Switch out the Summer Clothes Wardrobe

Unless you’re heading away for the winter sun in a warmer climate, it’s best to organise your wardrobe for this coming winter.

In this guide, we’ll discuss the best options for switching out summer clothes for winter-friendly clothes in your wardrobe.

Let’s begin!

Ideas to Re-organise Your Clothing

Re-organising your wardrobe(s) for the winter doesn’t mean throwing clothes out, but at the very least re-arranging your wardrobe.

Beyond that, switching out a summer clothes wardrobe may mean simply removing the clothes stored there or actually replacing the wardrobe itself.

Storing Away Your Summer Clothes

To start with, you’ll want to store away your summer clothes in a suitable, accessible, and easy-to-remember location.

For example, you could store summer clothes in a box or several boxes labelled as ‘Summer Clothes’. These boxes could then be placed in the attic, a spare room, another wardrobe, or elsewhere. Again, though, just make sure that you remember where you’ve kept it.

Getting Winter Ready

By following the above logic all year round, you may already have plenty of winter clothes stored away, ready to be added back to wardrobes ahead of the winter.

In addition, you may want to purchase new winter clothes (e.g., warm gloves, thick jackets, thick socks, etc.).

The best places to get winter clothes include clothing stores (often with in-person and online shopping available), charity shops, and online-only clothing stores.

If you’re planning to buy a bulk of new winter clothes, here are some key points to take into consideration:

Your budget and where it is best to buy from
Checking out whether there are any deals on or any coming up soon
Whether you are likely to continue using the clothes you have in mind to purchase or if you may end up making an impulse buy
How ethical the stores/companies are that you want to buy from and whether they and their clothing items align with your values
Re-Considering Your Wardrobe(s)
You may also want to think about opting for a brand-new wardrobe, especially if your current one is looking worn down

If you decide to have a new wardrobe installed, it’s best to get a quote from three professionals/companies so you can weigh up several options.

You’ll want to compare each the pricing, experience, and online reviews/ratings (if available) of each contractor or/and company before making a decision. Also, discuss having your existing wardrobe removed (and how this would affect the price), as well as having said wardrobe removed.

Bespoke Wardrobes

When it comes to switching out a summer clothes wardrobe, you may literally want to have your wardrobe physically replaced with another.

One popular option includes a Bespoke wardrobe. These are tailor-made to meet the buyers’ specific needs.

This could mean having a wardrobe designed so that it fits as smoothly and smartly as possible into a bedroom (e.g., in a way that uses the space efficiently). Another advantage of having a Bespoke wardrobe installed is the chance to opt for a neat design that matches your taste.

Walk-in Wardrobes

Another type of wardrobe you may want to consider is that of a walk-in wardrobe. Walk-in wardrobes (a.k.a. walk-in closets) are large enough that you can walk into them. Often, walk-in wardrobes resemble small rooms with open spaces featuring clothes surrounding you as you walk in.
