How to iron arrows correctly?

The devil is not as scary as he is painted. Whether this is correct or not, you will see by studying our rules for ironing creases on trousers:

Prepare your pants properly for ironing. First you need to wash them, after emptying the pockets and cleaning stubborn stains. Then turn it inside out.
Look at the label for recommendations - at what temperature can you iron?
Prepare gauze, a spray bottle with clean water and an iron with steam;
Ironing the creases on trousers begins at the very last stage; first of all, the product itself is ironed. They work using gauze and a spray bottle;
It is correct to start ironing from the inner lining of the pockets. Next – the waistband area, fly area, seams. It is convenient to iron the front part by placing a rolled towel inside. By analogy - the buttock area;
The final stage is to iron out the creases on the trousers.

In order for the latter to turn out smooth, without distortions or bifurcations, it is important to fold the product correctly. One more thing - you need to understand where the arrows should start from

Turn your pants right side out and straighten them thoroughly;
Next, on each trouser leg you need to connect the side and inside (step) seams. The resulting folds are future arrows;
In classic trouser models, the arrows are a continuation of the darts on the waistband. If you have a model with two folds, the one closest to the codpiece will go into the arrow;
On men's pants, the front creases almost always reach the waist (rarely ending 10 cm from the top), the back creases reach approximately the level of the pockets. In women's models, the arrows can start from the hip or knee.

So, men's trousers with arrows need to be ironed with gauze, first from the wrong side, then from the front. The final stage is to iron the arrows correctly:

Fold the trouser leg in the manner described above and carefully place it on the ironing board;
For convenience, the trouser legs can be secured with office clips;
Place damp gauze on the product;
The correct algorithm is to iron the front arrow first, then the back one;
The first step is to “outline” the correct arrow line. Apply the iron to the knee area, top dart and bottom of the pant leg;
Next, start stroking the entire arrow, moving from top to bottom, slightly pulling the trouser leg with your free hand;
Turn the product over and iron the back arrow in the same way. Move in the opposite direction - from bottom to top;
The second leg should be ironed in the same way;
When you're done, fold your pants leg to pant leg and go over your creases again.
Ready.

How not to fold jeans

You cannot follow some rules and ignore others.

You should pay attention to the prohibited manipulations of folding and storing pants in order to avoid unnecessary creases and the appearance of contrasting stripes:

do not throw jeans into the closet without folding them;
avoid bending near seams;
fold into a rectangle, no diagonals;
Do not put wet items in the closet.

It is not difficult to follow the rules so that further use of clothing is pleasant. Having opened a closet, you always want to quickly find what you need and put it on, rather than rummaging through a pile of wrinkled “rags.” It's worth spending 2 minutes at the beginning to enjoy a free 15 minutes at the end.

Video instructions on how to quickly fold jeans (pants):

People often wonder how to fold jeans correctly. This can be done in the usual way or use the famous Marie Kondo technique. Many people prefer to use different types of hangers to store this item of clothing. This allows you to avoid constant ironing of the product.

It is of no small importance to master the method of folding jeans into a suitcase, which will be very useful when traveling

To ensure that jeans remain straight at all times, it is best to store them without folding them. To do this, the product should be hung in a closet on a horizontal crossbar. An alternative option would be to use different types of hangers.

Classic way

The standard option is to use a classic hanger, which has a crossbar. This is where jeans are hung for storage.

Hanger clip

A hanger with a clip allows you to fix the product along the edge of the trousers. This option is considered quite convenient and allows you to avoid the appearance of bruises and creases.

This is a convenient device that was designed specifically for storing jeans. With its help, it is possible to avoid the appearance of creases on the surface of the product.

Folding things using the Konmari method

When folding using the KonMari method, you need to take stock of your values and figure out which jeans should be recycled and which ones should be kept. In almost every home there are pants that are not used for going outside, but throwing them away is not an option. Often, this is just a psychological attachment to objects with which there has been contact for a long time. Don't keep jeans that evoke memories. A clean closet is a byproduct of decluttering.

After analyzing and making the right decisions about the need for this or that thing, you should move on to the method of folding the pants itself:

the method is based on rolling clothes, like a Japanese roll;
trousers are folded in half (trouser leg to trouser leg);
the resulting “triangle” formed from the back seam is folded over to create a long rectangle;
the edge of the trouser leg is folded towards the belt with a slight indentation from it;
the resulting rectangle is visually divided into three parts and bent to form a parallelepiped;
Store jeans vertically so they take up little space.

