Your coffee table and vanity mirror are ready for the moving truck. Anything you won\u2019t need for the next few weeks is packed or planned to pack, but how about your clothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a great idea to put aside a duffel bag, backpack, or small suitcase with a few days\u2019 worth of outfits (plus toiletries and other essentials) before moving day. That way, you can <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"\/moving-services\/packing-services\/\" title=\"pack up\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">pack up<\/a> the remaining clothing without having it affect your moving timeline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where do you start, though? In this guide, we\u2019re going to explain how to pack clothes efficiently and quickly so that you can finish up this move and enjoy your new home before you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get right into it. Shall we?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why listen to us? We&#8217;re Bellhop &#8211; we&#8217;re national movers, and have moved tens of thousands of people over the past decade.

There\u2019s an outfit you bought a year or two ago that you just <em>love<\/em>, and you can\u2019t bring yourself to give it up, even though you haven\u2019t had an occasion to wear it to since the first month you owned it. Here\u2019s our advice: <em>just do it<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll forget about that outfit once it\u2019s out of your closet. On the other hand, if you aren\u2019t ready to give it up, try to book your schedule with events where that outfit makes sense, or incorporate pieces of it into your everyday wardrobe. That way, it gets put to good use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re going through your closet, here are some questions to ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Does this article of clothing fit?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it go with more than one outfit?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it bring me joy?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can I see myself wearing it again?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it match my aesthetic?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the answer to these is \u201cno,\u201d consider donating the clothing to a friend, selling it online, or donating it to a local shelter. The clothing will be out of your hands and in the hands of someone else who will get good use out of it in no time. Remember: one (wo)man\u2019s junk is another (wo)man\u2019s treasure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-separate-clothing-that-s-not-in-season\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Separate_clothing_thats_not_in_season\"><\/span>Separate clothing that\u2019s not in season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather changes drastically depending on where you are in the U.S. If you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/moving-from\/new-york-to-florida\/\">moving from New York to Florida<\/a>, it might not make sense to bring winter clothing\u2013unless you plan to travel back to New York often for work purposes or to visit family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you can do is go through this seasonal clothing (winter jackets, snow pants, long-sleeve shirts, pants, shorts, swimsuits, etc.), and see what you could realistically see yourself wearing while living in your new city or state. If the place you\u2019re moving to has all four seasons (think: the Pacific Northwest), you might want to bring it all, but you can pack up the out-of-season items ahead of schedule since you probably won\u2019t need those for a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6e7880\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6e7880;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Rolled up Blankets and Clothes in a suitcase\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-23364 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packed-blankets-and-clothes-1024x597.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packed-blankets-and-clothes-1024x597.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packed-blankets-and-clothes-300x175.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packed-blankets-and-clothes-768x448.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packed-blankets-and-clothes.jpg 1200w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-roll-your-clothes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roll_your_clothes\"><\/span>Roll your clothes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you pack clothes to take up the least space? Try rolling them! There are tons of ways to pack clothes for moving, and rolling is one of our personal favorites. (Typically, it\u2019s better to roll clothes than fold them because rolled clothes are space savers.)&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-1073846343\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you roll clothes for packing? Essentially, you flatten out your clothing while you roll it with your hands. That cuts down on wrinkling and makes your clothes not take up a lot of room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to roll clothes, practice on your socks, shirts, and shorts. To roll a t-shirt, fold the sleeves so that they go to the middle of the shirt. Then, fold one sleeve to the middle, and follow suit with the other sleeve. Use your hands to rub the shirt and get rid of wrinkles (if applicable). (Note: For long-sleeve shirts, it\u2019s usually best to fold the sleeves toward the back of the shirt in a cross pattern.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, roll it out from the bottom to the top, rubbing it to ward off those pesky wrinkles as you see fit. It\u2019s that easy! If you\u2019re rolling pants, start by folding them with one pant leg over the other. Use your hands on those wrinkles, and roll from the top of the pants to the bottom of the pants. (You can also use packing cubes if you wish after the clothing is rolled.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-use-what-you-have\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_what_you_have\"><\/span>Use what you have<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You already know the most effective way to pack clothes. Now it\u2019s about finding a place for those clothes! Here\u2019s a secret: you don\u2019t necessarily need to get new moving boxes for clothing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good time to put all those backpacks, suitcases, and duffel bags in your closet to good use. Using what you have is a great way to save money and time, as well as keep things organized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have any suitcases, you can use dresser drawers. Simply make sure your clothing is all clean beforehand, pack your dresser accordingly, and cover the clothing with plastic if needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"82705c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #82705c;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Person packing luggage into a suitcase on the floor\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-23365 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packing-luggage-1024x597.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packing-luggage-1024x597.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packing-luggage-300x175.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packing-luggage-768x448.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/packing-luggage.jpg 1200w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-pack-similar-items-together\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pack_similar_items_together\"><\/span>Pack similar items together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026And be sure to put the heaviest items at the bottom of the box, duffel bag, or suitcase\u2013whatever you choose! You might find the packing process goes faster if you toss all of your clothing into cases or boxes without a rhyme or reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth taking a few extra minutes to sort through things and put similar items together. That can prevent you from losing your favorite articles of clothing and help you track down pieces faster. (For instance, consider packing your blazers together, suits together, and workout clothing together.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the actual packing, put the items in their box, container, or bag carefully, setting the heavy stuff in first. Then, add items as needed, making sure all the space is used. Things like undergarments should go at the top since they\u2019re lightweight. (It also makes them easy to access!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-more-dos-and-don-ts-for-packing-clothes-shoes-and-accessories\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_dos_and_donts_for_packing_clothes_shoes_and_accessories\"><\/span>More dos and don\u2019ts for packing clothes, shoes, and accessories&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure your clothing and shoes are clean before packing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover your shoes with plastic or in a shoe box so that they don\u2019t get your clothing dirty if you decide to pack them in the same bag.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put something inside your shoes to help them maintain their shape during the moving process.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store your accessories in a different container so that they don\u2019t get broken or lost during the move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Layer items on top of one another to make use of all of the space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Save packing your clothing, shoes, and accessories until the last hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a wardrobe box for everyday clothes.
