Best Types of Closet Hangers and Clothes Organizers
There's lots to choose from when it comes to hangers for closet clothing, but they're not all made the same,
nor do they treat your clothing the same in terms of staining, creasing or creating unsightly bumps. A closet
may look nice and organized with all the same type of hangers but if you want to take care of your clothing,
one-size-fits-all when it comes to hangers - just doesn't work well. I've also included convenient specialty
hangers in my list because they make good use of available space.
Though you can often skip the special and use the general type of hangers for most of your family's clothing,
hangers that are special purpose do offer more convenience and some help to better organize your closet
space.
When you're buying hangers, the key quality of a good hanger is durability. Many plastic hangers have a
flimsy construction similar to those on a retail store's display racks. These don't generally last very long and
usually end up being a waste of money. So be practical and buy hangers that will last and that are
appropriate for what you are going to hang on them.
1. Traditional Wire Hangers

Wire hangers have been around for decades and you can still buy them from retailers or collect them from
dry cleaning service outlets. You can generally hang many things on these, they are practical and
affordable. They also take less space in the closet than any other type of hanger. If you can find them, wire
hangers with felt no-slip covers are best for some garments with wide necklines.
However, wire hangers tend to rust and can also leave stains on clothing. So do not hang wet or damp
clothing on a wire/metal hanger to dry. Wire hangers are generally lightweight, though some are more
durable than others. They are not the best for suits or heavy coats as they tend to sag and create wrinkles
or pleats. When it comes to dresses, it depends on the weight of the garment as to whether it will hang

properly on a wire hanger. And pants folded over a wire hanger tend to acquire knee creases when the
pants wander down to the end of the hanger.
2. Plastic Closet Hangers

Plastic hangers have gained a lot of popularity the last few years. They do not rust, there's no risk of staining
clothing, they are highly affordable, widely available and come in a variety of sizes, designs and colors.
Some are very thick, heavy and durable which is great, but they fill up your closet quickly. I do like these
however for holding folded wet pants to dry, because there's zero risk of sagging, wrinkling or knee creases.
Use these heavy hangers for pants, heavier clothing, jackets, tops and shirts.
There are lightweight varieties of plastic hangers too. These you do have to be careful with. Those that have
an extra section on the bottom part for hanging belts, are useless for hanging folded pants, since the width
crowds the fabric. And the lighter they are, the more tendency to sag fibers, snap or break under the weight.
Use the lightweight types for tops, children's clothing, lightweight dresses and shirts.
I prefer the heavier plastic hangers even though they do take at least 1/2" of space, simply because they do
a better job and last longer. If you want to organize your wardrobe, colored hangers offer lots of ways to
group like clothing. And non-slip hangers are the best for dress clothing and dresses with thin shoulder
straps.




3. Wooden Coat and Closet Hangers

Wooden coat hangers have been in use for several decades and are the best for hanging leather jackets,
winter coats and heavier clothing. They are sold with a bottom cross bar or without. The cross bar is very
handy for holding scarves or ties, or to use the hanger for pants. Though these types of hangers have slowly
been replaced with more trendy plastic hangers the last few years, many consumers have gone back to
using wooden hangers - they last forever and are best for heavy clothing and leather.
When leather is hung on a regular wire or plastic hanger, the shoulder ends of the hanger tends to poke into
and stretch out the leather, creating unsightly humps in the garment. These humps can never be removed
once the leather has been stretched. To avoid this, always hang leather jackets or blazers on a padded
wide-width wooden hanger.
Since wooden hangers are thick, they do take more room in a closet. Ideally, I use a few wooden hangers
for coats, leather and several heavy plastic hangers for most everything else, except for a few specialty
hangers.
4. Suit Valet




A suit valet is the ideal accessory for the business person. It's a freestanding rack for one suit and designed
to give the best support and provide the most convenience to the wearer. A suit valet is also a great gift
idea. The Proman Kingston III Suit Valet featured has some nice features, walnut finish and includes a
drawer for small accessories.
5. Children's Closet Hangers

Since kids' clothing varies in size, smaller hangers are the best. Most are plastic and there is quite a variety
of sizes on the market. Infant's clothing is often best on hangers similar to those used for retail display of
baby clothing, because you can often hang both the bottom and top on the same hanger. These however
are difficult to find in the market. If you buy a baby outfit for a gift, often the hanger will be included, or you
could ask that it be thrown in.
When choosing hangers for the kids, watch the size of the hanger and resist the urge to stock up on a large
supply, since they outgrow their clothes quickly. But you will want a few properly sized hangers for children's
clothes; regular sizing just doesn't work well. You can often save money by buying a group of hangers, such
as the set featured. Hangers with non-slip materials are ideal; weight is not a factor, so lightweight hangers
are fine and take less space.