How to store them

This clothing also needs to be stored correctly. Yes, some people use hangers, this is the right way, but it is not always practical.

So, you've folded your jeans and now you need to put everything on the shelf. Here, in principle, there are no important aspects; they are increasingly aimed at ease of further use.

Fold them alternately with different sides. This will keep the stack level and save space.

It is also advisable to sort them into horizontal rows, as this will make it easier for you to choose which ones to wear in the morning.

Well, in the end, you can distribute everything by style or by day of the week, as is convenient for you. A completely optional condition, but convenient.

In general, as you understand, it’s in vain that many people don’t do this, it looks beautiful and makes life easier. Use this method and share it with your friends.

How to store denim pants without ironing them before wearing them

The most popular is the use of hangers with hangers.

Important! In this case, hangers with any soft components that avoid creating folds are more suitable.

The process of folding onto a shelf can be carried out in a few simple steps. First you need to make sure that the pockets are completely straightened inside. Shake the jeans several times to smooth out bulky wrinkles. Spread it on the surface, connect it in half, placing one pant leg on top of the other. In this case, it is possible to connect both front and outer pockets.

Important! To avoid unnecessary folds, the seams should be on the outside.

Next, holding it across, fold it in half or in three layers, with the bottom being near the waistband. All is ready.

Method three

The third and important method is drying after washing, which will also make things smaller. However, they should also be dried correctly. Most owners of fashion items know that they can stretch during drying. How much they stretch depends on the following factors:

how to dry a thing, that is, its position during drying;
how much time is allocated for drying;
the material from which jeans are made.

The condition of things depends on how correctly the drying is performed. There are rules, the implementation of which guarantees the desired effect after washing. You can wash them, making the denim trousers smaller in size, and after drying, again look for a way to make stretch jeans fit. But to prevent this from happening, you need to adhere to several basic rules for properly drying denim items. A correctly performed procedure is the key to long service life of denim trousers, maintaining quality and appearance.

How to stretch denim?

Physical exercises

Put the trousers on yourself and fasten them with a button. Place your feet shoulder-width apart and begin squatting as if you were sitting on a chair. Return to the starting position on your own, pushing off the floor with your heels. Perform the exercise intensively for 1 minute, do several approaches.

After a while, sit down on the sofa and check whether the trousers are tight to your body. If you bought clothes a size smaller, they may still be tight.

Heating with an iron or hair dryer

Physical exercises are aimed at stretching the entire product. If you need to increase the size of a certain area, use heat treatment.

Using iron and steam

Set the iron to steam mode.
Steam a narrow area for 5-10 minutes. The problem area will become moist and stretchable.
Immediately put on your pants and walk around in them for 1-2 hours. This will prevent the drying fibers from shrinking.

If necessary, repeat the manipulations until the pants no longer fit the body.

Heating with a hairdryer

The principle is similar to the previous one, but there are several features:

Lay your pants out on a smooth surface, right side up.
Set the hair dryer to medium power.
Hold the heating device at a distance of 15 cm from the surface of the material, move it evenly to warm up all the clothes.
Using the same principle, process the back of the pants.
Take a narrow piece of fabric by opposite edges and stretch it in different directions under great force. For a better effect, you can stick your hands inside and move them in different directions.

If the jeans get cold during the stretching process, reheat them with a hairdryer. Upon completion of the procedure, put the item on yourself and fasten it with a button. Squat for 1-2 minutes for better stretching.

Wet method

Spraying

Straighten your trousers on a clean and flat surface, preferably with a towel or bag.
Moisten the tight area of material using a spray bottle. The water should be at room temperature. At the same time, do not allow the fabric to become waterlogged. The product should be slightly damp, but not wet as when washing.
For better stretch, add 1 teaspoon of conditioner to the machine, which will make the fabric softer.
Spray water evenly downwards, starting from the waist.
Stand on the area of the material that needs enlargement.
Take the opposite edge of the product and pull the jeans up with all your might. To increase width, start stretching from the waist area, moving to the buttocks and hips. To lengthen jeans, start from the middle of the product. The main thing is not to pull on pockets and belt loops, as these are vulnerable areas.
Lay your pants out on a flat surface and let them dry completely.

