Packing away one season's clothes and shaking out the wardrobe you'll be wearing for the next few months is a twice-yearly ritual. But before you start planning outfits, take the opportunity to deep clean your closets for a fresh start to the season.
CLEAR OUT YOUR WARDROBE
Start by emptying your wardrobe or drawers completely, organising items into piles as you go. Decide what to return to your cupboards now, what can be stored away until next season, and what you can give away, sell or discard. Clean and repair items before packing them away, so you're not storing up frustrations for when you want to wear them again.
