Closet Organization? How is your closet organized? Do you organize by type of clothing? Pants, shirts, suits? ?

I'm preparing the reorganize my own closet and am interested in learning about new systems. I can already do the turn-the-hanger-the-wrong-way trick so you know what you're wearing and what you're not and can dispose of things you don't use. I'm looking for tips from uber-organizers and those whose systems are more loosely organized.

    Okay well a description of my closet is as goes.

    One side is "his" and one side is "hers".

    "Her" side starts on the left, all the clothing items are organized first by fancy, then semi-fancy, then casual and by color darkest to lightest. Everything on the left side is long, starting with long dresses, short dresses, skirts, pants, and tops. All organized according to the above.

    "His" Is still organized by the over rules..(fancy, semi-fancy, casual and darkest to lightest)

    On his left side starts with tops, then pants, then into his work pants, then work tops, then work coveralls.

    Shoes have a rack under each of our sections and the are organized the same way only the fancy ones are put into a large container that we slide under our bed.

    Now all this will change because we will be expanding our closet soon but thats how it is now.

    Hope this helped!

    Okay - here goes...closet is organized by color, then by type of clothing (sleeveless blouses, short sleeve blouses, long sleeve blouses - get the idea?) within that color. Since I currently use 2 small closets, one of them is for "play" clothes and the other is for "work" clothes.

    Once the grand "Master Closet" is created, it will further be seperated into 'his' and 'hers'. Of course, I doubt that 'his' will be so organized. :D

    It took a little while to set up but has worked really well for me for the past few years. Makes putting the clothes away sort of like coloring.

    My wife and I have a fairly large walk in closet. I installed several additional wire shelves and some robe hooks to maximize it's size. Clothing I can wear a 2nd time is hung on hangars on robe hooks. Sweaters, sweats, pajamas and fold-able items are stacked on the shelves. Shirts and blouses are separated but hung on a lower rod than dresses and pants. I use jean hangers for Levis and shoe rack for shoes, his & hers. We never hang worn clothing beside freshly laundered and dry cleaning bags are hung on the wall.

    There are some excellent closet organization systems on the market which can help you organize and store just about anything you need to put away where you can find it quickly whenever you need it.