Soak

The best way to stretch jeans to fit your figure is to put them on yourself and lie in the bath. But to get the desired effect, follow the instructions:

Fill a bathtub with warm water and sit in it with your jeans buttoned up for 15 minutes.
Without getting up from the bath, manually stretch narrow sections of fabric for 10 minutes.
Drain the water and let the jeans dry a little on your body so that when you leave the bathroom, water does not flow from your clothes.
Stand up and do physical exercises to stretch the tissue.
Wait half an hour for your pants to dry on you. This way the clothes will take the shape of your body. While drying, you can lie down or do household chores.
Remove the pants and fill them with some objects or hang them on the back of a chair so that the material does not shrink during final drying.

Note: There should be enough water in the bath to completely immerse the item of clothing.

Using the Extender

An expander is a device used by tailors to increase the width of a garment at the waist. Sold in specialized sewing stores. When using the device, you must adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

Take measurements and fasten all buttons or zippers on your pants;
Moisten the waist area with water, best done with a spray bottle;
Place the extender along the waistline inside the trousers;
Set the desired width of the jeans on the device.
Stretch the fabric evenly to the desired size.
Leave the product to dry with the expander installed inside.

Drying should occur naturally without the use of special devices.

Methods for shrinking jeans

There are plenty of options to fix the problem.

It is important to choose yours. Before shrinking your jeans, check out the pros and cons described in the method

In addition to alternatives, the main thing remains washing and its varieties.

There are many ways to return jeans to their original size.

Hand wash

Pants can be made smaller by hand washing. To do this, it is better to use a hot water bath. Take enough water to completely immerse your pants, add detergent or powder. Then immerse the thing in water

It is important that the item of clothing is completely wet, you can press it down with your hands

Hand washing will help make your pants smaller.

After these manipulations, you need to drain the water, rinse (do not wring out), and again draw hot water. Let the pants lie in it until the liquid cools completely. Finally, start drying.

Water needs to be poured twice.

Machine washable

The method is distinguished by its ease of implementation and efficiency. Set the hot temperature to 90 degrees and maximum spin. This way, the item will sit in the hips and it is possible to eliminate stretched knees.

Machine washing on a hot cycle will help eliminate stretching.

Cold and hot water

The hot water method is described in hand washing. A similar contrast also works in reverse: first cold water, then hot. The nuances of the method: you need to first shrink cotton clothes in cold water, leave them flat in the bathroom overnight. In the morning there is a contrast with the temperature changing from cold to hot (hot water).

Contrasting temperatures also promote shrinkage in denim.

In both cases, drying is recommended in a horizontal position. The best example of this would be drying on an ironing board, using an iron with different ironing modes.

Boiling

This is the same advice from my grandmother - boil it down. It is made on the stove in a large enamel basin, stirring with wooden tongs for 30 minutes. Suitable for those who are not afraid of losing the product in case of failure and achieving uneven color with a boiling effect.

Boiling is an effective but dangerous method.

Shrinkage exactly to your figure

No matter what methods you use, not a single powder or water will guess your parameters. Therefore, you can put your pants on yourself like this:

We put on our pants. Fill the bath with hot water. Getting into the bath with your pants on

Make sure that the water covers all areas, including the lower back. We wait for the liquid to cool down to room temperature... Immersion in water directly in them will help to fit the pants exactly to your figure. It is better to wash jeans on yourself in the warm season

Immersing yourself in water while wearing them will help you get your pants to fit exactly.

It is better to wash jeans on yourself during the warm season.

Reducing a specific area

Locally shrinking the area is possible with automatic drying and a spray gun. To do this, dilute the product in a 1:3 ratio from water and conditioner. Spray on the desired part and send to dry at maximum power. If you used dishwashing powder or gel, you need to be prepared for remaining white stains from the products. They can be removed by washing.

Using a spray bottle you can fix problem areas.

Folding methods

If there is no closet with hangers, you can fold your pants in a compact way and send them to the shelf with your other “brothers.” So let's do it.

