Getting your wardrobe ready for Autumn does not have to be painful. My top 5 fixes will help you prepare your wardrobe for the change in weather. They are also super quick to save you time in your busy life.

Separate your summer dresses and skirts into the following two categories:

  1. Only for summer
  2. Still okay to wear

Category 1 – These are the dresses and skirts that you only wear on holiday or when it’s really hot at home. You can put these away now until it gets warm again.

Category 2 – These are the dresses and skirts that you could easily wear if you simply add a pair of tights or a jumper. These are the summer items you can keep in your wardrobe for autumn.

2. Footwear
