Opening up a beautifully organized drawer of lingerie each morning can be one of life’s small pleasures. Here’s how to straighten out a tangled mass of straps, hooks, and unmatched fabrics.

Step 1: Out with the Old

Your first job is to take all your underwear and dump it out on the bed. Why? Because before you can organize, you need to do some winnowing. But editing underwear is easy because you have to deal with only two piles: things to keep and things to throw away. No maybes. No maybe-it’ll-come-back-in-fashions. No giveaways. Please.

Step 2: In With the New

Lingerie is a personal matter, and so is the amount of lingerie you choose to own. For the minimalist, a few sets of cotton panties and stretchy camisoles are enough; for the collector, lace-trimmed, leopard-print teddies are just the beginning. But if you want to simplify your life, you need: (a) enough plain, everyday underwear to get you through the week without having to do laundry; and (b) the kind of special-occasion lingerie that answers questions like, “What am I supposed to wear under that?” Between what you own and what you’re going to go out and buy, you should have:

Step 3. Arrange

Once you’ve whittled down your lingerie collection and filled in the gaps, create a storage system that will allow you to see what you have and find things quickly.
If you have an extensive collection of lingerie, you might consider investing in a chest you can devote to it. But if that’s not a possibility, keep in mind this simple secret to organizational success: drawer dividers. “They’re the best way to go,” says Ginny Snook Scott, the chief design officer at the home-organizing company California Closets. “We make ones that divide a drawer into 12 squares, and they’re made of acrylic, since wood can snag.” You can buy similar products at Organize-It and have them custom-fit for your drawers.

Step 4 Care and Handling

There’s a reason your mother bought you those panties with the days of the week embroidered on them when you were little. You need a fresh pair every day. And in a perfect world, you’d have just as many bras. But for most busy women, laundering bras every two or three wears is more realistic. Be sure to close the bras so that their hooks won’t snag on anything. Delicate items—bras or panties—should be hung or laid flat on a towel to air-dry.