In a closet or chest of drawers

This method is the simplest, but is not suitable for trousers with arrows. Any other model:

Fold in half lengthwise. Align along the seams. We make sure that the bottom does not twist and that the top is “pocket to pocket.” Be sure to smooth out all excess creases with your palms.
Mentally divide the resulting rectangle into three parts.
We take two pant legs by the bottom and bend them so that the edge lies along the second fold.
Bend it up again. All!

Roll

You can fold any trousers in this way - both classic and regular ones without creases. The only difference is that the first ones are first folded lengthwise along the arrows, and the second ones - seam to seam.

Prepare something else. It will be located inside the created roller. Place it on your trousers laid out on a flat surface.
Grab the pants from the top and start rolling them along with the item to the very bottom. You don't need to make a tight roll, but it shouldn't be loose either.
At the same time, smooth out any creases that appear.

Compact in a suitcase

If you need to pack chinos, slacks or jeans, try this method:

Fold your pants in half lengthwise. Smooth out all folds and creases. Make sure that the inner and outer seams fit neatly together.
In the fly area, define a triangle. Fold it towards the middle of the trouser leg.
Mentally divide the rectangle of trousers in half and fold along the fold.
Now divide into three parts and fold the bottom part along the first fold.
Fold the top to the bottom and insert the bottom edge into it.

It turned out quite compact and reliable.

Pants with arrows

For dress pants, the “suitcase” method is slightly different:

If you have several pairs, fold each one lengthwise along the arrows.
Carefully smooth out all creases and folds.
Place it as shown in the picture. In this case, the top of the trousers should be in the container of the suitcase, and the legs should be outside it:
Place other clothes on top. Try to keep it packed tightly and compactly. When the suitcase is full, carefully place the loose bottom of the trouser legs on top of the clothes. And close the lid.

If desired, between the sides and the resulting “cube” of clothing, you can place another layer of something, even wrinkled.

How to fold things: detailed instructions, photo

Folding things seems like it could be easier, because we have been doing this since childhood. But comparing our house with the houses in the photo, it seems that we have never learned how to put things away, and also that we need a specially trained person to clean up the house.

The first thing you should pay attention to is where you put things. No matter how hard you try, if there is a minimum of space and a maximum of things, the mess will not go away from the house.

For example, select one shelf or drawer for bed linen and another for towels. Place T-shirts in one pile and T-shirts in the second.

For small items such as handkerchiefs, socks and panties, it is better to use small drawers or install space dividers, dividing one large drawer into several small ones. But large ones, such as rugs, blankets, etc. It is best to store on shelves, thereby saving space in the house.

So, let's start with bedding and bedding. To ensure that the bed is always in perfect order, we recommend using the space under the bed. This can be a box or drawers. Thus, it is enough to fold blankets and pillows inside, straighten the sheet and cover the bed with a blanket to make it look perfect.

We recommend folding replacement bedding sets according to the size of the pillowcases and placing them in one of the pillowcases of the set. In this way, in the closet on the shelf you will have filled pillowcases in ready-made sets, which will greatly simplify the change of linen, since you will not have to look for a duvet cover for a sheet, and everything will be in one place. This method is neat and time-saving. Here's how to fold a sheet with an elastic band in our photo instructions:

Fold the sheet in half so that the elastic is inside as in the photo;

There is a separate area for socks. After washing, you need to fold the sock into the sock, fold socks without a pair separately, and after the next wash, carry out an inspection and find a pair;
We put the panties in a separate area. Either purchase an organizer or take a shoebox of the appropriate size;

Shoes on the shelf should be kept in place for the season, the rest should be washed, dried and packed in boxes, with paper or non-woven fiber placed between the shoes. For convenience, you can purchase a spacious shoe organizer.

How to make an insert in the middle of trousers

This option is difficult, but very interesting and unusual. You can cut trousers in different ways:

straight cut;
oblique cut.

Consider a straight cut. We cut off the trousers exactly in the center of the knees, measuring in advance and drawing a straight line on the leg. We make the insert from identical fabric or similar in color and thread weave. Cut out a strip of the desired height and length and sew it on.

To style it, the insert can be cut into several pieces and re-sewn. Or, without cutting, make folds that are stitched with a double seam, imitating a cut.

You can lengthen your jeans using unusual details - lacing or chains. Cut the trousers in the middle, higher or closer to the bottom. The cut edges can be hemmed, overlocked, or fluffed up as a fringe.

