Folding clothes can help to prevent wrinkles and save space in your wardrobe. Hanging clothes can stretch and distort their shape over time, especially for knitwear. Folding is a gentler option and can prolong the life of your garments.
For t-shirts and casual shirts, the file fold method is ideal. Place the shirt face down, fold one side over to the middle, then repeat with the other side, and finally, fold the sleeves back towards the middle. For formal shirts, the military fold is best. Button the shirt, then fold it in half lengthwise. Next, fold the sleeves back, and finally, fold the shirt into thirds. For pants, lay them flat and smooth out any wrinkles. Fold one leg over to the middle, then repeat with the other leg, and finally, fold the pants in half.
The file fold method is a space-saving technique, especially useful for t-shirts and casual shirts. It creates a compact, rectangular shape. For pants, you can also save space by folding them in half after completing the standard pant-folding technique.
Hanging clothes can be beneficial for certain items, such as suits and formal dresses, as it helps to maintain their shape and structure. Hanging also allows air to circulate, which can be helpful for items that need to breathe, like coats and jackets.
Smooth out any wrinkles before you start folding, and ensure your clothes are completely dry before putting them away. You can also use acid-free tissue paper to help keep clothes wrinkle-free and absorb any excess moisture.
