Quick, visual tips for organizing, keeping essentials, and incorporating new seasonal pieces.
Changing your wardrobe is that seasonal ritual that invites us to refresh, let go, and rekindle our passion for our style. If you're struggling with where to start, ULANKA has a quick (and very visual) guide to make it quick, practical, and even inspiring. Spoiler alert: your next favorite ballet flats are closer than you think ;)
1. Empty, observe and group
Start by emptying your closet and sorting. Use three categories:
SAVE → Basic pieces from other seasons that you'll wear between seasons (white t-shirts, straight-leg jeans, oversized shirts, denim jackets).
STORE → all winter items: heavy coats, lined boots, thick scarves.
DONATE OR SELL → What you didn't use even once this year. If you didn't miss it, you don't need it.
2. This season's key pieces
Summer calls for comfort, lightness, and breathable materials. Our ULANKA must-haves to complete your wardrobe? Here are our top four:
Crochet ballerinas – the boho touch that transforms any basic look into one full of personality.
Leather dancers – Chic minimalism for everyday wear. Perfect with wide-legged pants, midi skirts, or flowing dresses.
Comfortable flat sandals – Think crisscross straps, cushioned insoles, and neutral colors. Your allies for the entire summer.
Jelly sandals – fun and retro. Perfect for the beach, the city, and everything in between.
3. Visual tricks to organize better
- Use boxes or baskets for accessories and light footwear.
- Organize by color and then by type (shirts, dresses, pants).
- Leave seasonal shoes in plain sight: if you see them, you wear them!
4. How to combine the new with the old
Try a mirror test: mix a piece from other seasons with a new pair of ULANKA shoes.
White dress + crochet ballerinas = instant Ibizan look.
Jeans + comfy flat sandals = elevated office staple.
Shorts + jelly sandals = total fun without losing style.
5. Your closet, your mood board
Once organized, take a photo of your favorite combinations.
Use it as a reference every morning and you'll save time and worry.
