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.
