Make Room for Sunshine: The Best Time to Clean Out Your Closet for Summer is Now

As the days grow longer and the sunshine sticks around a little more each day, there’s something about spring that makes everything feel fresh, full of potential, and ready for a reset. With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to take stock of your closet and let go of what no longer fits your life—or your style.


We all hang on to items for different reasons. Maybe it’s a dress you thought you’d wear again but never did. Or a jacket that holds a memory, but not much more. Let this season be the moment you make space—for breezy summer styles, for clarity, and for doing a little good in the process.

We all hold on to clothing for different reasons—maybe it’s a dress you planned to wear again but never did, or a jacket full of memories but no longer your style. This summer, make space in your closet by letting go of what you no longer wear. Clear the clutter, refresh your wardrobe with breathable summer fashion, and donate your pre-loved pieces to support a good cause

Here’s why spring cleaning your closet is worth it:

Feeling Overwhelmed by Your Summer Closet Cleanout? Here’s How to Make It Easy and Worthwhile

1. Lighten Up for Warmer Days


Packing away heavy layers and pulling out your warm-weather closet makes it easier to see what you actually wear—and what’s just taking up space. This transition is the ideal moment to assess what you love, what fits, and what you’re ready to let go of.


2. Rediscover What You Already Have in your closet


You might be surprised how many outfits you can make with pieces you’ve forgotten about. Cleaning out your closet helps you reconnect with your personal style and avoid unnecessary purchases.


3. Give Your Gently Loved Clothes New Life


Instead of letting items sit unused, consider donating them to a cause that matters. At Style and Give, we help turn your quality pre-loved fashion into support for nonprofits. It’s a simple, meaningful way to give back while you refresh your closet.


Want to donate your items to benefit your cause?

4. Less Clutter, More Clarity


A tidy closet can bring a sense of peace and control to your daily routine. You’ll spend less time searching for what to wear and more time enjoying the season.


Need help getting started?


Try the “one-hour rule.” Set a timer for 60 minutes and focus on just one category: shoes, tops, or accessories. You’ll be surprised how much progress you can make.

And remember— style is meant to be shared. So if you’re ready to donate, we’re here to help you give with purpose.

Let this season be your fresh start for clean your closet.

Clean out. Give back. And make room for the sunshine.
