Thank you Alyssa for this tutorial. I just recently decluttered my entire closet and put my fall/winter clothes away in totes. I also colour coded my clothes and I find that really works. It was a huge undertaking, a lot of trips to Good Will.I too , like the velvet hangers and everything uniform in my closet. You wouldn’t believe how good it made me feel ,such a euphoric feeling came over me. 😊🙋‍♀️💕🇨🇦

[@pattyloubryant2840]

Always good. Hello Apollo. Two things. I have hooks on the outside of my closet doors and I hang items that I want to wear to prompt thought and creativity. Also hang items like evening wear as art! Don’t get to wear them enough (not enough fancy events in my life lol) but love seeing them. (Live alone so it works for me). Thanks for great insight

[@katem3961]

I really like the idea of hanging my clothes by length rather than colour, as I do now. I have a spare bedroom as my clothing/shoe room where I can see everything all year round. However, I have one large clothing rack that holds my current season pieces. Except we're in winter in Australia, so I keep my cardigans and jumpers in a separate area and often don't get nearly enough wear from these items simply because I forget I have them. Thank you Alyssa, this was extremely helpful ❤

[@dawnkeckley7502]

I have such a small closet, but I think I’m going to box up my cold season clothes and store in my garage because you’re right - it’s hard to find what you want to wear when the closet is cramped. Admittedly I do have a lot of clothes (nearly all are bought used). Your channel has helped me style them! I wear dresses almost exclusively in the summer because I sweat too much around the front of my shorts in the summer.

[@aliblue3605]

Store under bed, another closet etc. NOT THE GARAGE! The garage isn’t as temperature controlled as the house. Other than that switching clothes out is what I do too.

[@JBUHJBUH]

Slipshorts in summer have been such a game changer for me - I use cotton ones but I know there are specifically cooling ones available from Thigh Society etc. No more swamp butt or chub rub in the summer months! Hope that helps!

[@teresajazey524]

I put all my winter clothes in those flat tough totes under my bed. Then I the fall I switch the winter and summer clothes around. It makes a huge difference! Just remember that you need to find those clothes before you start thinking you need to fall shop!!

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

Wow 😮 these are great tips! Thanks everyone ❤

[@gailwilliams5278]

Great ideas and tips, as always. But I kept trying to reach through the monitor screen to button one more button on your shirt!

[@demarisb4680]

Thank you for this. I always look forward to Sundays to see your smiling face and voice of reason. You’ve helped me more than you know.

[@brontec9769]

I designed my wardrobe to suit my capsule wardrobe :) I can't stand sliding doors and too many large shelves, because I lose sight of what I have if it is all in one big cavity. I chose an ikea pax system with doors. Love it.

[@Katuchis]

I love how authentic you are, Alyssa! Your honesty makes you so relatable. Thank you! ❤

[@tonihudson1511]

Good reminder. I also have a rack right outside my closet to pre-select outfits so morning rush is less hectic. I only wish jeans and a button down would work in Virginia's weather.

[@BeauOnTheGo_DC]

Here in DC, I switch to linen button-front and linen pants - the humid version of jeans and button-downs. On the worst days (like right now 😅), linen dresses for the win.

[@tonihudson1511]

@@BeauOnTheGo_DC Agreed!

[@rosemarym2012]

Since following you I have learnt to add a capsule element to my switch over. This means that some items for the season remain packed away but can come out in a future season depending on what plan I have each season. It makes my closet less cluttered and feels like I have new clothes each season.

[@sonnychazz]

Without a doubt the biggest thing that has improved my wardrobe organisation was investing in velvet hangers for tops/dresses & wooden-clip hangers for trousers/skirts. They're the only hangers I use now & it has just elevated my wardrobe experience. I know it might seem trivial but the uniformity with hangers just means everything is neat and evenly distributed within the space. I take great care with all my items & getting dressed is one of my favourite parts of my day. I find the creative aspect so enjoyable & my outfit really sets the tone for my day as it channels my energy. I love looking at my closet space.

[@JBUHJBUH]

Same, although I have velvet clip hangers too lol. They're useful for hanging too-long dresses in a short space (like Alyssa's) - you just pop the dress over the usual 'shoulders' part of the hanger & then clip the hems up on the bar/ rod part of the hanger.

