Hello i'm wondering if ts better to hang or to fold your clothes. I know some people hang everything from tank tops to jeans to t-shirts. Others i know fold up most of their things including dresses skirts etc. others go half and half. What is better for clothes and what do you guys think? I did some search and i came across the results below:

Do they work for you?


1. Wool sweaters. Hanging will stretch out the neck and shoulders.

2. Cotton anything. Folding will result in you having to iron and we want to avoid that at all costs.

3. Linen anything. The same reason as cotton, but even more so.

4. Jeans, corduroys, and chinos. Pants and shorts made from rugged material can be stored either way.

5. Trousers. They tend to wrinkle easily and hanging them circles back to that "avoid the iron at all costs" rule.

6. Blazers. For obvious reasons.

7. Ties. A tie rack is a very worthy investment because these buggers wrinkle easily. But you could also roll up your ties and store 'em in PVC pipes.

8. Belts. Hang them over the hook of a hanger, or roll them up and stick 'em in a drawer/PVC pipe like your ties.

9. Shirts. Hanging means no wrinkles, and no wrin... well, you get the point.

10. T-shirts. Much like a wool sweater, hanging a tee will stretch out the neck and shoulders, resulting in unsightly bumps. (Check out this piece for a simple way to get rid of hanger bumps.)

11. Knitwear. Because, if hung, it'll stretch out worse than your wool sweaters and t-shirts.

Its all about choice

anything below the waist: fold... anything above the waist: hang