6. Multi-Tiered Closet Hangers for Pants, Skirts, Blouses

There are multi-tiered hangers with clips for skirts and a bar for pants - these are super convenient but
annoying when it comes to removing clothing. There's also tiered hangers that hold several blouses or
shirts. I've used these styles of multi racks for years and found that I prefered to keep clothing on these
types of racks that I didn't wear too often. That saved some space in the closet and reduced the annoyance
of removing clothes from them. Clothing that I wear more often is kept on single hangers.
While the multi-tiered space-saving hangers do allow you to hang several items on one hanger and they
seem to work fine, it takes longer to remove the one you want that is burried within the hanger, without
partially removing another item This is a small trade-off however and the best choice if you have extremely
limited closet space and lots of clothing.
7. Pant and Skirt Hangers




Pants and skirts do better either folded over a pant hanger, a heavier plastic or wooden hanger (with
crossbar) or hung from clips on a wooden hanger. Some hangers like the ones featured have a mechanism
that presses down and holds items tight on the hanger. But there are other specialty racks that also work fine
such as multi-tiered racks or floor racks and stands.
8. Plus Size Closet Hangers

Wider hangers are definitey worth the expense when it comes to hanging plus size dresses and blouses. I
wouldn't bother for tops and pants but when it comes to nice dresses, they will hang more securely on a
wider hanger. There will also be less wrinkles.
9. Tie and Belt Organizers




Something to hang and/or organize ties and belts is a must in any closet. The size, design and function is
best chosen based on your available closet space, needs and installation required. Any type of tie and belt
hanger reduces the frustration of looking for either, saves you time and protects these accessories.
10. Freestanding or Pull-Out Pant Racks

There's a good variety of freestanding pant racks as well as component systems for closet organizers. RevA-Shelf makes a slide-out variety that maximizes convenience and makes use of limited space. Pant racks
work very well; they make locating, loading and removal a breeze and if you can designate the bottom area
of a closet for a freestanding unit or customize and organize your whole closet, you'll find it worth the
expense when it comes to convenience, saving time and space.
11. Shoe Racks and Organizers




From freestanding shelving to behind-the-door hangers, there's a wide range of organizers and racks to
store shoes. Without a shoe organizer, you'll spend lots of time looking beneath and behind clothing or at
the back of the closet to find a matching pair of shoes. Organize your life and save the hassle with a shoe
organizer or rack. Find one that holds the right amount for your needs, fits within your available space or in
the closet and enjoy the convenience a shoe organizer affords.
Shoe organizers vary in price, quality and design, so choose carefully. Just a note that not all shoe heel
types will fit well in an organizer or rack, so keep that in mind when shopping. A shoe rack is also very handy
at an entrance or in a mud room where coats and other outdoor accessories are kept.
12. Closet Organizers and Systems

If your closet needs some organizing, there are several options from modular shelving and drawers to full
closet racking systems. Sometimes just a simple shelf tower in the closet can provide that extra space for
accessories and storage. You can often grow a closet organizer by components or go all out with a full
closet system.
The Jean Louis Home Standard Shelving System featured is a good example of a stylish, adjustable
shelving closet system. I don't know anyone that has ever regretted putting in a closet organizer. It will
maximize available space, help you organize what you have and save you time and frustration in the long
run.
Choose a closet system carefully. Be sure to measure your interior closet space and check installation
requirements before buying to ensure it fits well and works for you. Plan the space to accommodate long
dresses, as well as shorter hanging areas for shirts, tops and pants. Cubicles are extremely handy for
sweaters and other bulky items that seldom fit in drawers and shelving is a must for stored items, hats and
purses. Closet systems are usually adjustable to some degree to accommodate the average closet. Prices
vary depending on quality, construction, components, size and function.




13. When There Are No Closets - Solutions

ometimes a home has little to no closets in bedrooms, hallways or near the entrances. This is where you
can get creative and find a way to organize your belongings while keeping them handy, ready-to-wear and
clean. If you have the space, a freestanding wardrobe gives you closed hanging room and usually a few
shelves or drawers. Make sure to measure your available space and to inquire as to whether the wardrobe
you choose comes assembled; some do not.
Other options include a hall tree by the entrance, a rolling clothing rack in a bedroom or in the laundry area
and wall-mounted coat racks or hooks. These are also handy in the basement to store off-season coats and
clothing.
14. Make Room for New Clothing - Reorganize, Declutter & Donate

Before or while adding those new hangers and closet organizers, take the time to declutter, discard and
donate those items that you seldom wear for whatever reason. Take a minute to store off-season clothes or
precious items that are better protected in storage containers.




I've heard it said that if you haven't worn it in two years, you don't need it. Now I have a hard time adhering
to that rule myself, but I do have to do a little purge every year. Otherwise, I'd have no room for new, trendy
styles - I have a small closet. A good rule of thumb is for every item taken in, something has to go. There
are lots of donation centers when it comes to used clothing and accessories.
