Organizing a man's closet

Yes, men want to have more order in their closet, too. Unless you have a rock star's income and two-story walk-in closet, use the tips below to make the most out of a normal closet.

Get rid of your old stuff

Take everything in your closet that you don’t wear. I know you got attached to it but think about renovation, and for that to work you need to unattach from the old stuff you have. Unclutter that closet!

T- Shirts

Organize T-shirts by colors and the ones that have graphics on them. You should already have everything out of your closet, so choose a place that you think will be perfect for the t-shirts section. Go ahead and separate all the colors including t-shirts with graphics on it. Then place the t-shirts organized by color and hang them. With the same color t-shirts keep the ( Plain T shirts on the left ) and ( T shirts with graphics on the right ) and so on for the other colors. It should look like this:

Or if you would prefer, you could just fold them and put them away organized.

Dress Shirts and Suits

With Dress Shirts you should do the same thing and arrange them by colors as well. Men often use different type of colors so remember to separate the plaid shirts as well. For the Suits and Blazers beside colors, separate them by fabric wool, cotton , linen etc…

Jeans and Pants

Hang your Jeans and Pants because they tend to get wrinkles. You should already know how important it is to never wear clothes that are wrinkled. If you don’t have much space in your closet at least hang the pants and leave the jeans folded.

Shoes and Accessories:

The best way to organize shoes and accessories is to make them visible.  You want to be sure you will see everything you have to make the best option for your outfit. You don’t want to be going from box to box trying to find what you are looking for. A shoe rack is extremely helpful if you don’t have a space built in for shoes in your closet. Plus you can also place it underneath the hangers to make usage of all space you have. The same thing for watches, sunglasses,bracelets etc… You can always buy some nice rack to place them and maybe a portable one so when you are traveling you can take everything at once.



For Ties and Belts hang everything. Once again, you don’t want to fold your ties because it can get wrinkled and if you fold your belts unproperly , it will leave marks that will damage them.
