wired.


We all have them.

love them, they are free.
hate them, they are annoying.

If not in the bedroom closet, they are in another space or perhaps in the laundry room. Leftovers from the dry cleaners most probably, or from our parents when we move out, somehow they are there, they multiply, funnily enough, totally opposite of our sock situations.... Can't even manage to throw them out because they are somewhat functional, like a single paperclip, never know when you might need a piece of wire to solve an issue. 

Guilty as charged.
Of course I have some, but they are transitioning out the door. I mostly use them for thin strap clothing by bending up the corners, I have to be honest, does the job, hate the look. But I have recently bought some amazing fuzzy velvet covered thin hangers which really replace wire hangers nicely. Of course replacing all hangers does mean you will have to purchase the new ones and some come at a cost. So ease into it, buy them in sets of 6 or 12 packages, you will see a huge difference in the closet. 
Go Ikea.



Though I would like to emphasize the importance of wooden hangers. Especially for men, also applicable for women. It is imperative for blazers and coats otherwise you will find yourself with oddly shaped shoulders in the garment. The heavier the garment, the more important to get some!!

So Neat...



And don't pile too many layers on a single hanger. Either you will frustrate yourself when you have little time and can't see it or it just gets forgotten, never to be worn. Or God forbid, you find it and it is no longer in style...

Inspiration...


Buy It...
I would recommend to have at 3 type of hangers:
1. thins velvet covered hangers: for shirts, camisoles and slippery clothing
2. wood hangers: blazers and coats
3. clip hangers: pants and skirts




Are you the creative type? 
Perhaps there are options for you & your wires...


The gift giver...


hmmm, no need for words, just pass them to your granny...
