Winter/summer wardrobe rotation

14 replies

If you pack your clothes away each season when do you get your spring wardrobe out? Do you bring spring and summer out all in one go? Seems silly to have hot weather stuff out any time soon but feel it's nearly time to get some spring stuff out and pack the winter stuff away....

I pack away big knits at Easter, and replace them with long sleeved tops, and t-shirts that can be worn with cardigans. Lighter knitwear will stay for now, then later I will switch some of it out and bring down summer dresses. I have some things that stay in my wardrobe all the time though, jeans etc. I tend to switch back the same way starting in the October holidays with the big knits coming back like old friends!!

I wait h til the weather improves! Once we get a spare of warmer days I’ll start rotating the winter jackets and chunkier knit. I do bring spring/summer down together but the shorts and summer dresses won’t get touched for a while yet. And I keep my jumpers and waterproof jackets down all year!!

Usually mid to late April and yes all spring and summer comes out together.

It’s an occasion for me. I do the same as Oly4. All the warm weather gear out in April, reunited with dear old friends, coats to the dry cleaners.

I did get caught out once by snow in late April.

I'm always far too early, I get excited and make the switch, which guarantees the weather turns nasty again. I can't help myself!

I have learned a little, I tend to put stuff away in stages now though... so deep winter knits are already in storage, but mid weight jumpers and layers stay out until they seem redundant.

Foolishly I do already have the height-of-summer stuff out for no good reason, I guess ambitiously hoping I can do some clever layering?!

I don't have many clothes at all, so not a problem with space.

I get my spring summer clothes out at Easter and put them away again at Halloween.

I'm thinking I'll make the swap at Easter too! Knowing lay luck it'll the snow as you say!!

Easter swap here for me and then around October half term unless I’ve got a winter sun holiday booked

DaisyDaisyDay · 11/03/2021 23:18

Yes, Easter swap too unless it's been unseasonably warm beforehand and then I have to go rummaging for individual items on a piece by piece basis and get all in a pickle.

No, mine all stays in the same wardrobe as I don't have anywhere else to put out of season clothes. Anyway while we still have a mix of warmer and cooler days I can mix and match winter and summer clothes.

I do enjoy rotating my wardrobe. I feel like I’ve got loads of new clothes all of a sudden!

StCharlotte · 12/03/2021 08:47

I'm fortunate to have masses of wardrobe space but I do have one rail for sleeveless summer tops. I do need to sort it all out though. Maybe this weekend... maybe not
