Wardrobe Reset Challenge:
Tips for getting organised
Click through your checklist here to help you clear the noise, rediscover what you love, and create a space that actually works for you. Think of it as a friendly nudge to make getting dressed easier, faster, and a whole lot more fun.
This isn’t about chasing perfection or buying a whole new wardrobe - it’s about making the most of what you already own, one small step at a time.
Use the checklist to cut clutter, create space, and bring a little calm back to your daily routine.
-
Seasonal switch: remove anything not relevant to the current season and store it elsewhere.
90/90 Rule: if you haven’t worn it in the last 90 days and won’t in the next 90, it’s time to let it go.
One-minute test: if deciding to keep something takes longer than a minute, put it aside for later.
Duplicate check: keep only the best of any category (e.g., jeans, blazers, striped tees).
Repair pile: create a dedicated spot for items that need mending or cleaning, and schedule time to fix them.
“Maybe” pile: set aside pieces you’re unsure about and revisit later.
-
Like with like: group similar items (all dresses together, all jackets together).
Colour order: arrange by colour or light-to-dark for calm and easy scanning.
Prime placement: everyday wear at eye level, occasion/seldom-used pieces in less accessible spots.
Zone declutter: set a timer for 30 minutes and tackle just one section (shoes, scarves, coats).
Start With Enough: set realistic limits (e.g., max 6 coats, 8 sweaters) to create boundaries.
80/20 method: fill only 80% of your wardrobe to leave breathing room.
Reverse-psychology space: leave small gaps between items for a cleaner look.
-
Hanger trick: turn all hangers backwards; flip when worn. After a month, see what’s still unworn.
Drawer vs hanger audit: do you have more drawers or rails? Are you using each in the best way?
Unused wardrobes: shift rarely worn items to another cupboard to reduce visual clutter.
Drawer organisers: use boxes, baskets, or dividers to separate smaller items.
Vertical folding: fold tees, knits, jeans upright “file style” for visibility.
Shelf dividers: prevent piles from collapsing.
Outfit rail/hook: keep tomorrow’s outfit ready on a separate hook.
Uniform hangers: matching slim hangers save space and create a tidy look.
-
Outfit diary: take quick photos for two weeks to track what you actually wear.
30-day rule: check what’s still unworn after a month of effort. Why? Wrong season, fit, or style?
One in, one out: for every new item, remove one old item.
Mini-sessions: work in short bursts regularly instead of marathon declutter days.
Your World Method: identify your “everyday favourites” and build around them, let the rest go.
-
Accessory check: sort scarves, belts, jewellery with hooks, trays, or small boxes.
Shoes: keep off the floor where possible; use racks or clear boxes.
Bags: stuff with tissue to hold shape; rotate display or storage by season.
Fragrance & feel: add cedar blocks, lavender sachets, or a favourite scent for freshness and to deter moths.
-
Low-quality or mismatched storage containers.
“Catch-all” trays or baskets that become clutter dumps.
No zoning - items scattered instead of grouped.
Letting clutter migrate to other rooms instead of setting boundaries.
Appreciate the advice but not sure where to start? That’s where I come in.
