| It's an age-old question that many of us have pondered while putting away fresh laundry: Is it better to fold or hang your clothes? The answer is different depending on the garments in question. Items such as bulky sweaters, shorts, and activewear are better off folded and tucked into drawers or shelves, while dresses, jackets, and linens look best hung up. However, there's one wardrobe staple that can go either way, and that's a pair of jeans. To fold or not to fold completely depends on your space and personal preference, but if you'd rather hang your jeans, we found a clever hack to make your closet look like it was organized by a pro. |

| Perfectly hung denim starts with a matching set of hangers, specifically those with a flocked velvet coating and crossbar. Flocked hangers are preferred as they are nonslip and space-saving. With a slimmer design, you can squeeze more clothes into your closet — and who doesn't want that? |
| Using an appropriate hanger, take your jeans and fold them in half vertically with the back pockets facing out. Starting from the bottom, slip the legs of the jeans through the hanger, stopping about one-third of the way up. Hook the backside belt loop over the neck of the hanger, and there you have it. Make your way through the rest of your denim collection and watch as this hack completely changes how you organize your wardrobe. |
| Hanging your jeans this way keeps them looking neat and tidy and is also incredibly easy to master. It can prevent them from creasing or wrinkling, making it easy to grab-and-go without having to steam or iron your favorite pair of kick flares. In a matter of minutes (or longer, depending on how many pairs of jeans you have), you can create a closet that feels like a high-end denim boutique. |

 | | Fontaines Black Velvet Non-Slip Clothes Hangers, 50-Pack | | Denim should be washed infrequently to maintain its color and shape. Hanging your jeans — instead of folding them — allows for better ventilation, keeping them fresher for longer. The space-saving hangers in this set of 50 are covered in nonslip velvet with a crossbar for draping pant legs. — Kelsey Morrison, House Outlook Editor |
