The main thing about organizing a closet is that it must work for the owner. However, I have seen many closets over a period of twenty years and am still surprised how disorganized they can be. Once in a while, though, I will come across one that is perfectly organized for the owner.

Here are some tips on how to organize your closet so it works for you.

If you love to mix and match your clothing:

• Arrange all the like items together: slacks, shirts, jackets etc.
• Arrange the like items by color, so all your black slacks are first, then brown, blue, etc.

This way, all the like items start with the same color arrangements.

If you tend to wear your clothes by outfit:

• Arrange your closet by outfits.
• Cluster your suits together with a top and accessories (tie or jewelry).
• Arrange your sweaters with the appropriate bottom.

The main thing about your closet is to arrange it so you can dress easily. You want to be able to look picture perfect without too much drama.
