HANG OR FOLD?

Don’t have to be ashamed if you are unconfident about which garments to fold and which garments to hang. You would be astonished how many men mistreat the basics. Here’s a quick run through of what you should  know and what kind of clothes belong to a rack and what in a drawer.

HANG IT:

Suits

It is probably a good  thought to invest in some best-quality hangers for your suits. Hangers made using  solid wood with a strong bar across the middle will be a smart move. Ensure that you don’t hang your suit pants on any hanger with clips.

Shirts

There is no hard and fast rule as to whether hanging or folding your shirts is the best choice. There are men who prefer to hang, and others prefer to fold. It’s all about  preference and the space availability.

Ties

A creased, untidy tie can completely ruin an otherwise slick outfit. Ties should most certainly be hung on a tie rack to keep them firm, crisp and wrinkle free.

Pants

A good rule of thumb for your pants is to hang them over your hanger with about a third of the way up the leg. This will preserve the crease looking defined and avoid needless wrinkles.

FOLD IT:

T Shirts and Polo’s

Neatly folded T Shirts and Polo’s will retain their style and shape for longer. They can live happily in a drawer instead of a hanger. J

Jumpers and Sweaters

It is important to fold your jumpers and sweaters mildly, especially the ones made with wool. Hanging such items will lead to loss of shape. It is always better to place them in a drawer or on a shelf.
