I’d be tempted to just open the drawers and look, or run my fingers very gently across the neatly folded scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1/page/2#post-2192208 Tue, 04 May 2021 02:48:37 +0000 notsaf 2192208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am alone I think (?) in hanging mine all folded on the lower bar of regular flocked suit hangers. Minimizes creases, and I like the uniformity and flexibility of having only triangle-shaped hangers in the closet, so don't deviate from that. Winter scarves each have their own hanger; a small collection of silk scarves is distributed over one or two. Easy to find everything to return it to it's place.</p> <p>I *love* seeing inside Katerina's collection, though: wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2192157 Mon, 03 May 2021 22:31:43 +0000 Anonymous 2192157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found that loosely gathering them &amp; sliding them into gallon baggies (nope, not elegant!) helps avoid creases and the occasional clothes moth.</p> <p>I used to fold precisely but the creasing was a problem for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2192152 Mon, 03 May 2021 22:25:59 +0000 Katerina 2192152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use shallow drawers, where I fold the scarves. Inspired by the storage in some stores, where you can see them coordinated in each drawer. Mine are not color coordinated, but I separate by size and fabric, and also solid and patterned. My scarves occupy three units, each with 6 drawers. My thickest scarves and shawls I keep folded on shelves, where I also store sweaters. For many years I struggled with suitable scarf storage, but this system works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191865 Sun, 02 May 2021 23:03:52 +0000 Isabel 2191865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also roll and fold and put them in containers in a drawer. </p> <p>When I had more closet space I used this type of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191863 Sun, 02 May 2021 22:42:43 +0000 MsMary 2191863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, a fancy friend of mine came to dinner one time and said she has a bigger version for her tablecloths in her butler's pantry!! #goals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191856 Sun, 02 May 2021 21:56:02 +0000 Sal 2191856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three places that I store them... (actually four in total)</p> <p>- most are on a ring hangar in the closet.<br />- a few small silky ones that are rarely worn are in a drawer with my evening clutch bags<br />- a couple of sentimental but never worn are in a different drawer&nbsp;<br />- sports ones (go Chiefs!) are in a bag with sports hats by our door.</p> <p>I go in and out of favour with scarves more than other pieces.&nbsp; I am not too quick to cull them for this reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191853 Sun, 02 May 2021 21:36:55 +0000 Janet 2191853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, Mary, I want that! No room in our closet/room for it though.

It's two layers -- the first one swings out like a door (third pic is back layer with front layer open). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191824 Sun, 02 May 2021 17:47:12 +0000 Jenn 2191824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have gone through so many scarf storage methods. I’ve looped them over the bars of pants hangers and used the ring holders, as well, but now I just keep them loosely folded in a drawer. (I passed the ring holders on to my husband, who needed a solution for his many soccer scarves!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191803 Sun, 02 May 2021 15:12:29 +0000 Janet 2191803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold them and store them in soft baskets in my accessories armoire (which also holds jewelry, hats, graphic tees, travel accessories, and swim and workout wear). </p> <p>Not perfect but it works. A couple of times a year I tend to take them all out, fluff and refold. They’re not tightly packed, despite appearances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191792 Sun, 02 May 2021 14:35:02 +0000 Angie 2191792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s a pic. Rolled and in a drawer. Spring and Summer scarves in the basket. The bigger cold weather collection on the side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191766 Sun, 02 May 2021 10:15:03 +0000 Anonymous 2191766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was off them for a year BC19 too, cause I didn't like the feeling on my neck. For looks I decided I like them most with a sleeveless dress, but those days are generally too hot and humid for even thin scarves. </p> <p>Scarf + topper of any sort feels ALGO and cluttery on me-maybe it's my short torso or my broad shoulders... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191765 Sun, 02 May 2021 10:11:21 +0000 Staysfit 2191765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are loosely rolled and placed into an over the door shoe container. