Fall Fashion Refresh: Breathe New Life into Your Wardrobe with Shores Fine Dry Cleaning

As the leaves begin to change and a crisp breeze fills the air, it’s the perfect time to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall. But before you rush out and buy a whole new set of clothes, consider these tips to update your closet and maximize the life of your existing wardrobe with a little help from Shores Fine Dry Cleaning!

Declutter & Deep Clean

• Start fresh: Take everything out of your closet and drawers. Donate or sell items that no longer fit or flatter your style.
• Assess your fall/winter wardrobe: Sort through your remaining pieces and identify any clothes in need of repair, cleaning, or alterations.
• We’re here to help: Shores Fine Dry Cleaning offers expert dry cleaning and alteration services to ensure your favorite pieces are ready for the season. Bring in those items that need a professional touch, like a sweater that needs a missing button repaired, or a wool coat that requires dry cleaning.

Focus on Versatility & Classic Style

• Invest in quality pieces: Opt for classic styles and neutral colors that can be easily mixed and matched. A versatile trench coat, a well-fitting pair of dark wash jeans, and a variety of layering tees can create countless outfit combinations.
• Think long-term: Instead of trendy pieces, focus on timeless styles that you can wear for years to come. Shores Fine Dry Cleaning is committed to helping you extend the life of your favorite garments by providing expert cleaning and care that keeps them looking their best. This is especially important for delicate, dry-clean-only items like silk blouses or cashmere sweaters.

Embrace the Art of Layering

North Carolina’s fall weather is perfect for layering. Stock up on versatile layering pieces like turtlenecks, cardigans, and light jackets. These pieces can be easily added or removed throughout the day to adjust for changing temperatures.

Maximize Your Storage

Store summer clothes efficiently by following these tips:

• Clean and inspect: Ensure all items are clean and free of stains or odors. Repair any minor damage before storing.
• Fold or hang properly: Fold delicate fabrics like sweaters and blouses. Hang heavier items like dresses and coats to prevent wrinkles.
• Use breathable storage bags: Avoid using plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and cause mildew. Opt for breathable garment bags or linen storage bins.
• Protect against pests: Store items with cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths and other pests.
• Label clearly: Label storage containers or bags with the contents to easily locate items next season.

Need more space? If your closet is full, Shores Fine Dry Cleaning offers convenient and affordable clothing storage options to keep your out-of-season items safe and fresh until next year.

Refresh Your Accessories

• Don’t forget the details: Shoes and handbags can instantly elevate an outfit. Polish your favorite shoes or bring in a bag that needs a repair to Shores. We also offer services for repairing accessories to extend the life of your favorite pieces.

By following these tips and utilizing Shores Fine Dry Cleaning’s expert services, you can create a stylish and versatile fall wardrobe without breaking the bank. Remember, quality over quantity! Invest in classic pieces that you love, take good care of them with professional cleaning and alterations, and get creative with layering to maximize your existing wardrobe.
