Controversial organizing tip for clothes 👚✨

I might get in trouble for this one 😅

Organizing by color has never been for me. It might work great for others, but personally it makes it harder for me to find what I need. 😅

I’d much rather organize my shirts by sleeve length here’s why:

✨1. When I go into my closet I’m usually looking for what I need to wear for the weather or time of year. When I know where short sleeve, long sleeve, and sweaters are it makes a world of difference when getting ready. 💁‍♀️

✨2. When colored items are placed together they can easily become lost. Because you can’t see every individual shirt when it’s just a mesh of the same color! 👚

✨3. When shirts are staggered in their colors and sorted by sleeve length, I can just take a Quick Look into my closet to find exactly the shirt I’m looking for.

... Read moreWhen it comes to organizing clothes, many assume sorting by color is the best approach. However, this method can lead to frustration as individual items may get lost in a sea of similar hues. By switching to a system based on sleeve length, you can enhance your wardrobe accessibility. Imagine reaching into your closet and instantly knowing where to find your short sleeves, long sleeves, or sweaters, depending on the season. This method not only saves time but also helps you make outfits based on the current weather. Additionally, this approach minimizes clutter, making it easier to maintain an orderly space. Instead of sifting through numerous colored shirts, staggering your clothes by sleeve length allows for a quick visual check of your available options. You can even incorporate seasonal changes by adding or removing items according to the time of year. Ultimately, organizing your closet doesn't have to follow conventional rules—experimenting with different methods could yield a system that works best for you!

all my long sleeves are on one side of my closet, and short sleeves on other and yes they're organized by color.
