Clothing organization

Quick q, how do you keep your LOs' clothes organized? I have an 8-drawer dresser and a closet...hangers or drawers, or what goes where that works best for you? TIA!

If it can be hung, its hung in the closet. I like being able to see all of the outfits instead of digging through drawers. I also have a system that I pick the outfits from the left and then put away clean clothes to the right. This way we aren't wearing the same outfits back to back. Yes, I'm anal like that.

We use a double extender rod to fit more clothes. We have an organizer where I can put pants/shorts and other misc items such as bathing suits, winter accessories, matching bibs to outfits, etc.

White plain onesies, burp cloths, hats and socks are in a drawer. Blankets are folding neatly on shelves for easy access. Toys are on the bottom.

Here is a pic of their closet:

At that age it was:

Drawers - onesies, pants and other bottoms, gowns, socks, hats, other accessories

Closet - sleepers, actual shirts, dresses, any cute/special occasion outfits

 

Each kid had/has their own side of the closet, and on each side clothes were hung by type (all sleepers together, all short sleeve shirts together, etc) and size within the types when they were in between and wearing two sizes at once.

My boys are almost 3 months old, and everything goes in their 4 drawer dresser/changing table.

top right drawer - onsies and snap t-shirts

top left drawer - sleep and plays, sleep gowns

middle large drawer - outfits they are fitting into now

bottom large drawer - outfits they will fit into shortly

The boys' dresser is a 4 drawer dresser. The top drawer are diapers and socks, second drawer are bottoms, pants and shorts, third drawer are t-shirts and the fourth drawer are for pajamas only. In the closet, they have a large walk in closet with a shelving for shoes (when they start wearing them) but the top shelf we have landon's clothes in blue hangers from NB to 12 months. The lower shelf, we have Sean's clothes in the same order, in white hangers. The closet clothes are there "dressier outfits" and the ones in the drawer are hanging around the house and stuff.

We only have a small 2 door dresser that we use for underwear, socks and tights.

I use baskets in the changing table (which is just used as a table) for all of the pajamas.

And then everything else hangs in the closet.  Here's a link to what it looked like in the spring:

We have a 6 drawer Ikea Malm dresser and a big closet with a small dresser in it.  All current size pants are in one drawer, current size shirts and onsies in another drawer. Two drawers of PJs (they are in different sizes) and then all dresses and bigger sizes are hanging on hangers.

I also have shelves in their room with two baskets - one for socks and tights and one for headbands.

LOVE the closet pics!  Thanks for sharing!  I'm trying to figure out how to convert my son's closet into a closet for him to share with our twin girls!  I'm thinking we need to add a 2nd rod to hang clothes. 

Right now I hang all shirts by category: tank tops, polos, collared shirts, t shirts, long sleeve shirts.  The rest all goes in drawers!  In the bottom half of his closet we have  a book shelf that we cut in half and put one half on each side of the closet.  On those shelves I put large baby blankets, changing pad covers, clean crib sheets, and a combination of recently outgrown clothing and clothing that will fit soon.
