Choosing the Right Style of Wooden Hangers



Shape and Function

  Arm Shape
The shape of a hanger has more to do with function than aesthetics. Hangers that have straight arms are meant to hold dress and casual shirts hanging straight for crisp, wrinkle free storage. Arms that angle down on a slant are better for delicate or stretch fabrics that may pucker on a standard wooden hanger. Many people prefer a slight slant if they do not want to buy a lot of different styles of hangers, because they work well for everything from sweaters to suits.
  Curvature
A curved hanger is meant to keep clothing slightly separated on the bar. Wooden hangers with a curve are great for helping suits and jackets from getting crushed and wrinkled in the closet. You may prefer to get curved wooden hangers for your suits and then select flat wooden hangers for your pants and casual clothes.
  Shaped to Save Space
Hangers that are flat can fit closely together on the bar, saving you space in your closet. They don't add space between the front and the back of your shirts and tops, so they're great for preventing wrinkles in clothing that does not have a shaped or molded shoulder. You can also save space in your closet and time in your day by using coordinate wooden hangers. These hangers allow you to pair up tops and bottoms on a single hanger.
  Specific Function
Another thing to consider is functionality. If you want to protect the molded shape of the shoulders of your suits and tops, you can select a hanger with extra wide shoulders for added protection. If you are worried that a slanted hanger might allow your clothes to slip, you can select ones with built-in rubber grips.
  Your closet will look fantastic and your clothing will be fully protected if you choose wooden hangers that are designed for what you are hanging on them. Pants and skirt wooden hangers help you to stay organized while preventing these hard-to-hang garments from ending up on the floor.
  Wooden tie hangers, belt hangers, and scarf hangers help you to keep these smaller items from creating clutter in your closet while protecting them from wrinkles, snags, and crimps. Some hangers will allow you to cascade several pairs of pants or other garments from one wooden hanger so that you can hang multiple items in the space of one.
