I have spring/summer clothing on one side of my closet and fall/winter clothing on the other side.
Garments are separated by category--i.e., shirts and blouses, knit tops, sweaters. Within each category garments are then sorted by color ranging from lightest to darkest.
Spring/summer clothing presents more categories as tops are also separated by sleeveless, short sleeve, elbow length and long sleeve.
ETA: I hang ALL my clothes--even my pjs. I absolutely hate folding clothing.
My shoes/boots are on the closet floor in original boxes. I have 2 shelves over the rods and that is where I store my handbags, jewelry box and perfumes.
