Preparing for a seasonal wardrobe shift doesn’t need to be overwhelming. As winter fades and spring emerges, a smart approach to transitioning your clothing can simplify the process. Here are practical steps to efficiently manage the shift from winter to spring attire with help from your storage unit.
Sort Through Your Wardrobe
Begin by sorting your clothing from the heaviest and warmest attire to the lightest, coolest garments. Since spring temperatures can be unpredictable, you don’t want to put all your warm gear in storage yet, but you can pack up your heaviest outerwear like heavy coats, scarves, and thick sweaters. Keep things that layer well like lighter jackets, thin sweaters, and tee shirts for optimum spring dressing. Those will be your go-to pieces for the upcoming season.
Try it on.
Sorting your clothing will give you a good idea of where you have gaps in your wardrobe. Take it a step further by trying things on to make sure everything fits and coordinates. Set aside outdated or ill-fitting clothing for donation and make a wish list of items you need to complete your spring wardrobe.
Pack Strategically
Pack away your winter clothing using practical methods such as waterproof containers, vacuum-sealed bags, or hanging garment bags. Try to put like things together like sweaters in one container, and outerwear in another and label them clearly. This will allow you to grab exactly what you need out of your storage unit when the weather starts to get cold again.
Don’t Forget Footwear & Accessories
Winter boots and accessories like hats, gloves, and scarves take up a lot of room! Don’t forget to include them in your seasonal packing along with seasonal gear like skis, sleds, and tire chains.