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191763 Sun, 02 May 2021 10:06:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2191763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ST, I’m curious if, after so much mask wearing, people will be comfortable with and seek out a little something extra by their face, and seek out scarves, or if the opposite will happen and sleek tops will be in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191755 Sun, 02 May 2021 09:43:21 +0000 Anonymous 2191755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're folded in a fabric bin on the shelf of my closet. I've hardly worn them in about 2 years. If I still don't end up wearing them after we can stop wearing masks, I'll probably pass on nearly all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191753 Sun, 02 May 2021 09:37:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2191753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 15 or 20. I generally wear them, even the ones that aren’t thick or wooly, for warmth. They are folded and live in a little cabinet in the entrance hallway—Ikea Lixhult; no orange boxes here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191748 Sun, 02 May 2021 08:53:34 +0000 Minaminu 2191748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold my silk and linen scarves and leave them on the top of the wardrobe, so that they are a daily visible reminder! When wooly ones are usually on the coat, it's easier to see them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191727 Sun, 02 May 2021 04:46:42 +0000 Gigi 2191727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I put my heavier, bigger scarves on pants hangers like the pic below. The lighter scarves go in a ring hanger. That being said, all of these storage solutions create creasing or wrinkling eventually, and I eventually decided just to invest in a clothes steamer. Before scarf season begins, I go through my scarves and steam all those that are badly wrinkled, and then I put them back on the pants hanger or in the ring hanger. They will eventually wrinkle again, but once they're steamed, they are good for quite a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191726 Sun, 02 May 2021 04:34:23 +0000 Zaeobi 2191726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - I mentioned the double magnet scarf pins on @Katerina's thread. Whilst they're meant to hold scarves together during wear, I don't see why they couldn't be used for storage too:<br /> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/listing/222718254/magnet-button-bronze-antique-for" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/lis.....ntique-for</a> </p> <p>Just pop one on either side of whatever hanging method you have to keep the scarves draped without folding or knotting. I have a friend that uses them on the side of her hanging shoe cubby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191724 Sun, 02 May 2021 04:29:03 +0000 Zaeobi 2191724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use ring hangers but I loop the scarves through a sort of slipknot (instead of just letting the ends hang) - I find they crease a little less this way, because the ends aren't flapping about/ getting caught in other things. </p> <p>I have a LOT of scarves though (primarily rectangular ones &amp; silk - with some cotton &amp; wool ones too) but absolutely NO drawers, so I'm a little restricted by how I can store them anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191722 Sun, 02 May 2021 02:36:20 +0000 Carla 2191722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, dear! &nbsp;I’m no role model. &nbsp;:-( &nbsp;I’m wearing them a lot so they get tossed loosely onto the shelf above the coats along with the hats and gloves, or draped over the hanger under the coat. &nbsp;Every now and then I will fold them and layer them in the top drawer of my dresser. &nbsp;When they get wrinkly, I give them a steamy press with the iron (with a clean tea towel on top for protection from direct heat.) </p> <p>I’ve got these three (Finds) in regular rotation.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191715 Sun, 02 May 2021 01:53:09 +0000 Sloper 2191715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I store them gently rolled up, in boxes.</p> <p>Cat2 - I also have one in its special orange box . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191695 Sun, 02 May 2021 01:14:33 +0000 Jaime 2191695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a box with a lid that most of them fit in similarly to yours and it is on a high shelf because I collect but rarely wear. One day that will change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191677 Sun, 02 May 2021 00:33:01 +0000 Angie 2191677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I store mine similarly, <b>Nemosmom</b>.

Then they stay flat when I smoosh the air out, don’t tangle up as much as when I didn’t use the bags, and it’s easier to find the one I want. The woolly or warmer ones are stacked in the same drawer, but they aren’t as slippery, so I don’t use the baggies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191671 Sat, 01 May 2021 22:37:47 +0000 Irina 2191671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep long scarves looped &nbsp;on kind of ladder attached to the wall that my DH built for our scarves. For the warmer months I change woolly scarves for the linen and cotton long ones. Silk squares I keep folded flat in a box. Works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-storage-1#post-2191670 Sat, 01 May 2021 22:33:19 +0000 cat2 2191670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the same velvet hangers I use for everything else, for all but two scarves that end up back in their fancy orange scarf boxes. </p>
