How To Organize Your Wardrobe

YourColorStyle.com

Copyright 2016 Jennifer Thoden

Step 1: BottomsBottoms in ANY color are OK

Keep what fits and is in good condition

Donate tired, out of date and poorly fitting garments

Pay attention to styles that are flattering for your body type

** Check out the course “How To Dress Your Body Type”


Step 2: Tops In Your Color PaletteGo through your entire wardrobe and pull out all tops that are in your colors. This includes scarves.

Refer to your color fan, digital color palette or color samples

This includes neutrals




Step 3: Tops That May Be SavedGo through your remaining wardrobe and pull out all tops that are in your color wheel (next slide).

Take note if they are too dark or too cool/warm for you based on your color palette. We’re going to try to keep these. The exception are scarves. Scarves, because they are right against your face, should only be in your color palette.



Look at what’s left. These are likely tops in colors that are too muted or too bright for you. Put these in your donate pile.

Too Bright or Too SoftIf the color is not found in your color wheel, the color is the wrong chroma for you. It is either too bright or too muted. If that’s the case, it’s best to donate this item.


Too DarkWhat if a color is in your color wheel and in your hues of color but is just too dark for you. This can happen when you have medium to light features.

Pair the dark color with a lighter shade of that hue.

Too Cool or Too WarmWhat if a color is in your color wheel is too cool or too warm for you. For example, you have cool undertones but own an orange sweater. Or you have warm undertones and have a magenta blouse.

Pair the color with a color from your color palette.

Step 4: Organize Your Closet By HueNow that you have weeded out the clothes that don’t work for you anymore, it’s time to put your clothes back.

Group them by hue. Blues together, Reds together and so on.

Place your favorite colors in the center and work outward.

Now, when you grab a color from your closet, you can use your color wheel and choose a second color easily.
