As the season changes and hotter weather arrives, it’s time to re-evaluate your wardrobe habits and swap out your winter clothes for lighter, breezier options.
Spring cleaning is a great space-clearing practice for those who are tight on room, but it can also be brilliant for keeping your closet sustainable and your mind light. Here are three key reasons you should consider re-organising and decluttering your wardrobe this May:
1. To maximise your closet space.
Sort through your clothes and be honest with yourself about when you’ll next be wearing your winter pieces.
Will you really be wearing that fur coat or festive dress this summer? Is it worth keeping it in your cupboard all summer, taking up space and potentially becoming damaged because of the high temperature and humidity? You could consider putting your special pieces into PAKT’s specialised humidity-controlled storage facility to ensure they aren’t wasting away and taking up valuable wardrobe space that could be used for your summer attire.
2. To help the environment.
Taking care of your clothes is good for the environment. Ensuring they are stored and hung correctly, with the correct temperature and humidity conditions, and away from direct sunlight, will improve their longevity. Being realistic with yourself about what you actually wear, and selling second-hand what you don’t, prevents perfectly good clothes from ending up in a landfill.
Or, let PAKT do the work – we’ll keep your items in perfect condition and even photograph and sell them on your behalf!
3. To soothe your mind.
A cluttered wardrobe can contribute to a cluttered, stressed-out mind. Psychological studies have shown that mess and disorder limit our ability to focus, can reduce our working memory, and correlates to an increased chance of developing mental health conditions. Keeping our spaces clear makes us more productive, more focused, and makes us generally happier people!
What better time is there than spring, the season of renewal and replenishment, for re-assessing your closet and deciding what really belongs in it right now? Declutter your wardrobe and store your pieces with PAKT – they’re safe with us, we promise.
