When getting your closet ready for summer, you will first want to clear out the clutter. Pull everything out and use your bed or floor as a staging area. Take winter clothes and store them away for the season. Big coats and bulky sweaters take up a lot of space and make your closet look dreary and cluttered. Boots and other winter shoes also take up a lot of space. Store shoes, coats and winter wear away and you will suddenly have more room to break out those summer clothes.

Summer clothes do not take up as much room as winter clothes, but we generally go through more of them each day. This is because when something becomes sweaty, we change. We also usually change after swimming. We may even wear slightly warmer clothing at night than we do during the day. Therefore, even though the clothes are smaller, we usually own more of them.

Keep out a couple of cotton long sleeved shirts and about two pairs of jeans, just in case there are some unseasonably cool nights. Adding a shelf to your closet will make space for stacks of folded t-shirts. You may also consider a shelf for shorts. If you do not choose this option, get some clothes hangers that have clips for hanging skirts and shorts. This will keep them hanging straight and wrinkle free. They will also take up half the room. The clothes hangers with clips can be reused in the winter for hanging your pants.

If you add shelves or if you have existing shelves, you can add hanging baskets underneath for smaller items like swim suits. Many people have a swim section of their closet. Here you can hang bulky beach towels, swim suit cover-ups and sun dresses. Add some hooks to the side of your closet for summer hats and beach bags. You can even pre-pack tote bags for special occasions. This is especially useful if you have children.

Pack a large tote bag with towels, sunscreen, bottles of water, sun hats and sunglasses for the whole family. Pack another with floats and water or sand toys. Pack a third bag for picnics. Include plastic plates, forks, knives, spoons, insect repellant, napkins and a picnic blanket. These make your life easier for those impromtu trips to the pool, beach or park. Easily accessible organized items will make for an easy summer of fun.
