Q: What kind of hangers should I use in my closet?

A: The most important part of organizing the clothing you hang in your closet is the type of hanger you use. Anything too flimsy will buckle under the weight of certain items (like jeans), anything too thick or heavy can make hanging certain shirts and dresses more difficult. A good rule of thumb is to go with the best slim, durable hanger you can afford. I rely on the standard tubular plastic style, found in bunches of 10 for under $10.00 at stores like Target, because they hold clothing well and are easy to use. You can find the same in a rainbow of colors at the Container Store to customize in a single color, like pink or purple. Use clip style for pants and strapless items to avoid creasing.
