Closet edit checklist
A closet edit is one of the most powerful things you can do to simplify your life. In over twenty years designing clothes, fitting garments, and working with real people in real wardrobes, I learned that most people do not need more clothes. They need the right clothes.
Closet edit checklist
Before we get into the details of editing your closet, here’s a quick and actionable checklist you can refer to during the process:
Clear space for three piles: keep, not sure, and let go
Pull everything out so you can see what you own
Try on key pieces to check fit and comfort
Check fabric, seams, hems, and overall condition
Remove pieces that no longer fit your life or style
Set aside items that need tailoring
Identify standout pieces worth keeping
Review the “not sure” pile with fresh eyes
List wardrobe gaps that need filling
Organize what stays by category and color
Place your most used pieces at eye level
Fold knits to protect shape and fabric
Store shoes where you can see them
Create a short plan to keep the closet edited over time
Start with a closet audit
Less is more. You do not need a packed closet to look good. During a closet audit, I take a close look at what you own and how it lines up with your lifestyle, your body type, and your style goals.
I check fit, fabric, proportion, and condition. I point out what still works and what no longer serves you. Some pieces only need a small change, like a new hem or a better sleeve length. Some pieces deserve a gentle farewell. This part of the process uncovers hidden gems, clears out noise, and shows the gaps that keep your wardrobe from working as well as it should.
My goal is to build a strong foundation that makes smart shopping easier. Editing what you have with what you need is something I have done for years. A clean and honest audit sets the stage for a wardrobe that feels intentional and confidence boosting.
Rebuild your wardrobe
Once the closet is edited, we rebuild with purpose. This is where my years as a designer come in. I help you find foundational pieces and strong staples that can mix, match, and repeat without feeling boring. I also guide you toward the right statement pieces so your wardrobe has personality and direction.
I keep the focus on quality, shape, and longevity. These details matter. I have spent my career tailoring garments to real bodies, so I know how to choose pieces that make you feel comfortable and capable.
As the rebuild takes shape, your wardrobe becomes modern, functional, and personal. Getting dressed becomes easier. It becomes something you look forward to instead of a chore.
Keep things current
A good wardrobe should grow with you, not drift away from you. This step is about keeping things current and aligned with your life. I check in with clients, make mini edits, and help integrate new pieces without adding clutter. I also help retire items that no longer fit the direction we set. This ongoing support keeps your style fresh and intentional all year.
My goal is simple. I want to make your life easier when you get dressed. I want you to know what works on you and why. I want the outside to match the confidence you carry on the inside. Dressing well is part of telling your story.
A closet edit is not about becoming someone new. It is about making space for who you are right now. If you want help getting started, you can reach me through my contact page.
