How to Store Jeans?
It’s that time of year again — time to start thinking about spring cleaning. Your wardrobe is no exception. You’ll have to decide what to keep and what to donate, but you’ll also need to determine the best way to store your clothes for the next few months.
You can fold them up and store them in the closet if you have enough room. You can also hang them up on hangers. Don’t use wire or plastic hangers; instead, use wooden hangers to help keep your jeans in shape.
The proper way to store jeans is on a hanger and kept in a breathable garment bag. This will keep them from getting stretched out and help them maintain their shape. You can also fold your jeans to avoid wrinkling. If you’re storing jeans for long periods of time, wrap them in acid-free tissue paper first to prevent color loss.
10 Places to Store Jeans
Jeans are considered by many to be the quintessential casual pant. They can be dressed up or dressed down and they’ve been a fashion staple since the 1950s. Because of the popularity of jeans, most people own more than one pair.
It’s easy to simply hang them in your closet, but if you want to keep them in better shape, there are other options available.
1. In the Jeans Drawer
This is the most obvious place to store jeans, although it’s not necessarily the best. If you have a lot of jeans and a small dresser, this can be a good option. However, if you have a big dresser with lots of empty space, jeans might look messy and wrinkled stuffed into other clothes. It also makes them hard to find.
Rolled in a drawer – Rolling can help minimize wrinkles, as well as reduce the amount of space needed for storage. This method does not work well for pairs with lots of folds or creases, however, because those will get permanently set into the fabric.
2. In Shoe Boxes or Air Tight Containers
This is a clever way to keep your jeans organized, especially if you use stackable shoe boxes that fit inside your dresser drawers. Measure each pair of jeans, then get enough boxes so each pair fits inside one.
Store clothes in airtight containers – If you want to store your clothes for a long time, then you should use soft plastic bags or boxes with lids instead of cardboard boxes because they can absorb moisture and cause a musty odor on clothes due to exposure to moisture in the environment.
3. Use a Hanger or Rack
If you want to store jeans so they’re ready to wear, but don’t want folding marks, then hanging them is an excellent solution. Use a sturdy hanger and loop each jean leg around it, making sure that you secure both loops in place. If you want an even easier storage solution and have enough space, consider using a clothing rack.
On A Hanger With Pants Hangers – Jeans are too heavy for ordinary hangers, but pants hangers keep them from stretching out and looking weirdly long when you hang them up. They’re also easier to find than folding them and putting them away in a drawer or closet.
On A Hanger With Clips – If you don’t want to invest in pants hangers, you can use ordinary hangers with clips from the hardware store! This is also great for skirts and scarves because they stay put without falling off the hanger.
4. Hang them in your closet
The easiest place to store jeans is right inside your closet or on a clothing rack. If you have a lot of room, you might consider hanging all of your jeans together on a single clothing rod.
This will make it easy for you to see everything you have at one time and choose which pairs you want to wear that particular day.
It also helps keep them organized and prevents wrinkles from forming while they’re being stored. If you don’t have that much space, consider hanging a few pairs together based on color or purpose (dressy vs. casual).
5. Hang on a trouser rack
The simplest and most space-efficient way to store jeans is to hang them on hangers. Don’t use ordinary clothes hangers though, as they’re too flimsy and will cause your jeans to lose their shape. Instead, invest in a trouser rack with hangers specifically designed for jeans.
6. Store in a fabric bag
Storing your jeans inside a fabric bag will protect them from dust and insects, which might nibble on the cotton. Fabric bags also help prevent moisture damage if you live somewhere humid or damp, as well as keeping dirt at bay if you live somewhere dusty or dirty.
7. Shelves
Another alternative is to fold your jeans and stack them neatly on shelves inside your closet. This method works best if you own several pairs of jeans in different styles and colors, making it easier to locate the perfect pair each morning before work or school.
Just be sure that your shelves are tall enough to accommodate folded jeans — you don’t want a pile of denim toppling over onto the floor!
8. In a dresser
If you have an extra drawer or two in your dresser, you could use it to store your jeans. Just fold them up and slide them into an empty drawer. This works especially well if you have a lot of jeans, but no room to hang them in your closet. It also makes it easy to sort through your jeans when picking out an outfit because they’re all right there in one place.
9. Under the bed
Jeans stored under the bed may not be as accessible as those stored in other areas of your bedroom, but they are out of sight and out of mind until you’re ready to wear them again. Just remember: Bed skirts can hide a lot more than people think; so if you do store jeans under there, make sure to fluff up the skirt every now and then so that it doesn’t fall down over your clothes and suffocate them.
10. In the laundry room
If you have a stackable washer and dryer, this is an excellent way to take advantage of the vertical space available in your laundry room. Keep jeans where they belong – with other items that need to be washed before you wear them again. Just remember not to dry them as soon as they come out of the wash; hang them up so they don’t get any more wrinkled than necessary.
Also, keep in mind that washers and dryers do vibrate a lot when they’re running; so if you store jeans on top of or next to the machines while they’re in use, those jeans might end up on the floor by the end of a load cycle.
In summary, Storing your jeans correctly can keep them looking new for a long time. When stored incorrectly, the shape and color of your jeans can change. And, depending on the quality of the material, they may even shrink!
