How to Refresh Your Fall & Winter Wardrobe After Storage

As the air gets cooler and the days shorter, it’s finally time to swap out sundresses and shorts for cozy sweaters, coats, and boots. But if your fall and winter wardrobe has been sitting in storage all summer, it probably needs a little extra attention before you wear it again.

Here’s how to make sure your seasonal pieces look (and feel) their best this year:

Inspect Before You Wear

Pull everything out of storage and give it a once-over. Check for moth holes, lingering odors, or any hidden stains that may have set over time. Even small issues can become bigger if ignored, especially with delicate fabrics like wool, cashmere and silk.

Refresh Sweaters and Wool Coats

Wool and cashmere often trap musty odors during storage. Instead of tossing them straight into the wash (which can shrink or damage them), bring them to a professional cleaner. A gentle cleaning process restores freshness, removes unseen dirt, and helps sweaters keep their shape.

Revive Leather & Suede Items

Boots, gloves, and handbags often stiffen up after months in the closet. Leather conditioners and suede treatments can bring them back to life, but professional care goes a step further—removing deep stains, rehydrating the material, and protecting against future wear.

Wash Bedding & Outerwear Before Use

Comforters, blankets, and heavier outerwear can trap dust while in storage. Give them a fresh start with professional cleaning to eliminate allergens and revive loft and softness. You’ll thank yourself the first chilly night you crawl under the covers.
