I used to keep everything in a closed box in my closet, but I found that I rarely used them. These handy dandy hangers have brought them out to play waaaaaay more often.   Thistle on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072753 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 03:25:00 +0000 Thistle 1072753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also have a hanger designed for scarves with small holes that hold my scarves. karymk on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072691 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 02:35:25 +0000 karymk 1072691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I sort of softly roll my silk scarves and then pop them into this hanging lingerie holder thing that hangs from a closet rod.  The bigger ones, like for winter etc, I fold lightly and stack on a shelf.

That was from JCrew last year. LOVE that one. Amazing how much it goes with.

The multilayer pants hanger is intriguing me as is rolling them in a drawer. Seems like my current way is not too bad either. But can I just say, Janet, WOW! But can I have the 4th one from the right on the bottom shelf in pic 2? Surely you wouldn't miss it! rachylou on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072674 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 02:25:59 +0000 rachylou 1072674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Folded in drawers.

Here are photos of my solution. We have an antique armoire in the corner of our room that holds my accessories, jewelry, novelty tees, workout clothes, and swimwear. I have bins on wire shelves that hold the scarves in neat rows. I pull a bin out like a drawer when I need a scarf. Works well for me!

It is clearly apparent when I take them off a scarf hanger that they were looped through it a certain way, and they have the creases to show for it. So I keep mine gently folded in a velvet box on a shelf. Because they get folded slightly differently each time, the creases never have a chance to really develop, and the box is moveable so it is easy to take it off a shelf to see what is in it.  Suz on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072567 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:51:35 +0000 Suz 1072567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Peri, you and I are soul sisters. We ask so many of the same questions!  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves">Here's my thread on this a while ago that got tons of great responses! </a> Since then, I've been using one of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/80107974/">those IKEA boxes f</a>or mine. It's not ideal (some of them get a bit wrinkly) but it's also really space saving in my cupboard and I think it keeps me from buying too many without purging, you know? I do keep scarves a really long time (like decades) and I think that's okay. But at a certain point it's nice to refresh them a bit and get rid of the chaff.  MsMaven on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072541 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:21:37 +0000 MsMaven 1072541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do the same as you, Peri.  I've tried many ways, but this works.  I've folded and rolled and used scarf hangars and it doesn't work.  I need them hanging neatly in my closet where I can see and choose the ones I want.   Actually I think this is an excellent method:  you are recycling resources and using them wisely!

Anonymous on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072527 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:10:12 +0000 Anonymous 1072527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have lots of scarves. The ones most in rotation for the season are stored rolled in a shallow dresser drawer. Others are stored divided by major color in clear plastic shoe boxes stacked in my closet and are still easy access. I hope to edit down my clothes enough this year to make room to hang the most used in the closet on those pant hangers that hold 4-5 pairs of pants on bars.

I need to change this, so that I can see them all and choose the one is better for the outfit I am planning. I had though of simply hanging them all in a regular clothes hanger, maybe with the help of pegs for the small scarves. I think this might work. I have a total of about 8-10 scarves.

I used to be such a scarf person but only seem to wear them for warmth now.

If you do want to use a drawer you can wrap them around your hand and place them in a single layer, easy to see and no tangles. qfbrenda on "How do you store your scarves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves-1#post-1072513 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 23:58:24 +0000 qfbrenda 1072513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's very close to what I do.  I have one hanger that is designed for scarves with actual holes in it.  I also have pants hangers with shower curtain loops that I put the scarves through.  I like it much better than digging through a drawer and the scarves have a chance to air out.

They are kind of piled on and take 2 or 3 hangers. I'm wondering what is a better way.
