Spring Cleaning Your Closet: How to Organize for the New Season

Spring Cleaning Your Closet: How to Organize for the New Season

Spring is here, and you know what that means—time to hit refresh, not just in your home, but in your closet too! If you’re staring at a jam-packed wardrobe and still feeling like you have “nothing to wear,” it’s time for a little spring cleaning, Riah Jane-style. Think: less stress, more confidence, and a wardrobe that actually works for your life. Let’s do this!

Step 1: Clear the Clutter (With Love)

First things first—take everything out of your closet. Yep, even that dress you swore you’d wear last summer but didn’t. Then, ask yourself:

  • Do I love it? (Like, really love it?)
  • Do I wear it often?
  • Does it fit my current body + lifestyle?
  • Can it mix + match easily with my other pieces?

If it’s a YES—keep it. If it’s a NO—donate, sell, or repurpose it. For those pieces you love but won’t wear until next season? Fold them up and store them away to make room for the now.

Step 2: Organize Like a Pro

Now that you’ve done the hard work, let’s get your closet looking (and functioning) like a dream.

  • Group your clothes by type (tees, jeans, jackets—keep ‘em together!)
  • Invest in matching hangers (trust me, it makes everything look instantly chic)
  • Keep your most-worn pieces front and center (so you actually wear them!)
  • Use storage bins for accessories, off-season clothes, and shoes

Step 3: Build a Capsule Wardrobe That Works for YOU

Capsule wardrobes aren’t about limiting your style—they’re about making your life easier with pieces that just work. Here’s what your spring capsule needs:

  • Lightweight Layers: A quarter zip pullover or break point jacket for those in-between temps
  • Everyday Bottoms: A pair of lounge pants, shorts, or an athletic skort for easy, comfy style
  • Staple Tees & Tanks: A slub tee and tank bra that you can mix + match
  • Go-To Shoes: Neutral sneakers, sandals, or loafers that go with everything
  • Minimal Accessories: A versatile handbag, sunglasses, and dainty jewelry to pull it all together
  • Step 4: Keep the Good Vibes Going

The key to maintaining a fresh, functional closet? Keep it simple.

Follow the “one in, one out” rule—when you buy something new, donate or sell an old item

Do a quick check-in every month—if you’re not wearing it, let it go

Shop intentionally—focus on versatile, high-quality pieces that work for your lifestyle

Ready to Refresh?

Spring is the perfect excuse to give your wardrobe a little love. Whether you’re simplifying your style or just making room for some new favorites, remember—it’s all about keeping what you love and letting go of what you don’t.
