Prepare Your Closets for Winter
I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Vanity Fair Lingerie. I received product samples to facilitate my review and compensation to thank me for my participation.
When the weather turned from cool to downright cold, you know it’s time to prepare your closets and get ready for the winter months ahead. By pulling out what you won’t use until spring, you will be able to save time and energy while easily sorting through your clothes that fit the season. Here’s how to prepare your closets for winter!
Tips to Prepare Your Closets for Winter
Pack up Summer Styles – If you still have shorts, capris, t-shirts, and tank tops lingering on your shelves, it’s officially time for them to go. Pack away the styles you know you won’t use through the cold winter months to free up space. This will allow you to more easily pick out your perfect outfits that will keep you comfortable.
Hang Your Jackets – Use hooks behind your bedroom or closet door to hang up your heavy jackets and sweaters. Keeping them on hooks will make them a cinch to grab-and-go and will allow them to dry out more easily if they do face rain and snow.
Update Your Wardrobe – If you need to fill out your closet with a few new picks to replace old, worn out, holey, or otherwise outdated clothes from the previous winter, take note of what you do have and only fill in where you need to let you focus your budget on the items you need most.
- Holiday party dress / slacks – One area I usually shop each holiday is a nice outfit for holiday parties. You don’t have to purchase a complete new outfit, you can build on what you have and add something new to mix up the look. Like a new scarf or sweater that transforms last year’s button down.
- New Bra – A good bra is the foundation to every outfit you wear. Look for a quality bra, like the Illumination Underwire Bra, that will give you support, comfort, and will help you look great at all the upcoming festivities.
- Warm socks – Toss old pairs that have formed holes from their overuse, socks are key for keeping you warm. Look for wool socks or boot socks if you’re in an especially cold climate.
Reassess your Footwear – Don’t forget to re-evaluation your shoes. This is an area often overlooked. Pack up those flip-flops to store them away with your shorts for warmer days. Keep a pair of cozy slippers or moccasins around instead for wearing around the home or errands like taking the trash out.
Make Space for Accessories – Make space for all your cold weather accessories to be out on display and easy to add to your outfits. They’ll keep you toasty and add to your outfits. You can use a tie hanger to stash scarfs and a drawer organizer to store gloves, for example.
When updating your winter wardrobe, chose a quality Vanity Fair Bra. Your bra will set the stage for your whole outfit, and the right bra makes all the difference. It can help give you a smooth silhouette and finish, accentuate your assets, and help you be comfortable and confident for whatever winter brings your way.
The Illumination Underwire Collection by Vanity Fair is perfect for your everyday wear, but is also up for the task of your most challenging holiday outfits. The convertible straps let you have the flexibility to fit the bra to whatever your outfit calls for. The molded cups will keep you confident, even in the cold.
I love my Illumination bra! It’s super comfortable and gives me the lift and smooth finish I need to feel confident and ready to face the day, even under layers! I would whole-heartedly recommend the Illumination or one of the other Vanity Fair styles to get you ready for your winter festivities!
I try my best to be organized but sometimes the stuff gets away from me. After reading your post, I am going to make an effort to organized the front closet this week.
I really need to organize our shoes. All of our shoes are thrown in a pile and I do not know where anything is. Drives me nuts.
My closets need help. They are a mess and I do not know where anything is. I need to follow your tips. Thanks!
These are great tips. I love the bra drawer! I really need to organize my drawers.
Ah yes. A good bra…it’s the endless pursuit. I haven’t checked out Vanity Fair in a long time, I will def. have to see their latest styles based on your recommendations.
The change of season is always a great time to assess your wardrobe and accessories and figure out what to keep and what to giveaway. Thanks for some really good organizational ideas to get it all done for winter.
you did a really great job. i especially like the bra drawer. i wish i could keep mine that neat. i try and then a few weeks like they are in disarray. lol. thanks for the tips i am gonna try these.
I love the idea of organizing closet and preparing for the winter.Its better prepare than never.
I don’t need to do anything special for winter since I live in Orlando, FL but I can still check out the new bra line. I always need new bras!

I love Vanity Fair! One of my favorite things about new holiday seasons is being able to update and add new pieces to my wardrobe.
I always put off organizing my closet for the new season… especially for winter, I guess I am in denial that it will get cold.
Living in FL I don’t have to prepare my closet for anything. It’s flip flop and summer dress weather all the time, haha.
Well, here in Texas we don’t really get winter, so we tend to keep all clothing year round… but it is a great time to go through my bras. I always forget that after a while a bra can loosen and not give the support that I need. Thanks for the reminder.
I sorely need to do some cleaning and organizing of my closet. It need to get winter ready!
Most of my clothes are still in industrial sized garbage bags from our move in August. How awful right? I NEED to go through it all and get my closet ready for winter.
I need to go through my clothes and transition over to winter. I love these tips. I wonder if I can get my children to do the same or if I’ll be stuck doing it for them.
I really really need to do this. I just don’t have the space for both my winter and summer clothes but I’m lazy about storing one season when it’s time. Thanks for the tips!
These are great tips. Luckily, I don’t have to do very much to get winter ready. We live in Georgia, so there aren’t exactly sub zero temps.
I love these ideas. I never do anything to make my closet more manageable, and it shows!