Then insert eyelets (small diameter metal rings) onto both parts of the trouser leg in parallel(!), at an equal distance from each other.

You can thread a cord through the eyelets, connecting both halves, without tightening it too much. You can also attach metal or plastic chains of the same length to the eyelets using rings.

Having cut the trouser legs diagonally, we very carefully cut out the fabric for insertion. It also needs to be cut obliquely so that the grain goes from bottom to top or vice versa. A lace insert will look very original.

The trouser sections can be processed or left as is. Place the lace insert on top and sweep it by hand, check for movement, and measure. Then stitch.

How not to do it

Many people make common mistakes when storing jeans. First of all, experts do not advise throwing things on the shelf as necessary. Despite the fact that such clothes are made of thick fabric, they can wrinkle. Improper storage of jeans can cause creases and stripes to appear.

When folding the product, you should pay attention to the location of the seams

To always keep your closet in order, you should follow these rules:

Pants should be alternated on the folding side. Thanks to this, the slide will not fall on its side.
Products should be placed so that they are nearby and do not block access to other things.
Jeans must be folded in such a way that one fold is visible. This will help you avoid pulling an unnecessary pair out of your closet.
You should arrange your clothes by color. It is recommended to place thick trousers at the bottom, thin trousers at the top.

It’s easy to spend a significant amount of money in a store on the perfect pair of jeans, but how to properly care for them afterwards is not always clear (machine wash, don’t wash, hand wash, or even don’t wash at all)

We have collected twelve really useful tips that will help extend the life of your favorite jeans, no matter if they cost 50 or 2 thousand rubles

1. True denim connoisseurs know that jeans made from thick denim (“raw denim”) cannot be washed for six months. They must first fit according to the figure, and then beautiful abrasions form on them, they will be different for each person, this is the “trick” of this model. Until jeans have aged beautifully, they cannot be washed.

2. You don’t need to immediately wash jeans you bought in a store. The manufacturer already washed them during production. So you should put a couple in the machine when it gets dirty.

3. It is not necessary to wash jeans if the fabric has absorbed an unpleasant odor, such as tobacco smoke. You can hang your jeans in the bathroom before showering (the steam will freshen them up), or freeze them in a plastic bag and keep them in the refrigerator for two days (yes, this method really works).

4. To prevent jeans from losing their brightness, you need to wash them first, turning them inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle or by hand.

5. Add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar during the rinse process if you are washing black jeans to help them retain color better.

6. If you use an electric dryer, dry your jeans on the lowest setting. When the jeans are only slightly damp, hang them on a line to dry, they will better retain their original shape.

7. Learn to fold jeans the way they are usually folded on a store counter. Reach your hand into each pocket and straighten it out. You won't be able to fold your jeans neatly if the pockets are bulging or sticking out. Grab your jeans by the waist and shake them a couple of times to smooth out any noticeable wrinkles. Place one pant leg next to the other. Fold the jeans so that the seams are on the outside, otherwise they may become wrinkled. You can fold your jeans so that either the front pockets or the back pockets touch each other. Fold your jeans in half or thirds, depending on how much space you have in your closet. If you have enough space, fold them in half and smooth them out with your hand. If you need to fold your jeans more compactly, fold them in thirds by first folding the legs in half, smoothing them out, and then placing them at the edge of the waistband.

8. Denim products need to “breathe,” so you shouldn’t cram many pairs onto one shelf. They should lie quite freely.

9. Wash your jeans twice before taking them to a tailor to have them shortened. They may shrink a lot during the first washes.

10. Jeans that are too tight can be stretched using an iron with a steam setting. They need to iron the waistband of their jeans. If your jeans are too small in the hips, you need to put on the jeans and wet them in the shower; under the influence of water, the fabric will stretch and fit to your figure.

11. If chewing gum is stuck to your jeans, do not try to tear it off immediately. Place the jeans in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for an hour. Then scrape off the frozen gum with a kitchen knife or dull blade.

Or T-shirts so they wrinkle less? Probably yes. How to fold jeans? Hardly. Meanwhile, properly folded jeans have a lot of advantages. This article describes the most convenient and practical way to store trousers and jeans, as well as how to fold them.

So what is he, the perfect wardrobe?

