4 Ways to Organize Clothes While Moving

While planning a move, you have several essentials to ensure you have what you need as you settle down in a new location. One of these essentials is clothes. Keeping track of clothing and having outfits for both work and leisure is an important aspect of any big move.

Many methods can help you stay organized. Follow these tips to ensure you have the access to all your clothing needs without rummaging from box to box.

One way to prepare clothes to wear for your move is to pack a collection like you are going on a vacation. Determine the length of time the move will take. In some cases, you could have a three- to four-day delay before you fully settle down. Plan outfits for each of these days, plus one extra outfit to have more than enough.

Packing the outfits inside of a suitcase will be similar to vacation planning and give you access to the items with ease. If multiple people are involved in the move, each person should have their own suitcase so things stay organized.

Cleaning out a closet or hanging clothes rack can be cumbersome and take up a lot of time, especially as you remove hangers and try to stay organized. One way to organize items in the order you prefer is with wardrobe moving boxes.

The boxes are vertical in design, feature a hanging pole across the top, and allow items to hang directly in the box without piling on each other or wrinkling. Once the box goes from home to home, the items are easy to grab and wear as needed. Multiple wardrobe boxes will help keep clothes from becoming overstuffed in a single area.

If you plan to hire a moving company to pack and unpack your home, then these boxes make the process easier as well.

Sometimes you may be unsure of exactly what you want to wear each day. Instead of stuffing everything inside a box, give yourself options and quick access with drawer carts. These carts typically feature three drawers, allowing you to fill each one with a lot of clothing options for the transition period of the move.

Drawer carts also make it easier to separate different types of clothes including shirts, socks, and pants. With the clear design, clothing is easily seeable through all sides of the cart, saving some time when looking for a specific item.

The carts typically feature wheels on them, allowing you to easily move them from room to room and not get in the way while packing or unpacking.

A move from home to home is an ideal time to go through a clothing purge. You may donate or toss out old clothes and really condense the options. Once all of the clothes arrive at the new home, you will have an easier time putting them away in closets, on shelves, or in dresser drawers.

Even just getting rid of a little bit of clothes can have a huge difference in the ability to stay organized while moving. Have a donation box open and ready so you can easily toss clothes in while you pack for the move. Then donate or toss out the box, depending on the condition of the clothes. Toss overly ripped or stained clothes in the garbage.
