You’ve probably been hanging your pants all wrong and didn’t even know it!
Have you ever ironed your nice pants, hung them up then hours later they’re wrinkly again? Or worse, you have huge crinkles in the knee area. Click on the video below to find out how to hang your pants to prevent creases and wrinkles. It’s four simple steps that will change the way you store your nice pants!
Here's a situation that might sound familiar: You've washed and ironed your pants and they look absolutely perfect. Then you put hang them in your closet and take them out days later only to find big creases at the knees.
Well, it turns out you can avoid this scenario entirely by changing the way you hang your pants in the first place. Ideally, we wouldn't hang pants at all, according to lifestyle expert Elizabeth Mayhew, and instead fold pants in half lengthwise and lay flat. But the reality is that most people don't have enough storage space to do so. If you hang your trousers like the rest of us, Mayhew shared her best hack to avoid those hard-to-fix creases at the knees.
Here's what you do:
1. Fold pants in half lengthwise down the center.
2. Thread one leg of the pants over the top of the hanger, so that the crotch is facing in toward the hook.
3. Fold one leg of the pant over the other side of the top of the hanger.
4. Wrap the other leg over the top of the hanger (the legs will fold onto each other).
