Do you put your summer clothes away?

[pinkfrocks]

I never have as so much of what I wear is all year round BUT wardrobe space is now so tight that I might fold my summer dresses and trousers and put on a shelf.

What do you do and when?

I do as others have said and put anything obviously summery away around about now (eg shorts, sandals) and get out wintery things like jumper dresses, cosy pjs and boots. I do have a lot that goes across all seasons as well though - things like vests are good for layering. What I'm not wearing goes in a storage box on top of the wardrobe so it's easily accessible which is a good thing with our bonkers weather - I've already had to get so few things back out as it's been so nice this week!

I wear dresses that are suitable for all year round. I just put thicker cardis on or jackets on. I don't really feel the cold so don't bother with winter woolies

I move things around a bit in my wardrobe, but not yet as still wearing a mixture .
Like above I have year round skirts and two dresses that will soon be worn with tights and boots.
I have a holiday clothes drawer for my lone pair of shorts/swimwear etc and a separate one for gloves/scarves/hats.
I've just cleared out a bagful of stuff that don't cut the mustard anymore too, so lots of space.

Kind of.

Really summery stuff like maxi dresses, sandals and holiday type clothes go in bags under my bed.

I don't have loads though. Majority of the year I'm a jeans and shirt/top kind of person.

I put summer stuff that can't really be worn in winter in my cupboard in the loft.
The loft is fitted out as a proper room with cupboards and carpets and stuff so there isn't a problem with damp or anything.

yes I put the whole season of clothes in a suitcase in the garage.

No, this is the first year I'm not putting things away for the season. It'll just encourage me to buy more clothes when I see an empty space.

Not really. I wear a lot of stuff year round layered up with cardigans. There are a few things that are for holidays only - beach cover ups, flip flops etc and they go in a holdall once we are back.

Woohoo I am doing this today. Taking out all my summer stuff and packing away all the bulky winter stuff.

I definitely don't have enough space in my wardrobe for both seasons clothes. I really don't think that I have that much, but I suppose I do. But there is such a vast temperature change for us between the two seasons, so I would never wear winter clothes during summer months. Its just that the winter clothes are so bulky, they take up a lot of space.

And I cant wait to get rid off all those winter clothes they depress me, I am most definitely not a winter person!

Clothes will be packed into vacuum seal bag and placed in top cupboard, along with boots and winter shoes. Hurrah to seeing sandals again.

pink My loft is very dry, I've never had a damp problem - it's my main storage area!

Yes. I have a suitcase which is currently packed with big jumpers and long sleeved tshirts.

I am still in the summer clothes - and hopefully will be for the next week or three -but will have a swap around then.

I don't like to have too many items to choose from - and tend to do a big cull each time I swap stuff. Charity shop bags will be full :)

Everything lives in wardrobes and draws all year, but what's at the front, easiest bit of wardrobe to get in changes.

Summer tops and cropped trousers get stuck two to a hanger and more Tshirts get stuffed in the draw.

Sandals are sent to outer darkness, ie in a box under our big old chest of draws.

Just out of interest, how much wardrobe space do you all have?

Ours is built in. Modern house, hopeless no-storage.

We share it. I have one hanging rail that is about 6 feet long ( side to side) and 2 shelves above. I hang all trousers- including a couple of pairs of good wool ones, dresses, skirts and knitwear. I also have 3 drawers in a small chest of drawers- one is full of undies and the other is for knitwear although I also hand knitwear in the wardrobe.

I have a couple of coats, fleeces and waterproofs in the spare bedroom wardrobe, but still have 2 good coats in my main wardrobe.

My house is modern too but has masses of storage.
I have a wardrobe just for coats/jackets, boots shoes and jeans.
Then another wardrobe which has all my other clothes in. Then I have 1 big chest of drawers and 1 small. That's just me DH has his own wardrobe and 2 sets of drawers.

I have a wardobe with a shelf at the top for jumpers, then a rail for dresses, skirts & tops, and a shelf underneath for jeans and t-shirts. Socks and undies are in a chest of drawers. Wardrobe is about 3 feet wide.

I literally have no space left: I have to leave clothes in suitcases and boxes, and rotate for season. It's time for another cull.

We don't put stuff away. I only manage to do a proper wardrobe sort out every few years (definitely need to do one soon), I'd never be organised to do it every season.

We have a lot of wardrobe space - equivalent to about 7 wardrobe doors wide. We use it for all storage though, so there are also random bits in there - papers, present stash, computer stuff.

fox is all that storage in 1 room or do you spread around the house?

That's in our bedroom. My DD has a triple wardrobe and 2 sets of drawers. DS has walk in wardrobe plus sets of 2 drawers, a bit wasted on him but his room is the smallest. I hate clutter and big rooms with storage was one of the (many)reasons we moved tbh.

you're lucky. we live in shoe box in the SE where anything with any space is £2m!!!

Yup I'm in London. The place looks like an ikea storage solutions layout!!

I have two wardrobes so I switch them around so current season is in the wardrobes that's most accessible

Yes go in the loft changeover oct and apr school hols

Yes, there is not enough space in my wardrobe/drawers otherwise. I am also in London. I would love a walk-in wardrobe!

I do a changeover for DD from winter to summer, folding the out of season clothes and putting them on a top shelf.

I have a dressing room with shelves and lots of hanging space and I do move the current season day wear (spring/summer/autumn/winter) to the front, because the back of my dressing room always seems to get filled up with bags of miscellaneous stuff I trip over!
