Colour organisation looks impressive and works well for some wardrobes and badly for others. It depends on how you actually choose clothes.
It works if you think in colour
If you decide what to wear by starting from a colour, this makes getting dressed faster. If you start from a garment type, it slows you down.
Order it light to dark within each colour
The gradient is what makes it easy to scan, and it makes gaps obvious.
Combine with category for the best of both
Organise by type first, then by colour within each type. This suits most people better than pure colour order.
How to do it
How to do it
- Group by garment type first — tops, trousers, dresses
- Within each group, order by colour
- Run light to dark, with white at one end and black at the other
- Keep patterns at the end of their dominant colour
- Put neutrals together, since they combine most
- Re-sort at the seasonal swap, not continuously