[@susanhamilton626]

This is perfectly timed and so valuable! I’ve just retired from teaching (think pencil skirts, tailored separates and high heels) and I’m in the process of curating an intentional wardrobe that fits my new lifestyle. It’s really a big deal for me because I have a relationship with my clothes as they very much impact my day. I also know that I have given into liking the idea of certain pieces more than actually using them and I don’t want to make that mistake again. Thanks for the help!

[@valerina01]

I discovered your channel recently and it has prompted me to start going through my closet with a new eye. I’ve rediscovered so many gems! 😊 I do a seasonal switch too. Good time to reevaluate each piece. I love your style 🤩

[@neza8628]

You are one of my favourite mindful fashion influencers. I really enjoy your content, it never gets old. We are going on vacation on Prvić island in a week, still cannot beleive that I've bumped into you there a few years back🙊 I was shocked, I mean what are the chances to meet you, on a tiny island in Croatia😃 Enjoy your summer to the max.

[@lizbendor-samuel5037]

Thank you so much for summer clothes memory jog 😊

[@lorrainekemp2909]

This is a tap on the shoulder for me. Decided I was not going to buy anything from the shops and not throw out until I figure out what my body is doing. Still grieving over the yummy jumpers I left in the store sale. Very traumatic. Closet is a mess. Compromise is to take out everything that does not fit right now - so as you say, what I have left is manageable. Thankyou. A timely reminder. Chic Apollo sighting.

[@minervacuervo4662]

My tiny closet is divided between work and leisure clothes. Special occasion outfits and bulky jackets are in storage in another room. I usually just switch the actual hangers with the clothes on, the hot weather blouses go out in summer, the others go back to storage.

[@dianecyment1715]

I agree that having the same hangers allows you to see your clothes better. I organize my closet by color palette, then I hang them from sleeveless to long sleeve tops. You may want to consider a sock organizer. I have two and it makes it so much easier to grab the sock that you need. Greatt video, Alyssa. You help remind us to utilize what we have rather than shopping new (even though I still add new items - I'm working on it though).

[@melindaferreira9879]

Yep! I am constantly editing my clothes, etc. i have a tiny closet so i have to be super intentional w my choices. You have helped me tremendously in this area and I love seeing all my clothes easily and I like my style choices more.

[@mariaangelesf.s.9849]

In Andalucía the warm weather has been coming back and forth all month. I also did reset my wardrobe this week 😎

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

This is very timely for me. Our weather was very Spring literally until the first day of Summer and it shot up past 80 to 90. I was not ready so I will do my summer edit for myself and my daughter. Thanks for the tips. Very practical ❤

[@hillerycrawford1062]

Ive never thought to organize my sections (toos, long bottoms, dresses) by fabric weight or texture. I might try that.

[@user-lh9ki4sz3u]

This was very helpful for me. I have so much trouble with the change over ,seasonal 'thing'! Greetings to Apollo! So cute!

[@CEMOFIT]

Super helpful. I am doing this today so this was timely. Consideration for you - there looks to be room to hang your shorts next to your mini skirts and those shorter bottoms all in one place... Really appreciate the tip to define what you want to focus on wardrobe-wise today (example you gave: cover your legs). Again, so helpful. Thank you!

[@kathysteele3071]

I need to do this! My walk in closet allows me to keep everything in one place BUT I have a section that houses my current season and it works! I have too many clothes so I have blavk hangers (a limited number) for my current season and beige for non seasonal. It really helps me decide if Zi need to keep something

[@JBUHJBUH]

I think even if you keep it all in one place, you can still switch the in-season items to the section that's easiest to reach for you. For example, I've moved my winter cubbies/ baskets to the shelves that are either too high up to see (at a glance) or lower down (so I'd need to crouch to get to them). You can do the same with your rods - hang up whatever is on-season on the spacious middle rods & then hang all the off-season dresses etc in those harder to reach rods that are behind a door or finicky mirrors etc lol (we all have them lol, unless your closet is magically customised to avoid the common blind spots). Edit: TL;DR: We tend to reach for our clothes more (literally) when it's less effort to do so!

