Winter to Spring Wardrobe Switch Tips

Winter to Spring Wardrobe Switch Tips

We've partnered with Jeeves, London and New York's finest dry cleaners, to give you tips on switching your wardrobe from Winter to Spring.


Winter Jackets Should Be Cleaned According to Use

  • If you wore something quite a bit over the last season, it's best to clean it before storing it away.
  • When it comes to cleaning winter jackets, whenever possible, separate the liner from the outer shell and follow the care instructions.
  • Add wool dryer balls when drying down jackets as they help reduce drying time and also help fluff up the jacket.

Knit Garments

  • When storing scarves and sweaters, the material will dictate the way you can clean them so always check the care label and proceed as indicated.
  • Almost all knits can be hand washed, either by hand or with a hand washing cycle.
  • Make sure you lay knit garments flat after washing and do not tumble dry to avoid stretching and deformation.
  • The biggest problem with knits is moth damage. The best way to avoid this is by cleaning knit garments before putting them away during the warmer months.
  • Fact: moths love to eat surface soil like sweat, food and drinks, much more than the material itself.

Storing Shoes

  • When storing rubber soled shoes and boots, use water and dish soap to rid their outer layers of soil and dirt.
  • Scrub lightly, wipe the dirt away with a fresh towel, and let air dry.
  • For leather shoes, use a mild leather cleaner. Before using it on the entire shoe, it's best to test it on a small, hidden area to ensure the cleaning solvent does not pull the dye away from the shoe.
  • The possibility for shoes to be damaged during storage is very minimal. However, it's still ideal to use breathable shoe bags.
  • For leather boots, you can condition any leather areas to ensure they stay hydrated throughout the year.

Additional Tips

  • Refrain from using any kind of plastic storage for both clothes and shoes as it will only accelerate oxidation or yellowing.
  • For extreme cases, you can use a cold storage facility for high priced garments and accessories.

1/3 of the carbon footprint of clothes comes from the way we care for them.
