While revamping your wardrobe may seem like a difficult (and not to mention tedious) task, New York-based wardrobe stylist <a href=\"https:\/\/samanthabrownstyle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samantha Brown<\/a> suggests that it can actually be quite easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>To help make those necessary updates to your closet, we asked Brown what you\u2019ll want to toss or keep. From shoes to sundresses, here is how to properly prep your closet for fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toss items with visible wear<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cToss any items that show visible wear and tear from the summer,\u201d Brown says. Anything with sunscreen stains, tears, or damage from constant exposure to the hot weather should be purged before fall begins, she advises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep your sundresses<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough you may not be exposing as much skin in the fall, Brown recommends keeping those cute sundresses nearby, as you can easily pair them with tights, boots, and a leather jacket to transition them into the cooler months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t put away your crop tops just yet<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cCrop tops look great when layered over a thin turtleneck or button-down,\u201d Brown says. \u201cThis helps give them life in a new season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evaluate your shoe collection<\/strong><br \/>\nBrown also recommends taking a look at your shoe collection as summer draws to a close because the wear and tear of the summer season can leave your sandals or sneakers damaged beyond repair. \u201cCast away anything that\u2019s been overly beat up on your summer vacations,\u201d Brown explains. \u201cIf they are beyond a sprucing from your shoemaker, it\u2019s time for them to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t be afraid to go through your closet<\/strong><br \/>\nThe end of a season always provides a great opportunity to make those hard decisions, Brown suggests. So if you didn\u2019t wear something all summer, ask yourself why. \u201cIf the piece is no longer working for you, add it to the donation pile,\u201d she advises. \u201cYou\u2019ll end up with more closet space, and someone else may be able to enjoy it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n<p>One clothing item that can be worn at any time of the year?
