I have been thinking of you. </p> <p>Generally, I store items the same way whether they are in or out of season. So I keep a lot of my items (including pants) on hangers, but fold my jeans. Haven't try to roll them, but perhaps it is worth trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281962 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 19:10:37 +0000 Janet 2281962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both. Hanging items get moved into a basement closet, still hanging. Folded items go in storage containers, still folded. It makes switching out seasonally go quicker, if you have the corresponding storage space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281943 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 17:35:33 +0000 LJP 2281943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both for me . Blazers , dressier pants , blouses - remain hung up but in a diff closet . Other items including footwear go in big Rubbermaid totes and are stacked up to the ceiling by my exasperated husband . Fun job he has </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281933 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 16:06:12 +0000 unfrumped 2281933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it has depended on how much gaming space. I hang a LOT of my clothes, including things other people usually fold, and so if I can keep them on the same hanger it’s easier to swap in &amp; out. I especially like to keep hanging items that are mid- weight , “ shoulder season” that I often move out in high summer or deep winter if I want more breathing space but may run and get when weather is fickle. I keep most of my pants hanging off- season except fleece and exercise types. When I had more “ long” hanging space I used a lot of clamp hangers to avoid creasing.<br /> Convenience is important to me- I have to put some things on a higher shelf so try to target folding stuff like deep winter that I’ll likely get out all at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281931 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 16:03:32 +0000 Roberta 2281931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here is Martha Stewart's take:</p> <p><a href="https://www.marthastewart.com/268737/hanging-vs-folding-clothing" rel="nofollow">https://www.marthastewart.com/.....g-clothing</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281926 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 15:38:05 +0000 Roberta 2281926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have always hung my pants, on those hangers that allow you to have multiple pairs. That is because I had room in my second closet to do so. But I've never liked the crease that they come out with after months of being stored that way. I think I might try rolling them when I change over next season. Thanks for the good idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281924 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 15:37:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2281924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My preference would be to store things the same way whether they were in or out of season. Reality has been that all but a very few things have been folded in suitcases in the cellar. Even more recent reality is that I have a whole “new” closet up here, now that my son has taken his things to college, woot woot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281913 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 15:06:34 +0000 cat2 2281913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swap hanging items into a different closet and put folded items in a small armoire so they are out of sight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281910 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 14:46:52 +0000 bridgie 2281910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, thanks for your advice. Nothing wrong with it. I always have suitcases packed with some clothes. That is too much wasted space if not used. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281864 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 06:51:09 +0000 Sally 2281864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a good person for advice but for what its worth, I put all mine in a suitcase and store it away.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281860 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 05:54:53 +0000 bridgie 2281860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again rachy! I think I will roll my jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281857 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 05:15:55 +0000 rachylou 2281857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think one only sees the rating on their own post. That is, I see what you gave me and no one else.</p> <p>…It’s true I don’t wear real trousers much. Trousers that are part of a suit, I hang. My jeans and so forth, I roll actually; but they’re in drawers or storage bins… avoids horizontal creases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281853 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 03:48:49 +0000 bridgie 2281853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachy, thank you. So, you would fold pants/jeans? Maybe you don’t wear pants so much.<br /> Ok, I seem to have another problem. I started to start another thread for it, but have decided to post it here.<br /> I am using my phone for the first time here on ylf because my computer is ILL. I may need a new one. Anyway I see that the block where I rate the replies to responders to my original post shows are visible for anyone to see. Or, it is on mine. It shows up on Irinas. On Suz’ s and Rachy’s the block shows up but is blank because I did not check a block on theirs after I saw it was visible to all, or at least it looks that way on mine. Is it visible to you other responders? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281850 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 03:23:50 +0000 rachylou 2281850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang formal wear, suits, blouses and coats and fold everything else </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281849 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 03:20:41 +0000 bridgie 2281849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz. I think pants are my main concern. I have tons of lightweight jeans that I wear for everyday, around home and even to run errands. I may fold them for storage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281846 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 03:00:14 +0000 Suz 2281846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both. I put jackets/ coats and most dresses and some trousers on hangers (I have space for this) and knits, tees, and other lightweight tops and foldable items into special storage boxes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281844 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 02:56:48 +0000 bridgie 2281844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Irina. I am so indecisive. I am sure it doesn’t make that much difference, but it sure gives me A reason to stress.

Except heavy knitwear that I keep in airtight bags over summer months. I fold lounge and sleepwear to store.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-storage#post-2281840 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 01:50:11 +0000 bridgie 2281840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Question on storage , do you store your out of season clothes on hangers or fold and lay flat?! I feel I will get both answers but that’s ok! Thanks </p>