[@kathysteele3071]

That’s what I do, too. My walk in Is a previous small bedroom with 2 dressers and lots of room. However, I need to clear out and continue to find better spaces for things

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@kathysteele3071 I really like this idea of yours to use two colours of hangers. It may be an easier task for our brains to choose an outfit when we mostly aren't considering the pieces on beige hangers. Thank you 😊

[@charlotteeshun1393]

Very satisfying. Lovely Ootd ♥️ 😍

[@maryklatka5989]

Love this! Always inspiring!

[@jbar234]

Always appreciate your practical advice! Nice video Alyssa! ❤

[@carmenlheureux5435]

I envy your big closet, you are right to use it the best way possible.

[@kerryannbouska2523]

Great video! I am inspired as I do this very task today. I also find it helpful to have clothes ironed so they are chosen to wear more often.

[@dorotaazzopardi8718]

Good content as usual- I moved my summer options to the closet that’s easy to access- what a difference 😊 thank you!

[@TheZeyre]

Always fun to see how organized you are. Gives one hope…❤🎉

[@ericag2233]

Excellent video. I am inspired to go edit my closet right now. Thanks.

[@verenaheckmann5723]

Thank you so much, Alyssa❤. Not only loving your inspirations but also your calm and wonderful voice....sooo nice❤

[@nehagoswami2019]

Sooo!! Happy to see this video bcs I just did my closest last week and I did exactly the way u r describing, which makes me happy that I pay attention to u and your videos💕. Thank u always😊.

[@kinshasav]

It's nice to see Apollo! Hi Beautiful!

[@starlingmom]

I need to do this. My closet is a disaster. My hubs keeps threatening to go in there and start shoveling it out.

[@gailwilliams5278]

Good motivation to get it done before he does’

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@starlingmom You know, that could even work out! 😉 Because your husband probably didn't choose your clothes, and doesn't have the same emotional investment as yourself, he might be able to open the batting with some round one closet sorting for you. Emphasis on the word 'SORT'! not bin. Do you have one section that's the most problem? eg shoes, purses, jeans, blazers etc. Maybe get him to start with just one category. Eg he could pull all your jeans out, sort them from light to dark, and leave them on a spare bed or table for you to try on later.

[@lisamcallister6534]

My least favorite task is the seasonal switch over. Ugh. I miss things that need to go into the anti- moth area. But right now we're not wearing much...yesterday was 99, it's skimpy T's and shorts.

[@mmacas7411]

I needed this 😅

[@Ellonor]

Always love your videos! I am a bit stuck/confused on what I want with my style/clothes at the moment. I've got a color analyses done recently but not that much fits the season I am. I know it's not a law and you still should wear what you want.

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@Ellonor Did you see Alyssa's seasonal trend video for Spring-Summer 2024 ? Where she picks out ten or so key trends she likes and checks if she has any pieces to style those kind of looks. She says it inspires her creativity, and helps identify any gaps that she may shop to fill.

[@user-im3tk9ri7e]

Thank you for this simple advice, Alyssa. I used it. One closet looks better already and another is waiting for its turn. Now for an off-topic question... What do you know about a San Francisco brand named Quince? Any advice there?

[@shaleighreynolds3494]

I need to switch over….i keep stalling…it’s been 3 weeks🤷‍♀️😩

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@shaleighreynolds3494 Maybe just tell yourself "I'll do the real heavy outerwear and accessories today, and leave it at that". And see if 'breaking up the task' helps you get the ball rolling. Hopefully you find some fun pieces to style this season that you'd forgotten about!

[@shaleighreynolds3494]

@@comealongcomealong4480 I wish my brain would allow me to do it like that!! But I got it done today. I just needed a few hours when I knew no one or thing(dogs) were going to want me!!

[@lizbendor-samuel5037]

AlyssaWhat is the metal square in your bra area? Thank you

[@mmaolisae3675]

Thanks for this video. I recently reorganized my closest too. It's been helpful to have my most reached for items and less worn items in the center, just like you talked about. I really like your reminder to be okay with an imperfect closet - definitely needed to hear that. 🤎
