Closet Conumdrum

Starting the new year, we’ve focused in the LOOKING GOOD online community on organizing the contents of our closets.  Here are a few of the tips we’ve been discussing.

If your closet is double-hung, maximize visibility by putting your bottom garments (pants/slirts) on the top rod and the top garments (blouses, sweaters, jackets) on the bottom rod.

Keep top garments  from slipping off by using the Home Basics non-slip hangers from Wayfair.  Thin profile lets you fit more garments into a given space, whilethe textured surface is easier to get items off compared to the traditional velvet or flocked styles.  Alternatively, I also like the swiver-hook plastic hangers that make it easy to hang all my garments facing the same direction.

For pants, I love the “Z” style MAWA pant hanger, also from Wayfair.  It stores pants in shorter space without forming a at the knee level, and lets you quickly slip the garment off the lower bar .  Plus the higher profile means you’ll have more space on the shelf below the pants for other items.

Camisoles and tanks are effective, affordable wardrobe stretchers.  Keep them readily accessble on a multi-hook rack — screw-in (Brush Bronze Belt Rack – Wayfair.com) or over the door style  (super-affordable from Dollar Tree) – or just a row of ordiinary cup hooks from Lowe’s.
