STEPS TO ORGANIZE & DECLUTTER –
Take out all the items you have in your wardrobe. Doing this will make it easy to rearrange your wardrobe and it will also help to establish items you forgot you owned.
Divide each category into 3 sections – Yes, Maybe, No.
Begin with pants, divide them into the above 3 piles, do this one by one with each category – shirts, T-shirts, shorts, etc.
Yes – Items you use regularly come in the ‘yes’ pile. These are your staples so it does not need any reviewing.
Maybe – Items that you haven’t used recently, but are willing to give a chance. Review each item in this pile – say it’s a shirt you are reviewing, think of 3 looks you can create by pairing this with other items in your wardrobe. Ask yourself will you wear this shirt in the near future? If the item passes both criteria, keep it otherwise toss it!
No – The ‘no’ pile consists of items you do not use because of – size issues, prominent damages, or gifts that do not translate to your style. Toss all the damaged items and donate the good ones.

How to organize & arrange –
Arrange it by occasion
Cleanly ironed, folded, and stacked according to occasion – formal, casual, and loungewear, for easy accessibility.
Arrange it by color
Arranging each category from light to dark or with the same color family makes it easy to pick and match clothes in no time.
Additional Tips –
- If you have a hanging rail facility in your wardrobe, hang outerwear and shirts that you frequently use.
- Store all occasion wear – seasonal knits, jackets, ethnic wear, suits, etc. in a separate compartment to keep it safe from moth. Bring it to the top compartment only when you need it.
- Keep micro accessories and socks in a drawer.
