5 TIPS TO DETOX YOUR WARDROBE FOR SUMMER

The boxes ready, it’s time for a major wardrobe summer clean! So, fashion folk, here are five top tips on how to organize your wardrobe for this summer.

1. Take everything out of your closet to assess

Now this is the hard part. You need to ask yourself which items are actually important to you. Look at each item individually and start piles of items – those that you still wear all the time, those that are of sentimental value, those that are off-season, and ones that you’re not sure of.

2. Beware of the excuses

Truth: whenever the time comes to say goodbye to our wardrobe relics, we always manage to find a sympathy excuse to keep them.

3. Get things repaired

How many items in your wardrobe just need cleaning, or fixing, to get a second lease of life? Don’t put it off, get all your repairs in a pile and sort them out now.

4. Sell or giveaway the pieces you were going to throw out

Just because you no longer love it, doesn’t mean that someone else wouldn’t. Second-hand fans will be pleased to get their hands on something you thought had lost its wow-factor.

5. Now re-build your perfect, refined wardrobe

Along with reflecting your personal style, ask yourself, ‘Do you have enough clothes for all of your different activities?’ Keep a balance of items and make sure you’ve got things that cover these three categories; personal style essentials, plain basics and statement pieces. Any fashion gaps? Well, what did you think you were going to spend all your hard-earned re-sale cash on?
