Do you pack away your summer/winter clothes?

[purplepeony]

I never have simply becasue I don't have anywhere to pack them away to- though I might use a box under the bed if I can get rid of some of DH's stuff in it.

However, I find that I wear 75% of my clothes all year round- it's called layering.

The only things I'd pack away would be very summer Ts,a few cardis that are summer wear, and a couple of skirts/dresses.

I too have nowhere to put them really.
Like you I wear most things all year round, except for winter black trousers/linen trousers. They go in a zippy bag thing in the loft.
I am planning a ruthless declutter this week, and a serious assessment of my clothes.

I'm going to put them in the DDs wardrobe.
Things like dresses etc.
Vests, t shirts get worn all year round.

Am having a bit of a moth problem though, lots of stuff ruined this year.

yes, i do.

chunky jumpers, polo necks and wool skirts all packed away. soon all my linen trousers and tshirt tops will go - can't do tshirt tops in winter, always too cold!

lots of things stay all year round - thin cardis, work trousers, shirts, jeans...

Me too morag- bloody moths.
I have bought a load of the little orange balls to put in drawers- but I am convinced some of the holes are originally made in the shops, and once garments are washed once, the hole appears.
Happened with "designer" tops eg Hollister, Superdry.

No.I have one wardrobe and that is where all my clothes live all year round.

Mine go on the loft - but just obvious things like shorts, beach dresses, linen trousers, summery skirts.
Likewise in summer I put away the chunky cardis, thick skirts and trousers.
Light cardis, blouses and t-shirts are all-round.

I pack away my spring/summer clothes. I use vacu-pack type bags (Lakeland) so they take up very little storage room.

I need to be more ruthless this year, however. I tend to keep out vest tops and tees for layering but hardly ever wear them. The more clothes I have to choose from, the harder the "what to wear" question is to answer!

I wear everything nearly all year!Any worn out summer stuff goes to the charity shop but I wear sleeveless etc with cardigans and dresses with footless tights and jumpers.You are all so organised!

I think you're the organised one if your clothes are so interchangeable and cool you can wear them any time.

I'm guessing you don't impulse-buy tat bargains for your holidays only to find you feel ridiculous wearing them in the real world?

No I am a bit more hit and miss than that although post 40 have def stopped the impulse buying

There's very few things that I don't wear all year round, and they're mainly Winter things rather than summer things (jumpers and long sleeved t-shirts that I wear under short sleeved things when it's colder) I have a 'Winter' shelf, but that's the extent of it!

Yes I do.

I fold all the clothes up neatly and put them flat in a suit carrier and then lay it on the top shelf in the wardrobe.

Yes I do. I put the out of season stuff in a suitcase and put it in the attic.

I've got a small wardrobe in my bedroom so it gets cluttered.

Its not a lot of stuff (sandals, summer dresses, linen trousers from summer and woollen jumpers, winter boots and coats from winter) but enough to make a difference

Yes I do... but not until the end of September. I have a row of white Ikea boxes that sit along the top of my wardrobes, labeled with vaguely what is in them... shoes, casual tops, smart tops, dresses, etc.

I have a walk-in wardrobe (that could be a dressing room if I got organised...) that I use to store clothes that aren't in use. That way my usual cupboard isn't too full. I do a bit of swapping around in September, once everyone is back at school.

mine are all waiting to go up the loft when dh comes home from Shresbury folk festival.I kept a few aside thank goodness as it is gorgeous today.I started Autumnifying my living room and kitchen /diner yesterday changing cushion s accessories etc. It looks totally different and has a much more cosy feel

God No, If I packed away even half my clothes, I'd have nothing to wear. Although I do keep my very best clothes seperately. I have some very nice suits,coats, dresses etc, that I have had and will have until hell freezes. The quality is good and I hold on to them for weddings etc, because I don't like shopping.

Ooh, I have just read the threads again, suitcase in the loft! Horror upon horrors, can't imagine how much washing this creates when it's retrieved. Perhaps I am just lazy.

Yes, I put them in a suitcase under the bed - I like it as it makes me tidy my wardrobe, throw out things I haven't worn and I feel like I have 'new' clothes when the season changes!

Most of my stuff goes through the year - skirts worn with flipflops in the summer are worn with tights and boots in the winter. Tops have a cardi thrown over etc.

Very obviously summer stuff like linen just goes to the back of the wardrobe.

Autumndew am very interested in your changing things in home for seasons - do tell more please!

Yes: summer dresses and light floaty things and vest tops get put away in the winter, big bulky jumpers and all the crushed velvet gets put away in the summer. I have a big trunk (dating back to student days) and shove out-of-season stuff in there, changing over at the end of October and the end of April every year, but I also have quite a lot of things (jeans, lightweight jumpers, shirts) that go all year round, partly in case of unseasonably warm/cold weather.
