At this time of year, as I do laundry I begin to store 'out of season' clothing. I live on the East Coast so we need to start eliminating sweaters and long sleeved items from our closet.
I do laundry in the basement, and we store our off season clothes down there too. When I empty the dryer and see a sweater or long sleeved item, I put it on a hanger and find a place for it in the storage area. This way they are not brought upstairs to make the closets cluttered and tight.
When I eliminate a winter item, I reintroduce a summer item to my closet. A simple idea which works great as you go.

Since I have the space, I keep my late fall and winter clothes on one side of the closet and the spring, summer, and early fall clothes on the other side.
Store out of season clothing in a garbage can topped with a round table top and cloth. This can serve as a side table, night stand, etc.
