Although it may seem trivial at first, storing and organizing clothes can cause real headaches. For many, hanging clothes is an excellent alternative to folding them in drawers so that they do not have to be ironed with each new use. But there are other occasions in which the clothes themselves require a place in the closet, such as coats or long dresses. The problem comes when the length of these and the available space in the closet do not correspond, for example, if there are drawers. Luckily, viral TikTok tricks come to the rescue.
The key to being able to correctly store this type of clothing and hang the clothes so that they do not wrinkle has to do with the technique used to fold them. That is, if you follow a series of steps, coats, dresses and long pants will be neatly stored on their hanger. So there will be no wardrobe that is too short that will resist them. Of course, at first you will have to be patient, since it can be somewhat cumbersome. However, with practice it won’t take more than a few seconds.
Long dresses, especially maxi ones, are usually one of the most uncomfortable items in the closet, as they often drag and their hem ends up becoming a snag. TikTok user @abbyorganizes shares three different tricks to prevent this from happening. The first of them, recommended for those with thin straps, consists of hanging the dress on the hanger so that it hangs divided in half, well stretched so that it does not wrinkle. Next, it is folded until the straps are hung from the hook on the hanger.
The second alternative is suitable for all types of dresses; simply place it on a hanger as you would normally do. Just adding a second one that is responsible for collecting half of the skirt, excellent for saving space. For its part, the third trick seems similar to the first, since both start the same: placing the dress so that it hangs in the middle. The difference is that this option is designed for dresses with sleeves, since these will be inserted through the hanger normally.
The viral TikTok trick for hanging long coats comes from user @homde_tips and requires paying more attention to the technique.
When hanging long pants, it will largely depend on whether or not they have belt loops. This time it is the user @thestagewalk who has the solution for both cases. If the garment comes with belt loops, it will be very simple, since you will only have to hang the pants by these on the hanger and collect the hem so that it takes up much less space.
But if you don’t have these, it will be a little more laborious. This time, the pants, folded in half, will rest lengthwise on the hanger, so that they are stretched and one leg falls down. This should be passed over one of the sides of the hanger again, tangling it, so that it is perfect.