Let's turn to the experience of French maids who know how to professionally lay out and hang things in the closet.
Dresses. Of course, almost all dresses should be stored on hangers. The only exceptions are knitted thick sweater dresses, which are best stored folded, like a regular knitted sweater. Dresses made from thin natural fabrics are best hung on soft hangers covered with smooth soft fabric.

It is not difficult to store jackets in the closet - just hang them individually on wooden hangers that have a smooth rounding at the ends (so as not to deform the shoulder line). And, by the way, don’t forget, when putting the jacket away in the closet, take everything out of its pockets! Otherwise the thing will become skewed!

It is most convenient to store skirts and trousers on hangers with clips. Only skirts are hung by the belt, and trousers - by the bottom of the trouser legs: this way they stretch better under their own weight and maintain an ideal “arrow”. By the way, to save space in your closet, buy several “multi-story” hangers with clips: then you can store up to 4-5 skirts or trousers on each hanger.

Men's cotton shirts are usually stored on the thinnest wire or plastic hangers. The main thing is that before you hang your ironed shirt in your wardrobe, let it cool completely!

Jeans are stored lying down. The most correct way: turn the jeans inside out, fold them at the seams, smooth them out, fold them in half and then in half again. There is an option: roll up the jeans. In both cases, the trousers will retain their correct shape.

T-shirts, turtlenecks and tank tops are folded lengthwise, the sleeves are rolled up, then folded once across so that the sleeves are inside. T-shirts are folded in loose piles of no more than 4-5 items each.

Panties are usually stored “at large” - in a separate drawer for underwear, without being organized in any way. But women’s underwear can be packed compactly: to do this, simply insert them, like nesting dolls, one into the other and place them in a textile container so that they do not wrinkle or gather dust.

Tights, stockings and socks are best stored in a silk bag: firstly, it prevents the tights from collecting snags in a wooden closet drawer, and secondly, it ensures normal air movement.

It is better to store ties, belts, scarves and other textile accessories in cardboard or textile boxes separately from each other and from clothing. Ties and belts can be rolled into loose snails, and neckerchiefs can be laid out freely in a spacious box.

That's basically it. Having analyzed how to properly store things exactly in your realities, proceed to your ideal wardrobe. Keep in mind that every six months the closet must be vacuumed and ventilated, and if necessary, washed with simple, unscented soap. Whether to use scented sachets in your closet is a matter of taste, but know that sometimes clothing fragrances do not allow the free use of perfume.

By spending a few hours putting things in order in your closet, you will save a lot of time in the future, as you will instantly find the thing you need.

The second option is how to fold trousers or jeans

It often happens that wardrobe items simply do not have enough space in the closet. And then some of them migrate, for example, to the chest of drawers. But since there is not too much space in the chest of drawers, we will learn how to fold jeans with the least loss of this very space.

Having completed all the procedures for preparing the folding of jeans described above, you can begin folding. To do this, lay your jeans out on a straight surface and smooth out any wrinkles. Then fold one pant leg to the other. Once again, having leveled the surface of the trousers, begin to carefully roll them into a roll. If your roll is not smooth or lumpy, straighten your jeans and practice again.

This technique saves space in your chest of drawers and is perfect for traveling when storage space is limited to one suitcase. Also, when twisted tightly, the jeans return to their original shape and the elongated knees of the trousers become less obvious.

How to fold clothes compactly

To prevent clothes from getting wrinkled, it is best to roll them up or stack them in a special way. Lifehacker has already talked about it. And he even made a video instruction:

So we will not dwell on this method. But it’s worth talking in more detail about how to roll things up.

How to fold pants

Suit trousers need to be folded crosswise in half and, starting from the fold, rolled into a regular roll.

It's better to fold your jeans a little differently. Turn the top part out and place one pant leg over the other. Starting at the bottom, roll up the jeans. Then wrap the folded part around it.

How to fold sweaters, shirts and other long-sleeved items

Place the sleeves at an angle on the front of the sweater and fold them in the middle. Turn the bottom of the sweater out a few centimeters. Fold the right side of the jacket towards the middle and cover it with the left side. Starting from the neckline, roll the item and wrap it with the folded part.

Shirts are folded similarly:

You can use a simpler method: fold the shirt in half, lay the sleeves lengthwise and roll it up.

