1. Declutter Your Wardrobe

Your first step is to declutter your winter wardrobe. Set aside the winter styles you just don’t wear anymore to save yourself the work of putting it all away for the season. But don’t just toss them to the side to be forgotten about; you can sell or donate those items so someone who actually needs them can enjoy them! If you see a future in certain items, look towards sustainably reworking those old sweaters, scarves, or t-shirts into something unique.

2. Wash and Clean

Next, you’ll want to wash and clean the winter wardrobe items you plan on keeping for next season. This ensures that your belongings won’t be infiltrated by moths or other pests in storage. Prioritize washing garments with a basic, unscented detergent. This way pests won’t be drawn to your items, plus you’ll know that fave jacket of yours will be ready-to-wear on the next go-around! If you’re storing more delicate items, it’s best to follow the wash instructions included on the tags. For winter shoes and boots, prepare to give them a good wipe-down with a sanitized cloth.

3. Invest In Tools

Next, invest in some organizational tools. You’ll likely want to decide where your unused winter items will be stored before you look into solutions. Whether it be under your bed, or in the attic or garage, there are plenty of tools to help you! Keep in mind that clothes of different conditions will require different storage solutions. More delicate pieces can be wrapped in tissue paper to prevent wear, tear, and snagging. For the more durable pieces you have on hand, it’s okay to nicely fold them or store them in a garment bag.

The Best Solutions For Storing Winter Clothes

Below you'll find all your needs for safely and effectively storing winter items.

Garment Bags

This garment bag ensures you have plenty of space to store bulkier winter items. It even has extra racks on the inside to provide more durability and storage.

Bins

Clear, weatherproofed sealed plastic bins like this one are great for labeling and seeing what’s inside so you actually know what you stored, months down the road.

Vacuum Bags

Vacuum bags are a lifesaver when it comes to bigger, bulkier clothing items. They make storage super easy and worry-free when it comes to weatherproofing. You can store these bags under your bed or in the garage and know your belongings are safe from the elements.

Under-Bed Bins

Forget “out of sight, out of mind” with these rolling under-bed storage bins. They’ll be easy to access when you need to grab a sweater for chilly days, plus this solution keeps your space tidy in the off-season.

Clothes Hangers

Sturdier hangers will suit those heavy coats in storage super well, providing support throughout the warmer months.

Anti-Moth Solutions

Store these nontoxic moth repellent bags alongside your valued items to ensure they won’t be taken over.

Shoe Shapers

Use shapers to insert in your shoes and boots so that they don’t get crushed in storage. Even old crumpled newspapers or paper towel rolls will do the trick!

Clothes Rack

Extra racks can provide a set space for your stored items, if you don’t have another designated area.

More Tips For Winter Clothing Storage

• Master the art of folding. To maintain item quality, don’t just crumple or throw items in a bin. Ideally what you're storing is stuff you’ll wear again!
• Be resourceful. If you find yourself short on resources and space, you can use empty suitcases or other boxes you may have on hand to store items.
• Know what goes where. Larger coats, ski gear, and bulky items store best in vacuum bags or on hangers in garment bags.

Talking to Vanity Fair for her newest film Lee, Kate Winslet revealed one project she wishes fans asked about more is Iris. The 2001 film stars Kate as a young Iris Murdoch against Judi Dench's older counterpart. And for Kate, nothing was more terrifying than working with such a wonderful actress.

"People don’t really ask me about Iris. It’s such a delicate film," she says. "It was the first thing I had done after having my daughter. Going to work with a baby, I’m playing Iris Murdoch, looking to Judi Dench’s older Iris Murdoch — I was sh—ting myself."

Considering how nervous I get when I meet my heroes, I can only imagine what it was like to meet Dame Judi Dench. Talk about a dream! Another film Kate loves is Revolutionary Road, and not just because she got to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The thing that people say is, 'You got to work with Leo again.' Then they go off on the whole Leo tangent, which I totally understand," she says of the film, which follows an ambitious couple who find themselves trapped in the reality of 1950s suburbia. "But Revolutionary Road — f—king hell, it just knocked us all sideways. Unbelievably difficult material. I was very proud of that film and what Leo and I were able to create as Frank and April. It was so brutal."

The process for getting Lee into the world sounds equally brutal, considering Kate started working on it over a decade ago. As producer, Kate tells Vanity Fair she doesn't mind the fact she's done more for the film than if she only had an acting credit. "That has felt very necessary for this film. But it’s also just really important to me," she says. "It’s important to me that people know that it’s out there and might feel compelled to go and see it."

Because it turns out, commercial success or stardom on its own doesn't actually help your movie get made! "It doesn’t matter who you are," she says. "No one’s going to go, 'Oh, I’ll just back that pony because she was in Titanic.' It doesn’t happen that way, and I never expected that. That’s really important to say."

"I've gotten older and I’ve learned more and felt more confident in myself about whether or not I could actually do it," she adds. "It’s not something I would’ve done had I not felt so passionately about the subject, and Lee was just—she wouldn’t let me go."
