How to Organize a Man's Closet

Do you get that fear of dread every morning when you know you have to open your wardrobe and pick an outfit for work or for the weekend? Can you find the clothes when you want them?It is not easy to be clutter free and organized all the time in your wardrobe. Using these 5 tricks you can get an organized, stress free wardrobe that you are happy to open every day.Start following these commandments and then over time (say a month) you will start seeing you are more organized:

1. Don’t Overcrowd

Stow seasonal items in a separate closet or box (I recommend the Samla box from Ikea).

2. Keep your Suit Bagged

Your suit came in a bag for a reason. Use it to protect your suit from insects, fading, dust and sand.

3. Fold Knitwear

Fold and keep them on a shelf instead of hanging them to preventing stretching out of shape. For cashmere, store them in an airtight box when not in use.

4. Don’t Use the Wire Hangers

As soon as you get your dry cleaned items, hang them on proper hangers (see below diagram).

5. Savile Row Fold your Trousers

Use the Savile Row fold to prevent from your suit trousers from sliding off hangers.

What do you do to keep organized in your wardrobe? I would love to hear your tips!
