We had a big discussion about closets and hangers a few months ago. </p> <p>Right now, I have *some* of my tank tops hanging in the 9" space next to my sweater hanger--but it's not wide enough for all of my tanks. I don't like having them in two different locations. So, a 9" shoe hanger thing will actually give me more hanging space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36518 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:58:23 +0000 shana 36518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the IKEA scarf holder - need to grab one next time I am down there. I have some built in shelves in a very small walk-in closet that both my husband &#38; I use. I have my camis in a stack next to cardigans and that way I can make choices easier since they are right next to each other. I don't want to hang them as many of them are knit and I am afraid of having them stretch out. Nicole, I like your idea of using a narrower hanging storage system &#38; I would probably do the same if I can had more hangar space. As it is, I don't have enough room to hang everything I need to (though it is nice having the built in storage shelves). I was thinking of switching to a skinny hanger system (huggable hangers I think they are called?). They supposedly take up much less room than the bulky plastic &#38; wooden hangers that I am using now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36389 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:22:27 +0000 tarzy 36389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also use the hanging sweater case thingy:</p> <p><a href="http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo313/tarzyYLF/IMG_0174.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i387.photobucket.com/al.....G_0174.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36372 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:30:41 +0000 Nicole 36372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje, Do you have to pull down the bin to take out the shirt you want to wear?<br /> I don't really have a lot of shelf space in my closet. I love the scarf holder you got--great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36351 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:03:12 +0000 Antje 36351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought this hanger thingie at Ikea for my scarves: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70108912" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/cata.....s/70108912</a></p> <p>Nicole, I know exactly what you mean about not wanting camis hidden away in a drawer. I recently revamped my closet, throwing out a dresser and replacing it with simple open shelves. I want to be able to see *everything*, from sweaters to camis to socks and underwear. I have a walk-in closet, and now all my tops are on open shelves, and camis, underwear, socks, exercise clothes, PJ's etc. are in clear plastic bins. I even got various translucent containers and holders for storing my earrings, bracelets, and glasses (at Storables). Now everything is in plain sight which I love and makes getting dressed (and packing my gym bag) so much easier. It feels so good to get organized! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36346 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:54:03 +0000 Angie 36346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All really good ideas. </p> <p>My cami's are stacked in a mesh wire drawer on a shelf in our walk-in wardrobe. They are completely visible at all times. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36345 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:35:32 +0000 Eva 36345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I store my cami's folded and stacked on the shelf below my hubby's shirts. But I like Greengloves idea of rolling them up in a small bin. I can still fit them on the shelf, but I can pull the one I want out without disturbing the rest of the cami's. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36257 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:36:16 +0000 shiny 36257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My nice camis are folded and in one of the two 4-drawer mesh rolling carts - along with my other sweaters and below my blouses so it's easy to grab one that coordinates. </p> <p>My less-nice camis - the ones that have seen better days - are in my PJ drawer. I don't bother to fold my PJ's - I just shove them all in there in a big mess!</p> <p>As for scarves, for awhile I had them hanging on a wire hanger, but it got unruly. So recently I culled through my clothes and made room in one dresser drawer. I have them rolled. </p> <p>Occasionally, I take them out and hang them around certain blouses in my closet. This is when I have time to advance plan what I'm going to wear for the week. For example, we are leaving Tuesday for a road trip. I know I want to coordinate with my cobalt Jcrew coat. So I took out all the scarves that look good with that, and then matched them up in the closet with blouses and cardis. Cardis are usually folded in the mesh drawers, but for vacation planning purposes, I threw them over the appropriate blouses/knit tops, and wrapped coordinating scarf around the hanger. Tomorrow night I just have to grab, fold and pack it all into a suitcase!!