So I bought some new clothing over Memorial Day weekend and I realized that I hang some of my pants, yet fold some away into my dresser.
I do not like hanging them because it seems like over time, especially with denim, it warps the middle of the hangers (plastic ones, hate metal). On the other hand I do not have room to put all of my pants into a dresser, they get bulky and take up too much room.
Obviously my suite and dress pants are hanging in my closet.

So, I was just curious what everybody else did or maybe get some new ideas on how to store clothing.

Anybody have shelving in their closet they use to store their folded clothes, or just have some huge dresser that holds it all?

Fold jeans. Hang everything else. Slacks especially should not be folded. Unless you want to look like my one professor who had horizontal creases in his slacks because he folded them. Looked like a friggin' idiot.

When hanging slacks though, it's important to use hangers designed for hanging slacks. These usually have a much thicker bar on the bottom.

Hang all pants. Don't use regular hangers at all. I use these

I dn't like the ones with the metal clips because sometiems it messes with the fabric.

Do you guys remember that "I'm a gansta wannabe.. look at my bare ass" look a couple of years ago? The pants would be hanging from the knee caps, and all you would notice are boxers.

mmm...depends on how lazy I am at the time. I have a lot of pant hangers (the one ended metal ones), but most of them are used for semi-dress to dress pants, plus some khakis.

I hang my good pants and shirts, and have the wife iron them when I want to wear them.

I leave everything in the dryer until I need it. As I wash clothes I just add them to the ones already in the dryer and redry everything. It saves a lot of work.
