T-shirts: folded in a drawer or hanging in the closet?

[echoshifting]

I'm organizing my closet in my new place and I find myself stuck with an old dilemma I've never been able to come to a solid conclusion on: how to store t-shirts

I find when I hang them in the closet the neckholes seem to get a little stretched over time. But when I pull them out of a drawer the creaselines seem nigh-inescapable.

Help me era. Hangs or folds?

...fold them in the drawer? I just shove em in

Hanging messes up the collars faster. Folding them in a drawer or shelf.

Roll your shirts

 

[Ramako]

Creases can be ironed out. Nothing you can do to fix a loose collar.

 

[BasilZero]

Both folded and in the closet

not if you put the hanger through the bottom

T-shits in drawers,
button-downs hung,
polo-shirts, half hung, half in drawers.

 

[CielYoshi]

Folded in a closet :P

 

[scottbeowulf]

Hang em in the closet. But not by suits. I don't own a suit.

I've hung them all my life but would fold them if I had the drawer space. Hell I hardly have the closet space either

 

[mute]

I always fold them, don't care about wrinkles.

 

[sfedai0]

Unfolded and in my dryer. Can you guess if Im a bachelor or not?

 

[Walter White Walker]

I just toss them in a drawer. I ain't folding shit.

 

[MIMIC]

Non-undershirt t-shirts? I just hang them up. Never experienced (or noticed) any issues with the neck of the shirts.

 

[Tathanen]

Hang button- and zip-ups, fold tshirts and long-sleevers.

 

[julia crawford]

hum, yeah, folded, sure

they're folded

 

[Dennis8K]

I take em straight from the dryer.

Why fold them just to have to unfold them later ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Rizific]

house shirts are folded and in a drawer. "going out" shirts are hung in the closet.

 

[GK86]

I do both. Newer shirts I hang them. Older shirts I fold them.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Folded in a drawer, but I haven't even used an iron for about 5 or 6 years so what do I know.

 

[Tavernade]

I keep them in a big pile in the hamper I take them out of the dryer with. Either no one has noticed the wrinkles/creases or all my friends and co-workers are too polite to.

To clarify I am talking about the latter group. Nobody would hang their old trashy shirts or undershirts, right?

 

[HStallion]

Wadded up and tossed on a huge pile on the floor.

 

[Joni]

Folded. I have way too many of them to hang them. Especially as I also have a lot of dress shirts I need to hang

This is the way.

 

[Veezy]

I have quite the scientific method.

1. Do laundry.
2. Pull out of drier into hamper.
3. Pour into a larger hamper on the floor.

It's been a weird 12 months.

Closet.

If you have more closet space: hang them.

If you have more drawer space: fold them.

If you have tons of both: get more clothes.

 

[Kewlmyc]

Both. Hang up the ones you wear when you head out. Fold and put away the ones you wear while lounging at the house.

 

[FinFunnels]

Underwear, socks, ties in drawers. Shirts, pants and coats hung in closet.

 

[Bing147]

They all get hung up. Shirts and dress pants are hunt. Any other pants, along with shorts/socks/underwear get folded in the drawers. My wife folds her sleep shirts but I don't wear one, just sleep in a pair of gym shorts most nights.

 

[Piston]

My nicer t-shirts I keep hung in the closet with my work polos and other collared shirts.

My workout or chilling t-shirts I fold/stuff into a drawer because they either don't wrinkle or I don't care if they do wrinkle.

 

[Tunesmith]

T-shirt's get rolled up and put on a shelf. That way they can be stacked, and no creases.

 

[SwampBastard]

Folded Marie Kondo-style.

 

[Saganator]

If I had more closet space I'd hang everything except my underwear. Hate folding clothes

 

[Zoidn]

Both. Some are folded some hanging, though I am thinking about trying some of the things people mentioned here.

 

[thewienke]

Collared shirts are hung and t-shirts into the drawer

Used to hang new tshirts but honestly I mostly wear basic white tshirts during the summer months if I'm out at the grocery store or working in the yard or whatever. I tend to wear button downs for every other occasion.

Hmmm, interesting! I like this.

 

[Deleted member 6263]

Both. I hang my nicer tshirts and fold the ones I wear around the house.

 

[Tabs2002]

I don't have enough drawer space. I hang them.

 

[Grym]

I hang them because I'm lazy and that is faster than folding everything

 

[carlsojo]

Marie Kondo.

Tidy up.

 

[Sanjuro]

They wait in the hamper until my return

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Just put in an Ikea reach in system in our laughably small main bedroom closet that just had a hanging rack and a shelf. Only my wife's stuff could fit in.

After I installed it and with some downsizing of stuff we haven't worn in forever, both of our things can fit, except specialty items like coats and long gowns for her. Before all of my stuff had to be in a different bedroom.

Anyway as part of that, the system had some drawers. So I now hang dress shirts/slacks on the rack. But t-shirts get rolled, undershirts get folded, and collared non-dress shirts get folded in the drawers.

 

[Couleurs]

I've always hung mine since I tend to have more closet space than I do drawer space. My necks don't seem to get stretched enough to become annoying, so it isn't a big deal to me.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

A mix of both *shrug*

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Both. Shirts I wear around the house in a drawer. Fancy shirts I wear about town hang neatly in my closet.

 

[HiLife]

Seems like a quick way to stretch out the neck. The only things that should be hung up are buttons ups and jackets and dress pants. Everything else gets rolled, or folded into bins. Even the nicer plain tees you'd wear out (school, restaurants) are folded. I just separate them between the lounging drawer and the "going out" drawer.

 

[G_Shumi]

I fold them the Marie Kondo way and put them in a drawer.
