35 tips on how to organize your wardrobe in a practical way
We chatted with personal organizer to share amazing tips on how you can keep your wardrobe well-organized.
1. Where to start organizing?
According to Leide, the first step of any organization is screening. For her, this step helps to understand what we want to remain and what should be removed.
2. If the wardrobe is too small?
To help you get started with this sorting, sort your items into categories: shorts, blouses, pants, socks, underwear, etc. Make a choice of what you will keep, because the main point in a small wardrobe is to have few pieces.
3. Think about visualizing things
It is important that you value the visualization of the items. Storage needs to be practical, making it easy for you to find what you need without wasting too much time.
4. Double wardrobe
For the couple’s wardrobe, the most important thing is to maintain individuality. Everyone should have their own space to organize their belongings.
5. Children’s wardrobe
According to Leide, children’s closets vary a lot according to the routine of the house and the age of the children. However, it is important that children from 2 to 5 years old have a certain autonomy to help with the cleaning, paying attention to the way they like and feel better.
6. Separate children’s clothes
The personal organizer usually separates the clothes for going out from the clothes for staying at home, in addition to leaving the objects that are used most often at an accessible height for the little ones.
7. Separate the clothes clearly
To make it easier for the little ones, separate the clothes in a clear and enlightening way. Make divisions that are easy to understand. Drawers are great allies.

Is it correct to sort by color? By size? By category? Leide explains that this arrangement is something very personal. You need to think about what is best for you with the intention of keeping tidy.
13. Arrangement by color
Leide explains that sorting by color is very useful, as it is visually easier. However, she reinforces that, for her, the most efficient method is separation by category. Shorts, blouses, pants etc. Then, only later, you separate by color if you prefer.
