When you’re prepping your #closets for #fall, you may be unsure just what can go into #storage bins and #donation bags. Likely candidates are flip-flops, espadrilles, sandals and other open-toed shoes; light cardigan sweaters; tropical prints; beach dresses, swimwear and summer rompers; and shorts and linen pants. If you don’t typically travel to warmer climates, all of these items can be stored out of sight — under the bed or on a high shelf — until you need them again in six months, says My Closet Edit. “If you do need access to your items for travel, you can have all of the off-season items to one side of your #closet or in a whole other closet in your home.”

It’s Time to Sort and Store Your Summer Clothing
Now that #summer is over, you may find that your warm-weather #clothing is getting in the way of — or getting in the way of locating — the pants, shirts, sweaters and coats you want to wear for #fall. It’s time to do a seasonal #wardrobe swap! Gather space bags, shoe bags, #bins and labels, and sort all of that summer gear out of your #closet and into #storage for the #winter, says Apartment Therapy. Also have some bags for any #garments you find that can be trashed immediately or #donated to help #veterans through ClothingDonations.org. You’ll be thrilled to rediscover your cold-weather clothing and be able to #organize and find it easily. #ClothingSwap
Start Storing Those Seasonal Items
Make some of your #spring #cleaning chores seasonal, The Spruce says, in order to get ready for warmer weather. Clean the grill, patio and garden furniture as soon as daytime temperatures warm up; also wash the windows to take advantage of sunnier days. You can also start sorting your heaviest sweaters, coats, flannel sheets and woolen blankets into #storage bins for next winter; you won’t need them in just a few weeks. If you find anything you just don’t want, donate it to ClothingDonations.org.
