How to Swap Out Seasonal Clothes: Organize Your Closet for Fall

Closet Confessions
October 11, 2024•2 min read

With the changing seasons, I’m swapping out my clothes by putting away my spring and summer items, and making way for the comfy sweaters and beautiful layers I put away last year.

  

Do you also keep your closet organized by season?

 

Doing a seasonal clothing swap is a total wardrobe game-changer. Each season, you feel like you have a whole new closet when you switch items out… because you do!

 

 

In March 2019, I found out I was pregnant, so I didn’t even get to wear my favorite fall and winter pieces last year. When I unpacked these items from storage, it was like opening up a treasure chest!

 

Also, I totally forgot that I stored away dresses, tops, and other items that I wouldn’t be able to wear while I was pregnant. I wanted to make sure my closet only had items I could wear so I wouldn’t go to get dressed and feel sadness over everything that was way too small for my pregnant body.

 

Opening up my storage bin of fall items to swap out seasonal clothes was a huge pick-me-up this week. I totally needed that lift! I got to play dress up and try on all my old favorites again.

 

Here’s how to swap out your seasonal clothes for fall and winter!
