Strategies for Identifying Clothing

• Use Touch
  You can tell many items of clothing apart just by touch. Your brown skirt, for example, may be the only one with a lining. Your green shirt, on the other hand, may be the only one you own made of corduroy.
• Use Braille Labels
  If you know Braille, you can use Braille color-identification tags. Just sew them onto the label or some other inconspicuous place in the garment.
• Tactile Identifiers
  You can also use a variety of other tactile identification methods. Create your own color-identification system, for example, using safety pins, French knots, or notches cut into the labels of your garments. One notch or pin could signify white, two black, three blue, and so on.

Matching Socks

• Sock color can be identified in several ways. You can tell some socks apart by style and texture. Use safety pins, sock clips, or sock sorters to keep them paired, both in the drawer and in the laundry. Try folding like colors in the same way or storing them together.

Coordinating Shoes

• A little ingenuity can also help you keep your shoes matched. Put like colors together on the same row of your shoe rack.
• Store shoes of the same style but different color in boxes marked with Braille, staples, or rubber bands.
• Put different kinds of laces in laced shoes of the same style.

Organize Your Closet!

• Hang coordinates together.
• Group garments by color and type.
• Hang ties with the jackets they match.
• Store your silver jewelry in one place and gold in another.
• Explore your favorite stores for handy wardrobe organizers.
