Hang Sweaters Around--Not On--Hangers to Avoid Wrinkles


Hanging sweaters isn't rocket science, but even the nicest hangers can result in wrinkled shoulders or unwanted creases. This folding method, on the other hand, avoids all of that by essentially "wrapping" your sweater around the neck of the hanger. Here's how it works.

The folks at SnapGuide have a full step-by-step below, but in short, you want to lay your sweater out, fold it in half vertically down the center line, then place your hanger in the armpit. Then fold the arms over one side of the hanger, and the body of the sweater over the other.

The gif above shows you how it's done, and the one below shows you what the finished product should look like. If you fold this way, your sweater is secure, won't fall off the hanger in the closet (although it may not be best pressed up against other clothes, so give it some room) and when you take it off the hanger, it'll be ready to wear. Best of all, no shoulder bumps or creases.
