Sorting out your #summer #clothing for #storage can free up valuable #space early in the #fall. Just empty out your #closets and drawers, and  ask yourself whether those summery outfits still fit, if you’ll wear it again, and if you wish to keep, #donate it or trash it. Then, organize anything you want to keep for next summer into types of clothing and hide them away in bins to revisit when the weather gets warm again. “Swapping out clothes allows for extra closet and drawer space,” says A Bowl Full of Lemons. “It alleviates cramped spaces and #clutter. It’s also a great way to inventory what you have and what you need.” #ClothingSwap

When you’re prepping your #closets for #fall, you may be unsure just what can go into #storage bins and #donation bags. Likely candidates are flip-flops, espadrilles, sandals and other open-toed shoes; light cardigan sweaters; tropical prints; beach dresses, swimwear and summer rompers; and shorts and linen pants. If you don’t typically travel to warmer climates, all of these items can be stored out of sight — under the bed or on a high shelf — until you need them again in six months, says My Closet Edit. “If you do need access to your items for travel, you can have all of the off-season items to one side of your #closet or in a whole other closet in your home.”

Now that #summer is over, you may find that your warm-weather #clothing is getting in the way of — or getting in the way of locating — the pants, shirts, sweaters and coats you want to wear for #fall. It’s time to do a seasonal #wardrobe swap! Gather space bags, shoe bags, #bins and labels, and sort all of that summer gear out of your #closet and into #storage for the #winter, says Apartment Therapy. Also have some bags for any #garments you find that can be trashed immediately or #donated to help #veterans through ClothingDonations.org. You’ll be thrilled to rediscover your cold-weather clothing and be able to #organize and find it easily. #ClothingSwap
