HOW TO ORGANIZE BLOUSES

If your dressers and closets are overflowing or jumbled, you’re likely wasting so much time looking for things and also damaging your clothes as they are being jammed and snagged in your dressers and closets. So, we continue my series on clothing organization. I covered dress shirt organization in my previous post. Here I continue with the best ways to properly organize your blouses to keep them wrinkle-free and maximize storage. And, did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your blouses, you must purge the blouses that you do not like and no longer use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do need and use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your blouses. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your blouses with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces.

Blouse Organization

Before you start organizing your blouses, I highly suggest editing your collection. You don’t want to purchase a bunch of organizing solutions to contain blouses you’re not even going to wear. I share my clothing quantities to keep guidelines in my freebie library here. My guide helps you to determine how many of each clothing item to keep based on your lifestyle and how often you are able to do laundry.

Hanging vs Folding

I don’t know about you, but I would rather avoid ironing my clothes as much as possible. So, I like to hang all my clothing. The key is to have enough space between each piece so your blouses are not getting crushed and wrinkled. Again, that’s why purging and editing your closet is necessary for removing the excess allowing you more storage space.

To maximixe hanging space, you can install an adjustable closet rod to double your hanging space. To make the best use of being able to adjust the rod height, you can store shorter blouses on your closet rod and adjust the closet rod up to your shorter blouses and store longer blouses underneath or vice versa (found here):

For tops that don’t wrinkle very easily, you can maxmize storage space by utilizing cacading hangers which allow you to hang multiple blouses in the space that one regular hanger would take (found here):

To maximize space even further, you can utilize low profile hangers which shorten hanging space (found here):

I don’t recommend using tree hangers as it is a bit cumbersome trying to remove each blouse from each section (found here):

It is likely that you already have hangers that you can use on the cascading hangers suggested above. Also, cascading hangers allow you to hook one side of the hanger up onto your closet rod so that you can easily select the blouse you need from its specific spot.

By the way, I have very few blouses. With my minimal wardrobe, I am able to make around 240 outfits. I share tips for how to keep your closets from overflowing, yet always have something to wear, here.
