Types of Clothes to Store

Some clothes just make sense to store by season. Accessories, boots, and shoes come to find first, but dress pants, dresses, and sweaters (I have several different weights of sweaters--hey, I live in New England) should store by season. Here's a list of the most obvious types of clothing to store by season, and types you can seasonally store if you need a bit of extra room in your closet.

 Accessories

Accessories really lend themselves to seasonal storage:

Spring and Summer accessories



In the spring/summer, it is light weight scarves, rain boots, and umbrellas.

Rainy day accessories: raincoats, rain boots, umbrellas
Beach Gear: beach bag, beach hat, flip flops
Everyday accessories: lightweight scarves, hats
And then store your...

Fall and Winter accessories

Now it's time to bring out the big guns: your cold weather accessories (which you should store in your home's entryway) should always be easy to access:

Snow day accessories: snow boots, hat, mittens or gloves, heavy scarf, snow suits for little ones
Cold day accessories: coat, boots (maybe your snow boots, maybe a good pair of cold weather walking boots), hat, gloves or mittens, scarfs, etc.
