As summer fades and cooler days settle in, our wardrobes naturally shift. Light sundresses and sandals give way to cozy sweaters and boots, and our closets need to keep pace. Making a few intentional changes now will set you up for a smooth, stress-free season.
Step 1: Rotate and Store Seasonal Items
Begin by pulling summer pieces — linen tops, shorts, swimsuits — and storing them in clearly labeled bins or baskets. Keep them on higher shelves or in less-accessible areas so they’re out of the way but easy to find when warm weather returns.
Step 2: Bring Fall Favorites Front and Center
Move sweaters, cardigans, long-sleeve shirts, and outerwear to your most convenient hanging or shelving space. Boots and closed-toe shoes should be placed at an easy-to-reach height, while scarves and hats can be stored in open bins or drawers for quick access.
Step 3: Reconfigure Your Closet Layout
One of the best parts about our custom closet designs is their flexibility. Adjustable panels, hanging, and shelving mean you can rearrange your space as your needs change. Add more hanging space for coats, lower shelves for heavier shoes, or extra cubbies for folded knitwear. Your Victory Closets organizer isn’t fixed — it moves with your lifestyle.
Step 4: Maintain a Balanced Wardrobe
While swapping for the season, take the opportunity to edit your wardrobe. If an item hasn’t been worn in over a year, consider donating it. This keeps your closet clutter-free and ensures only pieces you love are taking up valuable space.
Step 5: Help Kids Get Organized Too for a Successful Start to School!
It can be difficult to get kids moving and out the door for the start of school. Help them start off on the right foot by making their fall school wardrobe visible and easy to find in their closets. Labeled bins and baskets and planning outfits in advance are great ways to help make mornings go more smoothly. Little ones may need lower hanging rods and shelves to reach clothing, but as they grow, your Victory Closets custom closet system can adapt and reconfigure to meet their changing needs.
A closet that seamlessly changes with the seasons makes life easier — and our custom systems are designed to do just that. With a few smart adjustments, you’ll be ready for everything fall has to offer.