T-shirts fold almost the same way as sweaters:

And to save time, you can collapse them together:

How to fold dresses and skirts

Simply fold the skirt in half lengthwise and roll it into a roll. You can do the same with dresses with short sleeves. If they are long, fold the dress in the same way as sweaters.

How to fold warm clothes

If you only need to take a couple of sweaters, sweatshirts or other bulky items with you, you can simply fold them neatly this way:

And to save space, it’s better to put them in a suitcase not on top of each other, but vertically.

A warm jacket can be rolled into a tight roll and tied with rubber bands for security, as shown in this video:

Or put it in a bag or case:

But if there is a catastrophic lack of space in your suitcase, vacuum bags will come to the rescue. It is better to choose bags without a valve - they are also called compression bags.

Place your things there, zip the bag and roll it tightly. This will allow excess air to escape.

How to pack a suitcase

You can simply stack folded clothes on top of each other or put them in organizers. This will create order in your suitcase. And if you divide clothes into them by type (jeans in one organizer, T-shirts in another, and so on), this will also make it much easier to find the things you need.

Here are some good organizers:

Things rolled up and placed in organizers take up very little space. This way you can fit almost an entire wardrobe not only in a suitcase, but even in hand luggage!

Well, if you still want to fold things the old fashioned way, in a pile, use tissue paper and film. This way the clothes will definitely not get wrinkled.

How to fold jeans correctly - BRANDSHOP

Every modern resident of the metropolis has a pair of jeans in their wardrobe, and more often than not, more than one. But does everyone know how to fold jeans correctly? At first glance, it seems that durable denim does not require special storage conditions. But in reality, creases and unnecessary folds can form on jeans. We'll tell you how to fold jeans correctly so as not to ruin them.

Simple rules for storing jeans

It has always been believed that the ideal way to store trousers and jeans is with a hanger. Indeed, if you hang your pants on clothespins or a bar that comes with many hangers, no creases will appear. In the case of jeans, it is recommended to attach the bottom so that they hang with the pockets facing down. But this method requires at least a tall cabinet. If there is none, you can throw the trousers over the horizontal bar on the hanger. In this case, you should choose a hanger with a wide bar, preferably upholstered in soft material. Maybe someone even has a retractable pantsuit.

But what to do if all the hangers are occupied and the vertical closet is overcrowded? This is not a problem for jeans. You can put them on a shelf, as is done in stores. The sellers there know how to fold jeans correctly. You can try to peek, but it’s better to remember a few simple rules:

To begin with, you should check your pockets and put all your things out of them;
Straighten your pockets so that they do not stick out;
Remove the belt;
Shake the jeans, straighten them and carefully place them on the surface;
If you wear jeans with cuffs, remove the cuff;
Then fold the jeans in half, one leg over the other;
Check that the seams are at the edges, otherwise creases may appear during storage;
If you need more shelf space, you can fold the crotch seam between the legs, but this is not necessary;
Next, fold the jeans in half towards the waist so that the bottom does not touch the end of the top, but only reaches the waist;
If they don’t fit on the shelf this way, you can fold them again according to the same pattern;
If this doesn’t seem enough, you can roll the rest of the trousers into a tube.

By the way, folding your jeans is another great and easy way to store your pants. This is an ideal option for packing luggage. This way, even during a long flight, your jeans will not wrinkle and will look like new.

To roll your jeans, first fold them in half and then carefully roll them into a roll. Check that the roll is level.

As for storage in closets and on shelves, rolling is also quite appropriate here. You can stack the rolls on top of each other or in one line, like in a suitcase. Get creative and arrange your pants by color. This way the shelf will look not just neat, but also stylish.

Recommendations

It is better to pack trousers without a belt and the contents of the pockets.
Each bend must be smoothed. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the product in an “even” form.
It is necessary to check at each stage whether all seams are “in place” and whether the arrow has “moved”.
Do not put trousers in a suitcase while hot after ironing; let them cool slightly.
Do not place rollers with trousers at the bottom of the suitcase. To prevent them from getting wrinkled, it is better to place them on top.
To prevent the appearance of obvious creases in the folds, place thin rolls of a waffle towel or terry napkin in them.
When you arrive, be sure to immediately unpack your suitcase . Take out the pants, shake them and hang them on the back of a chair, a hanger, or a closet door.
