#1. Throw those junks away

The first step would be to remove all the unworn clothes and accessories like shoes, belts, hats and so on. You can keep it in a box to donate later or simply toss them away. Avoid storing clothes or things with holes, tears, rips and any other damage thinking them to mend later. Rather make a box to keep this unkept clothes and we can have another blog on turning out interesting assets made out of the worn out stuff.

As you have pulled out the clothes from the clothes, so before putting them or arranging them into dress types it's time to take some measures against those endless moths. There are some pesky moths that damage clothes. You might find large holes in your clothes that make it beyond repair, especially in vintage clothing like the old banarasi silk sarees of your mum. It’s because moths just love clothes made of natural fibres, and they won't gather a moss to know how expensive they are for you. So prevent them - fill a linen drawstring bag or pop socks with dried lavender and hand them inside the wardrobe.

#3. Choice of hangers

We come across a number of hangers in the market, so consider your choices wisely. Those slim velvet hangers you have bought the other day they should be for the lighter clothes only like silk or chiffon sarees. Wooden hangers are best for the suits and heavyweight coats or the zari filled sarees. For skirts and trousers it is better to use clip hangers.

#4. Manage the space

Not everyone has a large wardrobe, so space management should be a part of your organizational skill. If you do not have enough space in your wardrobe to hang all of your clothes and store the seasonal items like woollen clothes or summer clothes in a box separately. In the spring and summer you can pop your winter wardrobe in the moth protective bags and store them under your bed or put them in the loft.

#5. It’s time to ORGANIZE

No, I wont set any hard and fast rules to organize the wardrobe. It’s all on your personal preference. Arrange as it works for you. Consider your space and see how you’d like to see your clothes, like where you want to see your silk sarees and will you like to organize clothes or your sarees by color, category or season.
