衣替えのタイミングはいつ?

昼間は暖かく、夜には冷んやりするこの季節、着るものに悩みますよね。

私の場合、このタイミングで冬から春への衣替えを始めます。

一つめの理由は、本格的に春シーズンが始まる前に手持ちの服を把握しておく為。これは、新シーズンの買い物計画に必要不可欠な要素です。

二つめは、仕舞う前と出す前のお手入れをする為。秋冬に活躍してくれた服たちをクリーニングに出すのは勿論、コートのブラッシング、毛玉取り、アイロンがけ、ボタン糸のゆるみのチェック。

これから着る春夏の服のクリーニングやホームクリーニング、糸の始末、スチームアイロンで収納時のこもった匂い取り、などなど。

お手頃な服でも、お手入れして清潔感を保ちたいところです。

アラフォー、アラフィフ、アラカンと、大人の熟れた女性には、清潔感が何より大切、全体的なトーンを上げたいですね。

そんな事を思いながら、いよいよくたびれて来たお疲れ様アイテムの処分もします。染み抜きなどのお手入れを繰り返しても、どうしても清潔感が保てなくなってしまった服。特に、劣化してしまった白い服は、感謝の念を示しつつ潔く処分します。

処分と言ってもゴミ箱直行ではなく、

❶部屋着にする

❷フリマアプリなどでリサイクル出来るレベルの物はする

❸端切れにして家事で活用させる。

と、スタメンとして着る以外にもまだまだ活躍の場があります。

ここ数年は、各メゾンがリサイクルに力を入れて、サステナブルな素材や商品作りに取り組んでいますよね。一消費者としても、その理念に賛同し、出来る事をやりたいと思っています。完璧には行きませんが、負担にならない範囲で。

ハイブランドでもファストファッションでも、買う時にその服の最後の活用法までを考えて買う様に意識しています。

それは、エコの為でもあるし、買っても殆ど着ない服=不良債権を抱えるストレスを避ける為にも。

シーズン初めの衣替えからお買い物計画を立てる事は、少数精鋭のクローゼット作りを目指している私にとって、凄く重要です。

一旦やり始めると一人ファッションショーを始めてしまい、途中でやめられないから時間の掛かる衣替え。つい後回しにしてしまう衣替え。

好きな音楽を聴きながら、美味しいチョコレートと珈琲の休憩を挟みつつ、この春は攻めの姿勢で楽しんでみませんか?

When is the right time to change clothes?

During this season, when the days are warm and the nights are cool, it is hard to decide what to wear.

In my case, this is when I start to change my clothes from winter to spring.

The first reason is to get an idea of what I have on hand before the spring season begins in earnest. This is an essential part of the new season’s shopping plan.

The second reason is to take care of the clothes before putting them away or taking them out. In addition to taking the clothes that have served you well during the fall and winter to the cleaners, you should also brush coats, remove furballs, iron, and check for loose button threads.

We also clean and home-clean the spring and summer clothes that will be worn in the future, take care of the threads, steam iron to remove odors from storage, and so on.

Even affordable clothing needs to be taken care of and kept clean.

For mature, mature women, whether they are ara-four, ara-fifteen, or ara-can, cleanliness is most important, and we want to raise the overall tone of our clothes.

With this in mind, we are finally getting rid of tired and tired items. Clothes that just can’t seem to stay clean anymore, even after repeated stain removal and other care. In particular, white clothes that have deteriorated will be disposed of gracefully while showing our gratitude.

When we say dispose, we don’t mean go straight to the trash.

Use as loungewear

❶ to be used as loungewear

❷For items that can be recycled through flea market apps, etc., do so.

❸Turn them into scraps and have them used for household chores.

and there are still other places to use it besides wearing it as a staple.

In the past few years, each maison has been focusing on recycling and working to create sustainable materials and products, right? As a consumer, I agree with this philosophy and want to do what I can. Not to perfection, but to the extent that it is not a burden.

Whether I buy high-brand or fast-fashion clothes, I try to think about how I will use the clothes at the end of my life when I buy them.

This is both for the sake of ecology and to avoid the stress of holding on to clothes that are bought but rarely worn, i.e., bad debt.

It is very important for me to make a shopping plan from the first change of clothes at the beginning of the season, as I aim to create a closet of the elite few.

Changing clothes takes time because once you start, you start a one-man fashion show and you can’t stop halfway through. I can’t stop in the middle of the process, so it’s a time-consuming change of clothes that I end up putting off.

Why don’t you enjoy being on the offensive this spring while listening to your favorite music and taking a break for a delicious chocolate and coffee?