</p> <p>When I have time on the weekend to plan ahead, I will do similar, matching up cardis/blouses/camis and scarf on hangers so they are all ready to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36255 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:18:38 +0000 Nicole 36255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, you were right, the scarf hanger is available at the container store:</p> <p><a href="http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=77207&#038;PRODID=59794" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/.....ODID=59794</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36253 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:08:25 +0000 Kristen 36253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much closet space, so hanging is at a premium for me; only things that will wrinkle outrageously get hung. I did buy a wire-mesh 4-drawer portable organizer from The Container Store that I use for my tissue t-shirts, cami, tanks, vests, and scarves. This is great because it is in the closet with my other clothes, and because it's mesh I do see the colors and fabrics so I remember to use them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36242 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 23:21:09 +0000 Alecia 36242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh! I love how organized you all are. I just put mine in a drawer. But I love the idea of the hanging sweater organizer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36237 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 22:17:54 +0000 Anonymous 36237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have lots of scarves and store most of them folded in clear plastic shoe boxes by color...one box of black/white, one of reds, one of blues, one of greens-yellow-turquoise, one for brown/orange. If a box gets too full, I cull some scraves I haven't worn. Big pashimas are either in a drawer, in the coat closet if getting regular use, or hung on skirt hangers with dressy clothing if that's their use. This system works pretty well for me because I'm able to find what I want quickly.<br /> Camies and tanks are in a drawer. Belts are becoming a problem as I get more of them. It helps me to hang what I plan to wear the night before on a hook on the outside of my closet door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36235 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:59:25 +0000 Laura 36235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually you're doing a great job of describing it, because I can picture exactly what it is. I bet Container Store has them - thanks for the idea!</p> <p>I have a bazillion fashion scarves that don't get worn because I store them in antique hat boxes stacked on a high dresser. It's a cute way to decorate but a horrible way to have to look for scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36233 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:55:53 +0000 Nicole 36233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Laura that's a good idea.</p> <p>Winter scarves are stored on hooks in my mudroom. Fashion scarves (I honestly don't have many, and never wear the ones I do have), are stored on this hanger thingy I found a bazillion years ago. It's shaped like a giant hanger, but it has all these holes cut out of it--and I shove scarves and belts thru the holes. I'll have to take a photo of it, because I know I'm doing a horrible job describing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36232 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:52:57 +0000 Laura 36232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about trying one of those tie hangers they make for men? I've seen them at the Container Store, They are a wooden hangar with about 5 hooks per side. You could hang the camis by the straps. </p> <p>In fact, why don't I do this? I'm going to dig my camis out of the drawer and try it!</p> <p>Nicole, how do you store scarves? I find them very hard to hang (without slipping off the hangar). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36224 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:42:24 +0000 greenglove 36224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I store them all in a small cloth bin that sits on a shelf, I roll them and they take up very little room. I never like to hang things that have stretch although it probably wouldn't do a thing to harm them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36218 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:38:30 +0000 Nicole 36218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I've tried hanging multiple cami's on one hanger, but they always fall off, or I have to remove several to get to the one I want. Do you just hook them on a hanger like a regular shirt? Or do you hook the armholes over the hanger hook?</p> <p>Hmmm...maybe I can find a tiered shirt hanger--like the pants hangers that let your hang 5 or 6 pair of pants on one hanger..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36216 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:26:30 +0000 Ana 36216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your idea about the hanging sweater holder is good. You could also store them in a clear plastic drawer, so you can see inside. I don't have many camis and tanks, so I just hang mine with all my other clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36215 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:25:14 +0000 Maya 36215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have as many as you, but I just put them all on one hanger. I imagine I could fit 20 on 2 hangers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-camis-and-tanks#post-36214 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:21:46 +0000 Nicole 36214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi guys!</p> <p>I'm looking for ideas on how to store my tanks and camis. Right now they are just hanging on hangers in my closet--but they are taking up way too much room. I have a lot of them--probably 20 or more.</p> <p>I don't want to put them in drawers, because I don't wear things I don't see. </p> <p>I have one of those hanging sweater holders that has individual compartments for sweaters. This works really well for my sweaters and fine knits. I have 9 inches of space next to that sweater hanger, that I could hang something similar, but much more narrow. I was thinking maybe a hanger designed for shoes or purses might fit in there, but I would use it for my tanks and camis. </p> <p>How do you all store them? </p>
