.
  1. What you should remove from your wardrobe Clothes / accessories / shoes
  • In poor condition (broken, discolored or stained)
  • Worn or that hurt or squeeze.
  • What does not favor you according to your body or colors.
  • That which you do not feel comfortable or you are not going to take the time to experience.
  • The "orphans" that you do not know how to combine or use occasion.
  1. Organize your closet by category and colors Ex: Coats, blouses, beachwear... etc.
  2. Make a box, with your favorite aroma, carefully fold and store the clothes that go to the memory drawer, that shirt of your favorite artist, your first bathing suit or your grandmother's coat.
  3. Don't forget to have a full-length mirror near your closet.
  4. Try to have appropriate lighting in your space arranged for this purpose.
  5. Organize this space periodically and do this exercise every semester maximum, and thus optimize time and space.
  6. Other questions you should ask yourself in this process.

Have I used it in the last 6 months?

Is it stained, unstitched or missing any pieces?

Do I have it for sentimental reasons?

Is it my size, and does it make me feel comfortable?

Does it reflect my style and personality?

Would I buy it again?

  1. Clothes, accessories and shoes that are in good condition but you no longer want them to be part of your closet, you can donate them to a foundation.
