If your dresser drawers 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 drawers. So, we continue my series on clothing organization. I covered pajama organization in my previous post. Here I continue with how to properly organize your workout clothes for easy access whether you like to store them in your dresser or closet. 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 workout clothes, you must purge the workout clothes 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 workout clothes. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your workout clothes with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize pajamas and swimwear.

Folding Techniques for Organizer-Free Drawer Organization

You don’t always have to use drawer organizers to have efficiently organized drawers. My best tip for having workout clothes nicely contained is to use my folding techniques which I share here and in my updated video here:

Filing your clothing helps you to see everything at a glance so you don’t have to dig through piles and jumble up your drawers while you try to find what you need. Here is my own drawer with my workout clothes stored without organizing products:

I have my jacket at the top left corner, two t-shirts below that, two tank tops below that, and four leggings and one pair of biker shorts on the right. (I personally don’t need sports bras as I am rather small up top, but I share organizing solutions for sports bras below.) This is all I need for a week’s worth of workout clothing. 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.

Drawer Organizing Solutions

If you feel you need organizing solutions for your drawers, you can utilize something like this to contain your sports bras, leggings, tank tops, and socks (found here):

For those who don’t care to meticulously fold your clothes, you can subdivide your workout clothes into categories of tops and bottoms, etc. into these organizers which can either be set in a deep drawer or on a closet shelf (found here):

How to Organize Workout Clothes in the Closet

If you don’t have a dresser or dresser space, you can add organizing solutions to your closet. Something like this can be great for containing your sports bras on the bra organizer and your tops, bottoms, gym towels, and socks on the hanging shelves and within the drawer (found here):

This is a great all-in-one solution for micro-organizing bras and leggings and tank tops in the subdivided drawers (found here):

For a super space-saving option, hanging organizers like these can contain your tank tops and leggings (found here):

Instead of taking up the space of 16 hangers, you only take the space of two on your closet rod.
