From THE-ARE, we give you 5 tips to make the closet change and not die trying. Read on!
1. Choose the right day and the right time
It's all about attitude, so set aside a day when you have time and can do it without rushing. Put on some background music to make it more bearable!
2. Organize your clothes in three groups
The time of the closet change will allow you to see everything you have. Divide your clothes into three piles: on the one hand, what you want to keep, what you haven't worn for a long time and, on the other hand, what you want to give away, donate or retire.
3. Apply the 30 times rule
Sometimes we find it hard to get rid of some clothes, but ask yourself the following question: How many times am I going to wear it? If the answer is less than 30 times, then the best thing to do is to vacate that space in the closet and give it to someone who will use it.
Before storing the garments, we recommend washing and ironing them so that they will be in good condition the following year. Store them in cloth bags so that they do not pick up odors and are better preserved. In another post, we'll tell you how to store your bikinis and swimsuits!
4. Sort your clothes by categories
Go storing the spring summer clothes that you are going to keep by type of garment, once you have done it is time to organize your fall winter clothes. In this step it is very important to separate by categories each of the garments (coats, jackets, sweaters, dresses, pants...)
5. Follow the Marie Kondo technique
It is important to define where we are going to place each category (coats, shirts, dresses, pants...) To make the most of the space, you can use the Marie Kondo technique and keep in drawers those clothes that do not need to be hung like t-shirts, sweaters or sweatshirts. 
Coats, jackets, shirts and dresses will hang.
EXTRA TIP:A method that gives a lot of harmony to your closet is to sort by color and according to the height of the garments. This will make it easier for you to find combinations. Bags and shoes on shelves to prevent them from getting damaged and losing their original shape.
