Spring is almost here—March 20, to be exact—making it the perfect time for a closet refresh. With a few simple steps, you can get your wardrobe spring-ready in no time. And trust us, this won’t feel like a chore—you might even enjoy it! Let’s dive in.
STEP 1: CLEAR OUT THE HEAVY STUFF
If you’re in LA like us, that means removing heavy sweaters, long coats, puffers, warm boots, and gloves from your closet.
STEP 2: ASSESS & EDIT
Give each winter piece a good once-over:
- Is it in good shape?
- Does it need cleaning or repair?
- Have you worn it in the past year?
- Does it still fit—and still feel like you?
If something no longer serves you, consider donating it (a great test: Would I give this to a friend?) or recycle responsibly through a program like Ridwell. Levi’s and Madewell will accept any type of jeans, and H&M will accept all clothing and textiles for reuse or recycling.
STEP 3: STORE IT SMARTLY
Now, tuck away your winter wear. If you have extra space, a guest room closet is ideal. Otherwise, get creative: under-bed storage, high shelves in a kid’s closet (do they really need all that space?), or stylish storage solutions can come in handy.
We love:
- Linen Underbed Baskets from Pottery Barn (various sizes)
- Zippered Storage Bags from The Container Store (great for shelves)
- Clear PEVA Storage Chests from The Container Store (perfect for those who like to see what they’ve stored)
STEP 4: EDIT YOUR SPRING WARDROBE
Now that your spring clothes are front and center, take a quick scan. If there’s anything you don’t love or haven’t worn, donate or recycle it.
STEP 5: STYLE YOUR SPACE
Now for the fun part! Turn your closet into a boutique-worthy space, using these simple tricks:
- Group like with like—hang pants together, store sweaters on the same shelf.
- Organize by color for that high-end boutique feel, going from dark to light in an ombré effect.
- Matching hangers instantly create a sleek, cohesive look. We love The Container Store’s slim velvet hangers (variety of colors) and slim wooden hangers for a chic touch.
