But, honestly I don't do that as often, and in general I have more advance notice or time to do it. That means I could go gaze at items in an extra closet or drawer when putting those outfits together.<br />So, I'm going back to&nbsp;prioritizing most-worn, &nbsp;most-easily overlooked&nbsp; or, I want to use it up approach. It actually makes more sense for me to keep transition <u>season</u> or slightly off-season items (blouses, lighter weight sweaters)&nbsp;in more plain view and wear them more often or work on versatility (layering) so I don't have an entire wardrobe for each of 4 seasons by forgetting what I have or letting the clock run out on its fashion life. This still lets me store heavier wool sweaters and very light&nbsp;tops when out of season. <br />I had been <u>supposed</u> to be doing this already, but still, mostly in winter, I get the cozy sweater bug and overstock those when I could be wearing finer gauge merino or silk shirts or other knit blends indoors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans/page/2#post-1445979 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 15:18:37 +0000 viva 1445979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Folded on a closet shelf. One pile of blues, one pile of "others." But if I had a whole wall, I would hang them like Meredith's picture -- how cool!!! Who has a WHOLE WALL for denim, though????? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445965 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:43:01 +0000 Anonymous 1445965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of my jeans are folded and filed vertically in a drawer, but some ( white jeans and coated jeans) are hung in the closet. Sometimes I iron jeans and then hang them. Jeans that I've worn once and are not yet ready for the laundry get folded and put on a shelf in the closet or hung on a hook rather than put back with clean things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445875 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 08:30:24 +0000 Sal 1445875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang mine, not always that successfully to be honest. &nbsp;They often fall off the hangars. &nbsp;I could fold.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445868 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 07:06:53 +0000 Jeanie 1445868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much closet space or drawer space for bulky jeans&nbsp;so I only hang dressier pants that wrinkle. &nbsp; At one point I tried folding jeans in stacks in the closet but I couldn't see them well and the stacks would always get messed up so now&nbsp;my jeans are folded and kept in a laundry basket. &nbsp;I just pull out the basket,&nbsp;find what I need and hide it back away. &nbsp;If the stacks get messed up it is all contained so it all stays in the basket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445862 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 06:05:25 +0000 minigrrl 1445862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely folded a la KonMari method... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445798 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 02:35:30 +0000 trekkiegirl 1445798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one that rolls jeans? I have a very small space to hang things, so trousers are in there but not jeans. They don't seem to wrinkle when rolled. I roll other things too - sweaters and sometimes tshirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445755 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 01:49:39 +0000 DonnaF 1445755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang my jeans and other pants on coat/skirt hangers that hook/stack so that I hang four or five pairs at a time vertically.&nbsp; It, umm, allows me to hang more in the same amount of space.&nbsp; I hang toppers and shirts by twos.&nbsp; I don't do this as much with skirts because I have enough room for them on my lower rod.&nbsp; I'm short with correspondingly short clothing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445718 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 23:52:02 +0000 unfrumped 1445718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, waving to my epiphany twin!

Just yesterday I moved my folded jeans from the drawer into a shelf on the closet. I also&nbsp;used to hang staging items&nbsp;perpendicular over top the hanging items and like you did not like the blockage.&nbsp;I now have two coat hooks for staging mounted on the wall next to the closet. I screwed them into the studs at a distance apart about that of my body.&nbsp;(I secretly always wanted a mannequin of myself for staging! haha)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445676 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:02:08 +0000 unfrumped 1445676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I<br /> May try the drawer and see what I think. I only have about 6 pairs and each is kind of specific and 3-4 are worn less than once a month. So I wanted more " breathing room "<br /> for more frequently worn items and for the work- morning rush. </p> <p>But, at the same time I'm exploding one long- time practice , I noticed another dysfunctional system.<br /> I've used one of those over- rod " valet" hooks, that braces on the back<br /> wall , as s hook for an extra day outfit or new items or such. I've moved it around to a couple of different sections of closet rod.<br /> We, I finally figured out , heck, anything hanging on it blocks part of the upper and lower rods and caused far more visual " clutter" than any benefit of staging something there. I could easily hang next-day outfit items just at a front section of rod. Currently it was partly blocking my jeans area.<br /> I just don't have the space in the closet to use an item Lind that in a convenient way.<br /> I've take that out and liberated my brain from trying to make it work and that may improve other things as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445647 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 20:33:55 +0000 Lyn D. 1445647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are folded side-by-side in 3 wire baskets on my closet shelf.<br />I might try the folding method Adelfa linked to today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445627 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 19:28:13 +0000 Suz 1445627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Folded.

Jeans are kept in dresser drawers, even if I've worn them. I wish I could hang them on hooks to air out if they've been worn, but there's nowhere to do that. I suppose I could put a row of hooks somewhere and display all my jeans on the wall... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445607 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 18:36:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1445607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like Janet--fold mine on a shelf.

I wear jeans so frequently and have so many, that they would take up a huge amount of hanging room. I am quite content with them that way. One pile is skinnies and straights, one is bootcuts and boyfriends, and one is patterned and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445601 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 17:42:37 +0000 Adelfa 1445601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear jeans a lot, as they are important to my smart casual work wardrobe.&nbsp;I've been gradually moving towards folding (by that I mean I went from hanging, to hanging some and folding others, to folding all), and now all of my jeans are folded on a closet shelf. The key was a youtube video that showed me how to fold them neatly--it involves folding in a long thin triangle to get rid of the extra material at the crotch point, thus making a more rectangular block. I'm loving it--the stack is neat and pretty,&nbsp;I feel I can see the jeans&nbsp;all at a glance, and I don't have any trouble getting a pair from the bottom of the stack. I found a lot of videos on folding that aren't necessarily Konmari but that are very helpful.</p> <p>This is the jeans folding&nbsp;video that I used:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyalSuBIS_M">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyalSuBIS_M</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-closet-breakthroughs--foldig-vs-hanging-jeans#post-1445592 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 17:05:09 +0000 Aquamarine 1445592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang all my pants, including denim.
