Summer is finally on the horizon, and that has a lot of implications for our wardrobes. Aside from their being countless items to stock up on or, perhaps, bring out of storage or out from under the bed, it also means you can start putting away a lot of the wardrobe basics that have been hogging real estate in your closet for the last eight months or so. This includes the usual suspects like coats and boots as well as less-obvious pieces such as the sweatpants you’ve likely been living in for the last couple months or our beloved blazers that it will soon be too hot for.
If you're anything like me and love a good closet purge, this should all sound like a lot of fun. To read about what nine items to swap and shop the nine summer-ready picks to replace them with, buckle up and simply keep scrolling.
