Closet Basics for Men

Straightforward components are the backbone of efficient closet organization. You begin with the basics: hanging storage and open shelving. From there, the closet will take on a very personal slant as you add elements that mesh with your lifestyle and wardrobe needs. Drawers are a perennial favorite because they are so versatile. From socks and intimate wear to iPods and money clips, drawers accommodate items that are often hard to keep orderly. They can be fitted with inserts that protect cuff links or watches from scratches and damage or dividers that organize socks. Adjustable shoe shelves are an indispensable element that keeps footwear visible and neat. But it goes beyond that by extending the life of shoes and preventing scratches and crushing. For the well dressed male, ties are an essential wardrobe accessory. Tie and belt racks provide abundant storage in a slim space preventing wrinkling and creasing. Valet rods provide an ideal way to plan your next day’s wardrobe. By choosing your wardrobe the night before, you reduce the time it takes to get out the door in the morning. So, start with the basics, and then customize the components that will create a closet that is more useable and personalized.
