It’s that time of the year. Shorter days ahead, longer moments indoors, or the reverse (if summer is coming)!

Twice a year, we recommend a seasonal wardrobe swap. Once in the Fall (October or November) and again in the Spring (April). It’s more than just a routine, it’s the opportunity to reset your space and mindset. A chance to declutter, refresh, and create room for what truly serves you.

Here’s how you can approach this bi-annual ritual following those three guiding keywords:

Care

Intention

Ease

Identify your Storage Space First

What space can you use to store the other season items? Choose shelves or containers that fit in the space! Make sure you visualise your plan before start moving items. And it doesn’t have to be fancy, maybe you’re simply using one area of your existing wardobe. 

Be sure to include all your accessories and shoes, they are part of your closet.

Reflect & Review

Your season in review: start by taking a moment to evaluate your current wardrobe. Did you wear everything in the past 6 months? If not, why? If an item didn’t serve you this season, it likely won’t next year either. You might consider decluttering it now.

Before storing your summer/winter clothes away, put aside what needs to be cleaned or repaired. When you unpack them next year, you’ll be grateful for the effort. This is part of showing some ‘CARE’ for yourself and your belongings. Also, it’s wise to keep inter-seasonal items at hand, layering is key for winter! Only pack away items that you know won’t be useful in the next season.

Store & Label

Cool, dry, and sealed containers work best. Delicate pieces? Opt for breathable garment bags and ensure they’re folded or hung properly to avoid damage.

Label your containers clearly. Store what’s out of season accessible but tucked away; higher shelves are perfect as you won’t need to access those for a little while.

Welcome the Season with Intention

Welcome BACK! When unpacking your winter wardrobe, it’s time to reassess. Does everything fit? Does it still align with your style? If you’re unsure about certain items, try using colored stickers or put them away in an in-between box for those you want to reconsider and revisit them in a few weeks.

Mindful Decluttering & Circular Economy

As you declutter, think circular economy. Donate to charity shops, share/lend to friends, or sell items you no longer need. Before buying anything new, make a list and consider purchasing second-hand items that align with your style. Look for eco-conscious fabrics like organic cotton or linen that use less water and resources.

Action Plan: Practical Steps

→ Block some time for it: we recommend half-day (2 to 4 hours depending on the size). Make it an enjoyable task: put your favourite playlist and get into the flow!

→ Equip yourself with:

• • Notepad (digital or pen & paper): jot down anything you need or think about (items you’re missing and you’d like to find, get-to-do items)
  • Cleaning cloth: freshen up your storage space
  • Storage containers: think tote bags, shoe bags, garment boxes, etc.
