Late summer is the perfect time to reset your wardrobe—not a full overhaul, just a thoughtful refresh. Transitioning your closet from warm weather to cooler temps can feel surprisingly satisfying (and way less overwhelming than spring cleaning). This summer-to-fall closet reset focuses on six easy steps to help you edit, rotate, and store your wardrobe with intention—and a little style, too.
How to Prep Your Closet for a Summer-to-Fall Reset
Step 1: Edit What You Didn’t Wear
As you review your summer pieces, ask: Did I wear this? Would I wear it again next year? These slim, velvety hangers help you keep only what you love—and make room for what’s next.
Step 2: Store Summer Staples in Style
Plastic Woven Storage Bins with Lids
Pack away swimsuits, cover-ups, and sandals you won’t reach for until next year. These breathable bins look tidy on a shelf or under the bed and help keep things dust-free.
Step 3: Refresh With Natural Scents
Cedar naturally deters moths and keeps your closet smelling fresh. Tuck a few blocks into your storage bins or hang them on hangers for seasonal protection that feels like a spa day for your sweaters.
Step 4: Rotate in Fall-Friendly Pieces
StorageWorks Canvas Closet Organizer
Bring in early fall items like lightweight knits, neutral boots, and layering jackets. Use a hanging organizer to divide categories and keep things visible (and wearable) as the weather shifts.
Step 5: Give Your Drawers a Quick Reset
mDesign Adjustable Drawer Dividers
Tidying your underwear, sock, and t-shirt drawers gives you a little boost every time you open them. These adjustable dividers help keep everything in place—even as your wardrobe shifts.
Step 6: Add a Touch of Calm
Lavender Sachets for Closets and Drawers
Closets can be chaotic—or calming. A few sachets tucked into drawers or storage bins add a soothing scent and help make the space feel clean and intentional.

Was trying to shop for the woven plastic boxes and the cedar blocks, but unable to bring them up on the site. While sure I can find cedar, have no idea where can get the woven storage boxes.
